Kremlin opponent Navalny is to be buried in Moscow. The German ambassador to Russia, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, also wants to be present.
It is feared that the Russian power apparatus will take tough action against Navalny's supporters. Hundreds of people have been arrested across Russia who wanted to lay flowers at monuments for the well-known opposition politician. The funeral service in the church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Relieve my grief” in the southeastern district of Marjino is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time.
