Quick Glance: Bold Step: Yulia Navalnaya on the Future
- With the loss of Alexei Navalny, Russia has not only lost Vladimir Putin's best known rival, but also unexpectedly gained a new symbol of resistance.
- After the emotional video posted in the days following his death on February 16, Navalny's widow Yulia reaffirmed her determination to continue her husband's fight against the regime and encouraged others to fight even more resolutely.
- While official sources deny any involvement in Navalny's death, Navalnaya strongly believes that he was targeted due to his role as an anti-corruption crusader and government critic. This perspective is also echoed by a majority of Western leaders.
- In her upcoming political journey, Navalnaya could draw inspiration from the experience of Belarusian politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who decided to step into the shoes of her imprisoned husband and challenge dictator Alexander Lukashenko in 2020.
