Alexei Navalny is to be buried in Moscow on Friday. But transporting his body becomes a logistical problem.
Unknown people threatened funeral homes so that they wouldn't rent out a car. The funeral service is scheduled to begin in the church in honor of the Mother of God icon "Relieve my sorrow" at 2 p.m. local time. The burial is planned at the Borisovskoye Cemetery, about half an hour's walk away. 47-year-old Navalny died suddenly on February 16 in his “Polar Wolf” penal colony in Siberia.
