Putin police are already preparing the cemetery and church: Russia is preparing for Navalny's funeral. The late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will be buried in the afternoon.
The fear of violence by Russian authorities against mourners is great. A large security presence is expected - and there are fears that uniformed officers could block access to Navalny’s supporters. The widow Yulia Navalnaya also spread the call to come to the funeral service. She refused a secret burial initially requested by the authorities.
