Hundreds of people gathered outside a church in south-eastern Moscow where Alexei Navalny is to be buried ahead of the Russian opposition leader’s funeral on Friday. Navalny, Russia’s most prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine, died in February in a remote Arctic prison colony at the age of 47. His widow Yulia Navalnaya and exiled team have accused Putin of ordering his murder to scupper his release in a prisoner exchange.

The Kremlin has dismissed the allegations, while investigators in charge of the inquest claimed Navalny died of natural causes. Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesperson, told reporters on Friday that the Kremlin had nothing to say to Navalny’s relatives and declined to comment on his political stature, according to state newswire RIA Novosti. Peskov said anyone who protested at the funeral would face a police crackdown. “We have to remind you there is a law and it needs to be observed — any unsanctioned gatherings will be against the law. So anyone who takes part in them will be held responsible under the law,” he said.

Footage on social media showed a heavy police presence outside the church amid what Navalny’s team has said is a Kremlin-directed attempt to limit public shows of support. Police arrested about 400 people who left flowers at monuments to Soviet political prisoners following Navalny’s death. Navalny’s mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, has said officials in northern Russia refused to hand over his body for a week and threatened to let it rot unless she agreed to bury him in secret. After authorities released his body, Navalny’s team said funeral agencies refused to hold a wake for him or provide a hearse after receiving anonymous threats.

Navalny’s memorial service is to be held at the Soothe My Sorrows church in Marino, the neighbourhood where he lived for many years before he was poisoned with the nerve agent novichok in 2020. He will then be buried in the nearby Borisovsky cemetery. After recovering from the poisoning in Berlin, Navalny was arrested immediately when he returned to Moscow in 2021, and was sentenced to decades in prison on a series of charges ranging from tax evasion to extremism.

Russia banned his foundation, which prompted most of his followers to flee the country, jailed the few prominent supporters who stayed, then in effect outlawed all dissent when Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Kremlin then gradually moved to isolate Navalny from the outside world, forcing him to spend 27 stints in a punishment cell that he said amounted to torture and arresting three of his lawyers.

Brochure from Demri’s memorial service, which was held on November 2, 1996. It has a yellow rose on the cover, a poem by Anne Lindgren Davison on the left side, Demri’s birth and death dates and other information about the service on the right. “Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard his call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I’ve found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me now; He set me free”. 📸: shared by Marisi Sojit and posted by “Comunidad Alice in Chains Chile” Facebook group

Rudolph Valentino died in New York on August 23, 1926. The next day, crowds filled the streets outside the Frank E. Campbell funeral home at Broadway and 66th St. during his memorial service. Valentino lay in state for several days and thousands of mourners rioted, smashed windows, and fought with police to get a glimpse of the deceased matinee idol. Standing guard by the coffin were four Fascists, allegedly sent by Italian leader Benito Mussolini but in fact hired by Frank Campbell’s press agent.

Poem: My Funeral Speech

If someone were ignorant enough

Of the way that I think,

Or courageous enough,

To ask me to speak at a funeral,

I don’t think everyone would stay

Until the end

Of my speech.

Or that they would allow me to.

Because I

Would sigh,

Look everyone in the eye,

And then say…

What has happened

(“To” “the deceased”)

Is not a miracle,

And was inevitable:

To live

Is to owe life

To die—

To leave

Life.

It takes some people

A long time to pay.

And it takes some

A short time.

Some people are paying now,

As I speak.

And the rest of us will pay later.

Over a million of us,

(Thousands of whom are not

And will not be sick,

Hundreds of whom are strong),

Within a week.

Some people leave life after

They have lived for a hundred

Years.

And some leave life before

They have lived for a hundred

Seconds.

Or even four—

Or less.

What’s more,

Almost all of us

(All of whom

Did not choose

Whether to exist)

Do not choose

When to exit

Life—

Although we can,

If we choose

To exit now.

In other words,

And in closing,

The bigger the family,

The longer the list

Of corpses

It owes life.
