For the love, for always supporting me, for making me laugh even in prison, for always thinking about me.” Ljosha is the pet form of the name Alexei, he had spent the last three years in prison .

Widow Navalnaya blames “monster” Putin for her husband’s death
Navalnaya, daughter Daria and son Sakhar were not in Russia for the funeral - for security reasons.
The widow had accused Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin of murdering Navalny in the EU Parliament.
She faces arrest.
She has also announced that she will continue her husband's political fight against Putin.
In front of parliament in Brussels, she called Putin a “monster” and his power circle a “criminal gang.”
She warned Western states: “Putin is capable of anything.”
Her speech shortly after Navalny's death at the Munich Security Conference also caused a stir.
In this she conjured up a Russia in which Vladimir Putin would have to answer for his “atrocities”.
“That day will come soon,” she said.

“I don’t know how to live without you” – Yulia Navalnaya to the late Alexei
In her message to her late husband, Navalnaya continued: "I don't know how I will live without you, but I will do my best to make you up there happy for me and proud of me.
I don’t know if I can do it or not, but I’ll try.”
“I am sure we will meet one day.
I have so many untold stories for you, and I have so many songs saved for you on my phone, silly and funny and generally, frankly, terrible songs, but they're about us, and I wanted so badly for you to hear them listen to you.
And I wanted so much to see you listen to it and laugh and then hug me.
I will Always Love You.
Rest in peace."
