Lyudmila Navalnaya says she was blackmailed and threatened to accept a secret burial. Aleksei Navalnyi died last week at the age of 47 in the arctic penal colony where he was serving his prison sentence. During a court appearance only one day before, Navalnyi looked healthy and in good spirits. According to Navalnyi\u2019s lawyers, the certificate the investigators produced say that he died of natural causes. The international leaders, family members and his Russian supporters have blamed the authorities for his death and some even say he was murdered. We recall that Navalnyi survived an attempted murder in the past, when the Russian secret services had allegedly attempted to poison him with a nerve agent known as Novichok.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANCTIONS The United States will impose new sanctions on Russia in response to the death of the Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalnyi but also to mark two years of war in Ukraine.
