VILNIUS, Lithuania – Leonid Volkov, the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s close associate and top strategist, accused Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin´s “henchmen” of being behind a brutal attack that left him hospitalized in Lithuania´s capital and vowed to “not give up.”
Picture taken on March 13, 2024 shows a police car standing at the scene where Leonid Volkov, a close ally of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was attacked outside his home in Vilnius, Lithuania, on the evening of Tuesday, March 12, 2024. The attack took place nearly a month after Navalny´s unexplained death in a remote Arctic penal colony. He was Russia´s best-known opposition figure and Putin´s fiercest critic. Navalny had been jailed since January 2021 and was serving a 19-year prison term there on the charges of extremism widely seen as politically motivated.
His funeral in the Russian capital on March 1 drew thousands of supporters, a rare show of defiance in Putin´s Russia amid an unabating and ruthless crackdown on dissent, as Navalny´s widow Yulia vowed to continue her late husband´s work. Not long before his death, Navalny urged supporters to flock to the polls at noon on the final day of voting to demonstrate their discontent with the Kremlin. His allies have been actively promoting the strategy, dubbed “Noon Against Putin,” in recent weeks.
