"Yulia Navalnaya's Resilience and the Future of Russian Opposition"
Russian officials have rejected the European Union's demand for an independent postmortem of Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who died in prison. Navalny's mother is demanding the immediate release of his body for a humane burial, as officials have refused to provide details of his death. Navalny's death has raised concerns about systematic repression in Russia, with suspicions of foul play given his history of anti-government activism and a previous poisoning attempt.
