I will not announce anything unexpected... All this was only a matter of time and Navalny himself was unlikely to expect any other result, but considering that before his arrest he voluntarily returned to Russia after treatment in Germany.
The death of opposition leader Oleksiy Navalny was confirmed on Saturday, February 17, by his spokesman Kira Yarmysh.
"Aleksii Navalny was killed. His death occurred on February 16 at 2:17 p.m. local time, as written in the official notice issued to Alexei's mother. An employee of the colony said that Navalny's body is in Salekhard. He was taken by investigators of the SC. Now they are spending time with him" research," she wrote.
"Relatives and lawyers of Oleksiy Navalny have received official confirmation of Oleksiy's death," the official Telegram channel of Navalny's team also says.
The news about the death of an opposition politician in the colony was spread the day before, on February 16, by the press service of the FSVP. According to the official version, Navalny felt ill that day during a walk in the colony, he "passed out almost immediately." Medical workers of the FSVP were immediately sent to him, and an ambulance team was also called, but resuscitation measures did not yield positive results, the department's statement says.
On the same day, colleagues of the oppositionist Kira Yarmysh and Ivan Zhdanov held an urgent stream, during which they declared that he was "with a very high degree of probability" killed. According to Zhdanov, "it was Putin who killed him."
Oleksiy Navalny's wife Yulia, who spoke at the Munich Security Conference on February 16, said: "We cannot trust Putin and the Russian government. They always lie. But if this is true, I want Putin, all his entourage, Putin's friends, his government knew that they would be held accountable for what they did to our country, to my family, and to my husband. And that day will come very soon."
