“We were robbed of hope”: Putin’s police crack down on grieving Navalny supporters. By late Friday evening, more than 100 people had been arrested at commemorative events in several Russian cities.
People came to lay flowers in memory of Navalny, who, according to official sources, died at the age of 47 in a prison camp in Russia's far north. “It confirms our worst fears and our view of Putin for what he is,” says Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
