Thousands gather for Navalny's Moscow funeral amid fears of arrest 

I'm from Russia. I was there today. We will never forget Alexei Navalny!

Can you imagine living in a country where you can be arrested for attending a funeral?......I can't either.Fight for freedom and Democracy!

They are also chanting, "he was not afraid so we are not afraid." Such courage is awe inspiring.

Alexei Navaly: "When i die, it means that we are strong". May he rest in peace.

A dictator has absolute power. Until one day they don't. History does repeat itself.

One sacrificed himself for the sake of the country, the other sacrificed the country for himself Rest in peace, Alexey💔

Poootin has only made Navalny more powerful.

A voice that spoke the truth A heart that loved his land A mind that saw the future A soul that never bent He faced the darkest forces He suffered for his cause He rallied millions of people He challenged unjust laws He paid the highest price He gave his life away He left a lasting legacy He showed us how to stay Navalny, we remember you Navalny, we salute you Navalny, we will carry on Navalny, you are not gone

Damn shame you have to worry about being arrested for attending a funeral.

The Truth cannot be silenced forever....

They shouted don't only "Navalny", they shouted "Let war stops", "Ukrainians is good peaple", "Peace for all" too.

RIP Alexei - you were taken too soon by a horrible dictator!!!! May the whole world rise up against that dictator and free the Russian people!!!! Obviously that dictator is afraid of what you stood for...

As sad as Alexi death is. This warms my heart to see Russian people stand up in his honor and mourn a true hero. Rest in paradise Alexei❤️you are loved over the world

I m feeling very sad

There is grief, so much grief but don’t forget the anger. This is the emotional fuel that can move mountains.

Everyone’s eyes are opened now. God bless you for risking your lives for truth , love, hope and freedom to live that way.

Several thousands of mourners gathered in Moscow today. The line to the church and later to the cemetery stretched for 2 km. People chanted “We will never forget and will never forgive”, “Russia without Putin”, “No to war”.

He's gone but never forgotten..

Im not afraid you shouldnt be afraid. Rest in peace. Love to his family and friends.

It causes me great pain that a living former President compares his travails to this man. It is obscens . A real patriot is being buried today.

How sad that Navalny's wife and children were not even able to attend his funeral. Despicable that pootin not only took his life but continues to terrorize a grieving family!

Down with Putin!

Спасибо всем людям мира за поддержку. Надеюсь, многим стало понятно, что народ России не сдаётся, стало сложнее, страшнее, но все увидели, что мы разные!

So heartbreaking to lose a good man. RIP

This is a caution for the USA to cherish their democracy and not to allow someone to be leader who believes that he's above the law and has total immunity for any criminal acts while in office. There is a constitutional crisis happening at this time and resilience against demagoguery and hatred is necessary in the USA. Navalny will not be forgotten and his work continues.

By killing him, they made sure Mr. Navalny becomes a martyr. He was a role model and a leader in the fight for justice and for good. He is gone now, but he will never be forgotten! He made the fight against corruption his life's work and this is his legacy. He will always inspire all of us! May he finally rest in peace! Condolences to his family!

Chants we heard in the crowd: LOVE IS STRONGER THAN FEAR NO TO WAR RUSSIA WILL BE FREE ME/WE ARE NAVALNY RUSSIA WITHOUT PUTIN FREEDOM TO POLITICAL PRISONERS WILL NOT FORGET WILL NOT FORGIVE PUTIN IS A KILLER HEROES DON'T DIE LET US MOURN

I would just like to thank all the journalists, cameramen, commenters, writers and everyone involved in the news-business for your hard work, which is often risky and difficult, but brings us information we otherwise wouldn't get. Thanks to all journalists, and STAY SAFE!

Светлая память мученику России Алексею Навальному!

Courageous Mr Navalny friends. They know that Putin has immunity and jails his enemies 😮. Rest in peace courageous Mr Navalny 😭

браво мужественным россиянам... Респект!! Не бросайте

Deepest sympathy and Solidarity from Texas. Prayers for Navalny and his family. Remember Boris Nemtsov 🥀

Я опечален этим, внутри будто образовалась дыра... Мы в России потеряли нашу главную надежду...Не могу еще поверить, что всё это случилось. Просто печально, нечего добавить.

And the Republicans congratulated Putler on a job well done 🤔

Navalny❤

Светлая память Алексею, человеку, вклад которого только предстоит осознать💔😢

I mean keep in mind...he had the chance to stay in exile safe with his family. He choose to go back although knowing what will happen and all the consequences that come with this return to Russia straight into the hands of a dictator. He took that consequence. He paid the highest price for his belive for a better, democratic Russia. What kind of courage a person must have to go down this path of suffering and in the end do the max sacrifice. R.I.P.

Alexei Navalny, FREE AT LAST ❤

The more people are oppressed, the more they become passionate. This is something corrupt and tyranical leaders fail to see throughout history.

R.I.P.

we are not afraid and you should not be afraid !

There will always be more civilians than police, when people unite.

There is hope through all who join the funeral. You are brothers and sisters! ❤❤😊

police against citizens.....yep.....police against criminals....nope.

Светлая память Алексею.

Светлой дороги, Алексей❤ Rest in Glory, The Hero❤

🖤👏👏👏💪🖤 The whole world is sorrow for Alexei Navalny. Sorrow from Brazil.😔😔

He lives in people’s hearts forever around the world ❤.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😔 The World In mourning 😢

I was at that cathedral.very beautiful place.its so sad what Putin is doing to the people of Russia. It's a crying shame someone who supports him is running for POTUS and actually has millions of people supporting him!

