Yulia Navalnya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, said today (Monday) that she will continue her husband's fight for a free Russia and called on her supporters to fight President Vladimir Putin with greater fury than ever.
"I want to live in a free Russia, I want to build a free Russia," Navalnya said in a video she published under the title "I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny."
"Vladimir Putin killed my husband," Navalnaya said, adding that she would work with Russian citizens to fight the Kremlin for the establishment of a new Russia.
The Kremlin denies involvement in his death.
"By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me - half of my heart and half of my soul," she said.
"But I still have the other half, and he tells me that I have no right to give up. I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny, I will continue to fight for our country."
"I beg you to stand by me," she said.
"I ask you to share the rage with me. Rage, anger, hatred towards those who dared to kill our future."
Navalny accused the Russian authorities of hiding Navalny's body and waiting for the disappearance of traces of the Novichok nerve gas, from which he was poisoned in 2020 according to Western countries.
"We know exactly why Putin killed Alexei three days ago," she said.
"We will tell you about it soon. We will definitely find out who exactly committed this crime and exactly how. We will mention the names and see the faces."
