Yulia Navalnaya: "I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny"
Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny, said she will continue her late husband's work. "I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny. I will continue to fight for our country. And I call on you to stand with me. To share not only the grief and the endless pain that has enveloped us and won't leave us. I ask you to share with me the rage. Rage, anger, hatred for those who dare to kill our future. ... It is not shameful to do little, it is shameful to do nothing. It is shameful to let yourself be intimidated," she stated.
By now, many will have heard the devastating, unbelievable news of Alexei Navalny's reported death in a Russian prison. Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, says that she awaits confirmation of these claims.
If this news is confirmed then several things are necessary:
1)- Vladimir Putin bears sole responsibility for Navalny's presumed death
2)- The presumed death of Alexei Navalny is premeditated murder, following on from the confirmed murder attempt in August 2020
3)- In response, Russia must never be welcomed back into the international circle until Putin is removed from power
4)- Putin's international arrest warrant must be extended to include systematic assassination of Russian dissidents
5)- All of the Russians involved in this presumed crime must be sanctioned and blocked from entering as many countries as possible
6)- The international community must launch a comprehensive investigation into the deaths of all Russian politicians and other dissidents going back to 1998 and present their findings to the International Criminal Court
7)- The international community must demand medical records to substantiate Russia's "investigation" into Navalny's presumed death
8)- The international community must continue to investigate and expose the domestic crimes of Putin's regime, including the domestic terror attack of August 2020, when Putin tried to murder Navalny with the banned chemical agent Novichok
9)- Putin must be designated as an international terrorist
If this news is confirmed, nobody can doubt that the Russian regime has a state program of assassination used against its own citizens. Each and every one of these murders is a crime against humanity. Putin must never be allowed to rest again. He must face maximum pressure from all quarters and renewed investigations into the previous murders of Russian dissidents.
I give sincere condolences to Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, his children, Daria and Zahar, his parents, friends, and his loyal supporters who have continued his work during his unjustified imprisonment.
It is Russians like Navalny who have spoken out against Russia's slide into tyranny, terrorism, and moral disgrace. Putin is the worst stain on Russian history since Stalin. He will get the punishment that is coming to him for this and for his many other crimes, including his ongoing crimes against Ukraine.
Please share this post in support and memory of Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny, the bravest Russian of the last decade.
“These Bastards Will Never See Our Tears”: How Yulia Navalnaya Became Russia’s Real First Lady
When the Kremlin tried to kill Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, his wife launched an epic battle to save his life and became the face of the resistance to Vladimir Putin. July 8, 2021
"You are dealing not with a politician but with a bloody mafiosi. Putin is the head of an organized criminal group....The political innovation is that the methods that need to be used are ones used to fight organized crime, not political competition.
Yulia Navalnaya has published a video address in which she vowed to continue her late husband’s political work and called on Russians to rally around her to fight for a free Russia.
“I will continue Alexei Navalny’s work … I want to live in a free Russia, I want to build a free Russia,” Navalnaya said in a powerful nine-minute video published on social media.
“I call on you to stand with me. To share not only grief and endless pain … I ask you to share with me the rage. The fury, anger, hatred for those who dare to kill our future.”
Putin tried and failed to murder Navalny quickly and secretly with poison, and now he has murdered him slowly and publicly in prison. He was killed for exposing Putin and his mafia as the crooks and thieves they are. My thoughts are with the brave man's wife and children.
