Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has said that she can “imagine Russia without Putin”, and that, though it “could take a very, very long time”, it could also “happen tomorrow – like everything happens in Russia”.
Speaking at the Southbank Centre’s London literature festival for the launch of Navalny’s memoir, Patriot, Navalnaya said that she would not be able to continue her husband’s work, including leading the Anti-Corruption Foundation he founded, if she did not believe there could be an alternative to Putin.
