russian tv rarely mentions navalny.ut the prison service statement about his death and moved on to other news. he was vladimir putin's most vocal critic, a protest leader, and anti—corruption campaigner, who had long clashed with the kremlin. i remember this seven years ago. navalny is russia's most prominent opposition figure and president putin's most vocal critic. he has been barred from running in the presidential election. he has now been arrested by police. in 2020, in siberia, he had been poisoned with a nerve agent and airlifted to germany for life—saving treatment. he accused the kremlin of trying to assassinate him. but as a politician, he felt he couldn't stay away from russia. when he returned the following year, he was arrested on arrival. he'd beenin was arrested on arrival. he'd been in prison ever since. his friends and family fearing for his safety. just hours after alexei navalny was reported dead, his wife, yulia, metred dramatic appearance at the munich security conference. she couldn't confirm his d

navalny was a politician.ange, someone had to put themselves at the top of the ticket and be willing to lead the charge to push putin out of power and become the next president of russia. he made the calculation that that was not something that he could do from exile — that the longer he stayed in exile as he was being treated for poisoning in germany, the longer he stayed in exile, the less credibility he would have, the less traction he would have, that the fight is in russia itself. and if that meant you would potentially have to spend the rest of his life in prison it was a price worth paying because it was the only way to move in the direction he wanted, and the direction he believes russia needed to go in. he certainly succeeded in showing what it takes, but it's hard to see that this has been a success in terms of russia's democratic future. we'll see what kind of symbol he becomes. and i'm certain that his death — his martyrdom, frankly — the way it's being talked about in the russian opposition commun

navalny was a man of huge courage. he took a joy in here his opposition role that i think was a bit infectious for most russians were describing before the de, they revealed this house that appears a belonged are closely linked to putin. other cases of corruption. these were all things russians knew about their leadership, but couldn't believe somebody was able to go point out he survived so many brushes with death, but mostly that that poisoning attempt where his life was saved. here in germany after a plane made an emergency landing us officials, i don't think had any sense of this was coming. i saw a good number of them this morning and in our conversations about russia, this never came up, but i'd say what did come up. the, this overall sense of a deepening confrontation? with moscow that was not supposed to be the way things would play out. the idea was that starting 30 years ago, more with the fall of a wall, russia would slowly get integrated into europe. that seemed to be working until vladimir putin came to th

no mention of alexei navalny. channels just read out the russian president service saying that he had died. i think navalny's hasn't been uttered on state-controlled tv for many years. president putin himself wouldn't mention his name. he would refuse to even say his name, the words. he would call him, that citizen or something like that. that gave mr. navalny even more political power. the man who vladimir putin was scared to speak of. anchor: thank you for sharing your reporting with us today. russia has featured heavily as a topic at the munich security conference after former prom -- former president donald trump's statements where he said he would not protect nato allies from an invasion. for more on the fallout, i spoke with john, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and former national security advisor under the trump administration. thank you for joining us. i want to get your reaction to alexei navalny's death. >> it's a sad occurrence. it demonstrates, putin thinks he can act with impunity to do

navalny died, this is the russia that navalny died, this is the russia of the third president, by the way, navalny was poisoned in the russia of the first president, he returned to russia as the second president and died in russia as the third president, it must also be understood that this perturbation happened very quickly, i believe that when we look at putin, in this conversation with carlson, by the way, this is also an interesting moment, so toker carlson did not ask anything about navalny, nothing at all when he was asked about it, he said that...he didn't want to ask these questions that all american journalists ask, he doesn't want to talk about murder, leadership is always murder, he said, but that was before navalny died, and what does toker carson look like now with his trip to putin and with all this behavior, he essentially nullified this entire propaganda moment, this entire performance, that too must be understood, and by and large... i think that what we observed when this was history from rurik to the present day, it was clear that he himself understands that he does

