The body of leading Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has been returned to his mother, his spokesperson says.

It comes after she had reportedly been told to agree to a “secret” burial, or else he would be buried at the prison colony where he died.

In a post on X, Navalny’s spokesperson Kira Yarmysh thanked everybody who had demanded the return of his body.

“The funeral is yet to take place,” she wrote. “We don’t know whether the authorities will interfere with it being carried out in the way the family wants and as Alexei deserves.”

    90% of Republicans are “Republican” in the same way that 90% of people who celebrate Christmas are Christian.

    There was a minority (as far as total number of Republicans) of extremists at the capital as there are extremists in every group. But it’s funny that every one of those people seemed to be consuming and sharing Russian propaganda on social media. And Fox/Tucker Carlson and other complicit news agencies with the buildup.

    It’s laughable the older I get seeing how many useful idiots there are. Including comrade cabron up there ^ either working for them, or chasing their carrot.

    I say we execute all extremists in Minecraft. Problem solved for at least one generation.

    I kid, violence against extremists creates even bigger violence. But soon the internet will be sectioned off by country or countries. Russia, China, Iran and many other middle eastern countries are already doing it. And everyone will be happier… for a while.

        Exactly. It’s great they weren’t rioting, sure. They still want to destroy everything. So it really isn’t better.
