Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of long-time Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has called on Russians to protest in the upcoming presidential election in Russia. She spoke out in favor of a protest against Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, which was aimed at overloading the polling stations.

Navalny died on February 16 in a Russian prison camp in the Arctic, where he was serving a 19-year prison sentence. The protests are effectively illegal in Russia, and organizers and participants can be imprisoned for several years.
