On 16 February 2024, at 14:19 Moscow time (11:19 GMT), the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug announced that Russian opposition activist and political prisoner Alexei Navalny died while serving a 19-year prison sentence in corrective colony FKU IK-3, in the village of Kharp in the Russian Arctic.[1][2][3] Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, confirmed his death the next day and demanded his body should be returned to his family as soon as possible.[4] One report from Russia Today suggested the cause of death was a blood clot, but this diagnosis was disputed by Alexander Polupan, who had treated Navalny before. Navalny was 47 years old when he died.[2]
Navalny's death spurred numerous protests and gatherings in different countries, including Russia, where hundreds of mourners were detained.[5][6] Western officials and Russian opposition activists held Russian authorities, including President Vladimir Putin, responsible for his death.[7][8] Russian authorities have denied responsibility for Navalny's death.
Navalny's funeral was held in Moscow on 1 March 2024, at the Mother of God Soothe My Sorrows church in the Maryino District. He was buried in the Borisovskoye сemetery in the Brateyevo District.[9][10]
