TL;DR Summary

Over 400 people were detained in Russia while paying tribute to opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died at a remote Arctic penal colony. His sudden death has led to widespread mourning and protests across the country, with hundreds of people being detained in multiple cities. Questions about the cause of his death linger, and his team has accused the authorities of deliberately stalling the release of his body. Navalny had been a vocal critic of the Kremlin and had survived a nerve agent poisoning, but had been jailed since January 2021. His wife, Yulia Navalnaya, made a dramatic appearance at the Munich Security Conference, holding Putin and his government responsible for what happened to her husband.
