Young Russians in shock at the death of Navalny, Putin’s sworn enemy. “I’m shaking!” I feel such emotions as if I had lost a parent,” reacts to AFP Maria, a 22-year-old computer scientist.
The death of Mr. Navalny after a poisoning for which he accused the Kremlin and three years of detention deprives an already bloodless opposition of its figurehead. Almost all of the protest figures are behind bars or in exile abroad.
