There seemed to be no suggestion then of Alexei’s future fame.”I did not get married to a promising lawyer or an opposition leader. I got married to a young man named Alexei,” she told the Russian weekly Sobesednik in 2020.Rosenberg: Dissent takes courage – and Navalny supporters are defiantIn pictures – Navalny’s years as a Putin criticNavalny – what next for Russia?It seems Ms Navalnaya shared Alexei’s politics from early on – in the 2000s they were both members of the liberal Yabloko party. But she led a relatively private life until her husband’s poisoning in 2020, making few public appearances or speeches.When he was taken ill in the Siberian city of Omsk in August of that year, she wrote directly to President Putin, asking for him to be released for treatment in Germany.”Every moment when we were there, I thought ‘I had to get him out’,” she told Russian documentary maker Yuri Dud.Navalny was able to get out of Russia, with the help of a German-based charity.Yulia returned with him to Moscow several months later after his treatment, and saw him arrested immediately. The remainder of his life was spent behind bars.Image source, EPAImage caption, Navalnaya may be emerging as an opposition figure in her own rightFormer US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, who has called Yulia “principled and fearless”, said at the time that there would be enormous pressure on her to play a more public role, and that she had “all the credentials”.”Navalny could not have a better partner in life than Yulia Navalnaya. She shares his convictions, his bravery, his fearlessness,” he told the US network NBC.”She also has raised and protected their two children in a way that has generated deep admiration among supporters of democracy in Russia.

Ms Tikhanovskaya is widely considered to have won the vote, which were rigged in favour of the incumbent, Alexander Lukashenko.But her speech at Munich and a subsequent address to supporters on social media (in Russian), both filled with emotion, suggest she may be changing her mind.”What we need is a free, peaceful and happy Russia. The wonderful Russia of the future my husband so dreamed of,” she says in the video address.”That’s the country I want to build together with you.
