"Navalny's Legacy: The Future of Russian Opposition Amid Murder Accusations"
TL;DR
A human rights activist claims that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny may have been killed with a single punch to the heart, a tactic reminiscent of the KGB. The activist alleges that Navalny was weakened by exposure to subzero temperatures before the fatal blow. Navalny's official cause of death has not been released, and the Russian authorities have refused to hand over his body to his family, citing the need for a two-week "chemical examination." Navalny's widow has accused Putin's regime of poisoning her husband and then delaying the release of his body to cover up the murder, while the Kremlin denies any involvement in Navalny's death.