Thanks for supporting Navalny's family, keep his legacy alive. May Navalny's soul rest in peace and rise in glory 🙏

God bless the memory of the Honorable Mr. Alexey Navalny, his widow and their family.🙏

"Я не боюсь и вы не бойтесь!"

RIP. You were a gift to this weary world. Thank you.

Мы тебя не забудем, герой! Россия будет счастливой ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Brave People of Light!

A man with so much strength, who faced certain death by standing up against Putin. It seemed that he didn't care so much how much he himself suffered, if it could help his people. I do hope the people know that, how much he loved his country and the people in it. I hope their voices are heard, I hope they are never silenced.

Голос, что говорил правду Сердце, что любило свою землю Ум, что видел будущее Душа, что не согнулась Он сталкивался с темными силами Он страдал за свое дело Он собрал миллионы людей Он бросил вызов несправедливым законам Он заплатил самую высокую цену Он отдал свою жизнь Он оставил великое наследие Он показал нам, как оставаться Навальный, мы помним тебя Навальный, мы приветствуем тебя Навальный, мы продолжим Навальный, ты не ушел

Faced with Russia's nuclear blackmail! Do you still think that the Russian government is not a mafia organization? So we suggest that the Russian government be included in the list of gang organizations!

"Я не боюсь - и вы - не боЙтесь".("I'm not afraid - and you - don't be afraid.")

I think the majority of Russians aware of what's going on in their country but they are afraid to end up like this guy or somewhere in Siberia in some prison camp.

Любим и не забудем

I never thought that this existed in the 21st century, the most barbaric and murderous dictatorship that I know of, where freedom of expression and the right to life are prohibited to anyone who thinks differently, I thought that when I read the history books these episodes were things from past.

May he rest in peace!

I was so saddened by Navalny’s death…. But when I saw his mother standing by his coffin saying her last good bye to her most brave, young, handsome and forever independent son, I broke down in tears…

God does not sleep, vengeance is mine says the Lord

Rest in peace Navalny. You are now free from Russian persecution

Лучший из нас ушел. Прощай, Алексей...😢

It's not only RIGHT & DECENT to support Ukraine but it's in the LONG TERM interest of the USA to support Ukraine! The USA has been at this junction before, back in the 1940s when Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt were trying to educate and convince the USA that Hitler was not only a threat to all of Europe but also a threat to the USA. At least Hitler wasn't making threats to the USA openly (like Putin has) but Hitler was making plans to deal with the USA later!

Brave people at the funeral! Such a sad 😢day & God bless Alexey Navalny.

I heard people scream "no war"

RIP, courageous, principled, irreplaceable Alexey Navalny.

There is a Russian man who left Russia that I follow on U tube. He had lots of various footage taken by people in the crowds on their cell phones. The scope of the brave people attending was massive, especially when you consider many will be jailed/sent to the front lines or have all their property siezed as they are considered an enemy of Russia for attending this. It won't happen durring the funeral as too many eyes are on this. It will happen after. So sad.

Stay strong, the people of Russia! 🇷🇺

Светлая память герою

Every single one of these people is braver than Olaf Scholz (the German leader), I live here in Germany & see him cowering from Putin from afar, what a joke he is ...Slava Ulraine & all other striving democracies worldwide!!

Thank you for not remaining indifferent.

Our sincere condolences to the Navaly Family. Good Bye Alexly R.I.P you've gone. But your legacy will forever live in our hearts 💞 to you with 💕 from México🇲🇽🇲🇽

Forever Rest In Peace Alexei Navalny. You gave the Russian people "HOPE" for that one day they will live "FREE". ✝

It is so disturbing what evil some humans do to other humans . There are eternal consequences ( if not in this lifetime ) for the harm we do to others

Stand up!

Crying

Write in Yulia Navalnaya's name on the ballot in March 2024 elections. ❤

Deepest condolences to his wife and family 💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dissent in Russia now has a face, a name, and a hero. Putin made a serious mistake and it will come back to haunt him.

Mr. Navalny rest in peace God be with you

Он сказал мне сегодня: Не бойтесь терять и приобретёте!

I’m sorry freedom loving people of Russia.

Yes, they have courage -- and many here in the free world worship the friend of the murderer and a want to be dictator himself.

For those who said Alexei didn't have supporters who loved him here is your proof. ❤ Fly High King May your death not be in vain ❤

God bless the mourners who had the courage to come to honor Navalny. May the Lord bless Navalny's family and all those who love him. His spirit will free the people of Russia and people around the world. May the world come together to fight for freedom.

God bless the people of Russia. Hopefully, someday, we all can have peace and all learn to live with all in the world and not have all this hoopla from these world leaders fighting.

The beggining of a revolution.

I'm a Russian citizen who lives in Russia. I thought my major grief was about Navalny who was so brutally murdered in prison. But now looking at all these brave people who were so courageous to come there to say the last good bye to dear Navalny, I can feel a heartache for all of them, staying there in cold, so kind-hearted, so united by common grief, and so so unprotected and helpless from the huger evil that is like a crow flying above and ready to attack an innocent little rabbit.

Incredible Bravery as every single one of these people will be arrested and imprisoned for years..

No inspection of the body for abuse and poison due to free public burial agreement!

Rip

We may never know what happened 🤨

these are the true respected and brave russian citizens, like millions of us. Thank you for aknowledging the situation, it's soothing to hear the right understanding, but when the west will stop being hesitant and finally understand what a crazy lunatic they deal with?
