A year after Navalny’s death, the Russian opposition struggles without its charismatic leader

Aleksei Navalny, a prominent opposition leader, died in a Russian prison on February 16, 2024, after being sentenced to years in harsh conditions for alleged extremism charges.
A year after Alexei Navalny's death on February 16, 2024, young Russians show indifference toward his legacy, with 37 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds claiming they know nothing about him or his work, according to Denis Volkov, director of the Levada Center.
Russian authorities continue to suppress Navalny's supporters, sentencing his lawyers and allies to prison.
While many young Russians avoid discussing politics, Navalny's supporters still remember him as a figure who spoke the truth and opposed President Vladimir Putin.
