“No war!” at the Borisovsky cemetery in Moscow
Video: BBC Russian Service
“He was not afraid, and we are not afraid!”, “Yulia, we are with you,” chant those who came to ask for Navalny.

The crowd chants “Putin is a murderer!” - Russian media.
“Putin killed him, but didn’t break him,” - this is the poster hung on a tree on Borisovskie Prudy Street
“Bring the soldiers home!”, “Ukrainians are good people,” chant those gathered at the Borisov cemetery
People also turned on flashlights in memory of Navalny.

Heroyam Slava.
From what I’ve seen from the cemetery I’d say thousands of people easily. Seeing these Patriots willing to come out gives me a modicum of hope for Russia.
Very risky time now for Russia. These kind of things can be the spark that leads to more civil unrest, open protests and revolts. 2 weeks till election… May Putin live in interesting times.
Looks like some idiot created a martyr. Good to see this. Hopefully it leads to Putler getting wrecked.
This is why Putin is afraid of the elections. Not because he needs to adhere to the result, but because it can be a catalyst for protests. And protests are a feedback loop where the more people are protesting, the more safe it is for more people to also protest. I hope the Russian people can get rid of their leaders and stop the war they don’t want.

The vast majority of Russians support the war and Putin.The vast majority of Russians respond to polls saying they support the war and Putin. The actual margin is much more thin. But unfortunately there are still many many Russians who support the war.
Edit: here’s a video explaining the phenomenon https://youtu.be/WrO5-fXTbYs
@JohnDClay Not ‘many.’ Most.
Where are you getting that? Polls as I said aren’t a great indicator since people are afraid.
@JohnDClay
I am a fluent Russian speaker with a degree in Politics and lived in Russia for years.Nobody takes the polls seriously. Neither inside nor outside Russia
I get my information from reliable sources in Russia, with whom I am in daily contact.

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and assume you’re actually a Russian propagandist, so enjoy the blocklist comrade.
Looks more like thousands than hundreds? That’s an impressive turnout.
@tunetardis @LaFinlandia
Statistically insignificant.Over 10k reportedly, with obstacles in place. For Russia where everyone there could be jailed, disappeared, or sent to the front line as cannon fodder, this is about as statistically significant as anything we’ve seen since the early days of the war
But significant.
@rah
True. Statistics are not everything.
Thousands in a city of thirteen million isn’t great
Massive Turnout at Navalny’s Funeral Despite Obstacles from the Kremlin, people shouting ‘no to war’ and ‘Putin is a killer’ (article includes videos)
In a powerful display of solidarity and defiance, over 10,000 individuals gathered outside a church in Moscow today for the funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Chanting slogans such as “Alexei” and “We are not afraid,” mourners paid their respects to Navalny, who died in prison on February 16.
Hey, it’s just like that episode of Star Wars Andor!
I thought the same thing but decided that maybe I shouldn’t say it.
most shouted “russia without putin”. lets go big: world without russia!
the russian shitnation has caused so much trouble around the world. sometimes countries (like germany where i live) need to take a break by being broken.
i think there is no need for a russian nation if their ppl are so weak and brainwashed like right now. nothing is lost with russia. no culture, no good sportsmen, no products…there is nothing specifically russian that is of value. buy oil/gas elsewhere. russia is just obsolete. wipe belarus too while youre at it.
Remember the times the country where you live caused everyone troubles?
well i am too young for that but we got history classes and so we saw enough videos and being happy about nürnberg. lets hope there will be a nürnberg for the russian agressor.