navalny was it.e of defense, and he is now gone. >> there is no organized opposition left within russia, with the death of navalny? >> no, the pressure on much of the opposition have been mounting, in the years, really leading up to the assassination attempt, the poisoning of navalny back in 2020. my understanding now is that the opposition largely operates in exile. there's a lot of work going around, continuing with the youtube videos that do reach an audience, but they are not on the ground. they are not community based. they are not a grassroots organization any longer. think back to the mobilization putin launched after the invasion of ukraine, hundreds of thousands of young men fled the country rather than subject themselves to conscription, and there is a sort of a sense that there is passivity in russian circles in society right now, that this is the way it is with putin in charge, and nothing will change soon. >> so then, am i to take it that, putin is up for election in russia. putin, no do

. activist alexei navalny.ussian news agency tass says proscutors have opened a criminal case against navalny�*s brother, oleg. it's not clear what he's accused of, but tass says police are searching for oleg navalny, who was already on the wanted list in connection with another matter. in 2014, oleg navalny was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for fraud in a case kremlin critics said was trumped up and designed to pile pressure on his late brother. meanwhile, navalny�*s family have still not been allowed to take his body home. they say authorities are deliberately keeping his body from them. he died suddenly in a prison in the arctic circle on friday. his family have been told they won't get access for another two weeks, because more chemical analysis is needed. yulia navalnaya said she sees no other reason for russia keeping his body than to let traces of poisoning from the nerve agent novichok disappear. the kremlin has called the accusations unacceptable. navalny s widow, seen here meeting european union of

what fears for your husband safety is navalny's death bringing up for you >> navalny's a murder. did not bring any new fears because i have been hearing from my husband's life since 2015 after the assassination of boris nemtsov and my first, my husband's first poisoning two months after that. both things happened in 2015. i have been leaving with this understanding that anything can happen i'm not the only one feeling shore this way. in russia, there are hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners and many of them are treated the same way held in isolation deprived of contact with their families, and being subject to daily torture and yulia navalnaya is vowing at this point to continue the work of her husband. she has urged others to stand with her in that fight is enough. >> we can >> opposition leaders who were in exile be effective against putin because navalny your husband, they made a calculation that they needed to be in russia. how can the movements succeed from outside? >> first of, all i want to say that my heart goes out to you and that i can feel her pain and millions

three years ago, navalny fell desperately ill on a plane.germany showed he had been poisoned with novichok, a nerve agent. when he recovered, he returned to russia and was sent straight to prison. the criminal charges began piling up to keep him there. navalny had been in courtjust a day before his death was announced, appearing via video link from prison. his persistent cheer was, in itself, an act of resistance. journalists used to ask navalny constantly whether he was afraid for his life and he would brush the question off. then two years ago, he was asked for his message to supporters if he were killed. this for the situation when i'm killed, it's very simple — not give up. without navalny, though, the future for all russians who hoped for change has never looked bleaker. you saw kira yarmysh, mr navalny�*s spokesperson, in that report from sarah rainsford. well, my colleague azadeh moshiri has spoken to ms yarmysh, who told her the navalny team is still trying to learn what has happened to his body. we don't know anything about the loca

do you think that >> putin is behind navalny's death? >> good evening absolutely. i believe that it is a political assassination. and that is a tool that vladimir putin has been using for many years and now country, both on the russian soil and on foreign soil as well. >> and i believe is responsible for alexey's murder. and the fact that his body will not be released to his family for two weeks. and as always, it's actually don't even try to to find a different explanation, but they're saying that they're conducting a chemical analysis meanwhile, they to causes put forward by the russian authorities that two causes of alex ayse, where the sudden death syndrome and thrombosis which according to alexey's doctors was unlikely because alex it was not suffering from any condition that would make it likely >> this was obviously a murder. and they themselves are not giving out the body to the family but, you know, had they done this, wouldn't that be a great opportunity for them to prove? >> that >> they had nothing to do with alex's death had
