Alexeï Navalny died this Friday while serving a 19-year prison sentence. His last interview given to a media outlet was via correspondence from October to January 2022 with a journalist from the American weekly Time.
The activist spoke of his return on January 17, 2021 to Russia, where he was immediately arrested upon his arrival in his country. “There was no discussion with my friends, no emotional conversation with my wife,” he wrote from his cell. The short-lived candidate for the presidential election in December 2016 also gave “the origin of all the conflicts that Russia is waging with the West”
