The stunning news came in a terse statement from the Russian penitentiary service a year ago: Opposition leader Alexei Navalny had died in the Arctic Circle penal colony where he was serving a prison sentence. In the year since the death of Navalny at the age of 47, the Russian opposition has struggled to find its footing against President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Outlawed at home and operating from exile abroad without Putin&#8217;s fiercest foe, it has failed to form a united front and a clear plan of action against the Kremlin. Instead, rival groups have traded accusations that some see as efforts to discredit each other and vie for influence. In a statement on Sunday EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas said: &#8221;Alexei Navalny gave his life for a free and democratic Russia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Today, his lawyers remain unjustly imprisoned, together with hundreds of political prisoners. Russia must immediately and unconditionally release Alexei Navalny\u2019s lawyers and all political prisoners. Since 2020, the EU has sanctioned those responsible for Alexei Navalny&#8217;s poisoning, arbitrary arrest, and unfair prosecution and politically motivated sentencing. The EU calls on Russia to end its brutal repression of civil society, media, and opposition members, and to comply with international law.&#8221; And Germany&#8217;s Chancellor Olaf Scolz posted on X that Navalny died &#8221;because he fought for freedom and democracy in Russia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Navalny\u2019s death was \u201ca point of no return\u201d and left an impossible void to fill, said Oleg Ivanov, a supporter who left Russia after it invaded Ukraine in 2022 and lives in Los Angeles. \u201cAlexei was the only hope that Russia has, at least potentially and hypothetically, some kind of a meaningful leader who could unite all the people willing to change something in our country, in our lives,\u201d Ivanov said in an interview with The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanov, who joined the mass protests that erupted across Russia in 2017, said that since Navalny&#8217;s death, &#8221;I\u2019m afraid that there is no one left who could somehow resist\u201d the Kremlin. Navalny is the second opposition leader whose sudden death shocked Russia and the world. In February 2015, prominent politician Boris Nemtsov was gunned down on a bridge near the Kremlin just days before he, Navalny and others were expected to lead a mass anti-Putin rally.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/02\/16\/russias-opposition-remains-leaderless-a-year-after-navalnys-death\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/russias-opposition-remains-leaderless-a-year-after-navalnys-death\/\">Russia\u2019s opposition remains leaderless a year after Navalny\u2019s death<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,10807,588],"class_list":["post-137541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-navalny","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
