I find this odd considering his alleged marital status? The mother receiving the body of her son suggests the marriage had ended. There are also whispers to this effect. Though it’s very clear the estranged wife of Navalny is the media mouthpiece. Let’s look at the continuing coverage.

Russia’s authorities have returned the body of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to his mother, eight days after he suddenlydied in an Arctic prison

“Alexei’s body was given to his mother. Thank you very much to everyone who demanded this with us,” she said.
Still the “wife” spews on.
She accused Vladimir Putin of “Satanism” for keeping hold of the body
“We already knew that Putin’s faith was fake,” she had said in the video filmed and produced outside Russia.
The Orthodox faith stipulates that certain prayers and rituals need to be carried out with a body nine days after death
Therefore the necessary prayers and rituals can be carried out in an appropriate time frame.- Today is the eighth day and the mother has received the body
Lyudmila Navalnaya, Navalny’s mother, has been in the Arctic town of Salekhard since he died.
The mother has been in the town of Salkhard to retrieve her son’s body. While the obviously estranged wife, spews sound bites to the media from another location. Interesting?
She was reported to be in California
President Biden met with Navalny’s widow and daughter in California
Contradictory reports
- His sudden death sparked the most widespread protests in Russia
- Although the protests were small in scale, they took place in most cities across the country.
Widespread or small scale? It can’t be both, not really.
Perhaps I’m mistaken about the wife being estranged but I don’t think so. Expect the estranged wife to fade largely into obscurity.
