This Friday, the body of Alexei Navalny lay in a church in Moscow, Russia, where a funeral ceremony took place, drawing more than a thousand supporters to bid farewell to Putin’s opponent.
According to Reuters, Navalny’s press secretary even discussed the possibility of postponing the funeral of Putin’s opponent due to the fact that the body did not leave the morgue at the appointed time. The funeral ceremony, scheduled for 11:00 (7:00 Lisbon time), began only at 14:00 (11:00 local time).
In accordance with Sky NewsThere are snipers stationed on the roofs of Moscow.
The crowd applauded and chanted as Alexei Navalny’s hearse arrived and continued to make noise during the ceremony, chanting the Russian opponent’s name.
Navalny’s coffin left the church less than an hour after the ceremony began. We arrived at the Borisov cemetery after a short journey.
Before the open coffin, the parents of the Russian opponent said their last goodbyes, kissing Alexey, to the sounds of Frank Sinatra’s song “My Way”. Several people also stroked Navalny’s face. Others who were unable to enter the cemetery screamed their final goodbyes.
The Russian oppositionist’s Anti-Corruption Foundation published television footage of people throwing flowers at Alexei Navalny’s hearse and shouting “Thank you, Alexey!”
