Crowds chant anti-Putin slogans at Navalny funeral

Thousands of mourners gathered at the funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to pay their respects and protest against President Vladimir Putin. Chants of “Putin is a dictator” and “Navalny lives on, Putin will fall” echoed through the streets as the crowd marched towards the Kremlin.

Navalny was a fierce critic of Putin’s government and was known for his anti-corruption investigations. His sudden death has sparked outrage and calls for an independent investigation into the cause of his passing. Many believe he was poisoned by the Russian government, although officials deny any involvement.

The funeral procession was a somber yet defiant display of opposition to Putin’s rule. Mourners waved banners and held up photos of Navalny, vowing to continue his fight for democracy and accountability in Russia.
