On Saturday February 24, the Russian authorities returned the body of Alexeï Navalny to his family. The opponent of Vladimir Putin died in a penal colony on February 16.

It remains to be seen how his funeral will take place. The only thing that remains certain is that a few weeks before the presidential election, the authorities do not want Alexei Navalny's funeral to turn into a political platform for opposition forces. The predominant thesis is that of a funeral which would resemble that of Yevgeny Prigojine.
