The recent death of Alexei Navalny, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has sparked international concern and discussions about Putin's responsibility for the tragedy. Navalny, an anti-corruption activist, was held in a Russian penal colony after being arrested upon his return to the country in 2021. His arrest was seen as an act of defiance, as he was well aware of the potential dangers he faced.
Navalny had previously survived an assassination attempt when Russian agents poisoned his underwear with a nerve agent. Despite this, he bravely continued his fight against corruption in Russia, becoming a symbol of resistance against Putin's regime.
