Kremlin rejects the “gross and unfounded” accusations of Alexeï Navalny’s widow. Yulia Navalnaïa accused the Russian authorities of being behind the death of her husband, an opponent of Vladimir Putin.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also considered justified the arrests of people paying tribute to Navalny by peacefully laying flowers in front of monuments in memory of victims of Soviet political repression. The Western world strongly denounced the death, imprisoned for more than three years, and judged the master of the Kremlin responsible.
