Julia, in a black dress, with her hair tied back and a smile appropriate to the occasion, explained that her husband had been killed with Novichok. “They cowardly and meanly hide his body, refuse to give it to his mother and lie miserably while waiting for the traces of another Putin Novichok to disappear.”
He held back tears and let out more than one News: “By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me, half of my heart and half of my soul.” But I still have the other half that tells me I have no right to give up, I will do the work of Alexei Navalny, I will continue the fight for our country.
