Navalny funeral march in Moscow? Putin's opposition is trying to profit from sentiment. The Russian “Civic Initiative” party says it wants to hold a funeral march for the deceased opposition leaders Alexei Navalny and Boris Nemtsov.
The party leader and former economy minister Andrei Nechayev published a scan of the application on his Telegram channel on Monday. It is unlikely that the Russian authorities will wave the funeral march through. Even if the Russian party's application is not approved, it is demonstrating a silent protest.
