Yulia Navalnaya says she wrote the name of her late husband on the ballot paper in the Russian presidential election. The widow of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said this on Sunday in Berlin after taking part in the election at the Russian embassy there.
Thousands of opponents of the long-time president accompanied the election in Russia with a remarkable wave of protests. Hundreds of people also demonstrated against Putin in front of the Russian Embassy in Berlin. According to Russian authorities, Navalny died in a prison camp in the polar region in mid-February.
