Navalny's Mother Says She Always Knew He Was Murdered After Poison Finding

Western governments allege toxin epibatidine in Navalny's remains, accusing Russia of poisoning; Kremlin denies claims, calling them biased and unfounded.

  • On Monday, supporters and Navalny's team in exile marked the second anniversary with events in Russia and more than 20 countries, while dozens visited Borisovskoye Cemetery in Moscow.
  • Navalny returned to Russia and was arrested after surviving a suspected Novichok poisoning in 2020, then later died in the Polar Wolf penal colony.
  • European governments said laboratory analyses found traces of epibatidine in Navalny's remains, while a Munich Security Conference joint statement accused Russia of deploying the toxin despite unclear sample provenance.
  • The family said recent assessments vindicate their belief; Lyudmila Navalnaya called Navalny's death murder, saying `This confirms what we knew from the very beginning.` Dmitry Peskov rejected the allegations as unfounded, saying `Of course, we do not accept such accusations.`
  • Rights groups demanded clarification and transparency as Amnesty International said `To this day, the Russian authorities are covering up the circumstances of his death` and Memorial estimates Russia holds at least 5027 political prisoners.
