[HIGHLIGHTS] They attack the main ally of the deceased Russian opponent Alexei Navalny with a hammer

Leonid Volkov was attacked in Lithuania, where he lives in exile. An attacker sprayed him with tear gas in the face and broke his arm with a hammer.

“It was a bandit salute characteristic of Putin's henchmen,” Volkov said. The attack occurred about a month after Navalny's death in a remote Arctic penal colony. His funeral in the Russian capital on March 1 attracted thousands of supporters, a rare show of defiance in Putin's Russia.
