The wife of the Russian opposition leader, Julija Navalnaya, receives news of her husband’s suspected death at the security conference in Munich – and makes a remarkable appearance.
Julija Navalnaya is a tall woman. Even before that day, she was always seen with her back arched and her chin held high. She is an ambassador in her own right, a human rights activist, a symbol of Russian injustice – the injustice that was done to her husband, Alexei Navalny. Julija Navalnaya is in Munich these days like virtually the entire celebrity of the Russian exile scene. During the security conference, she completes appointments every hour – on her own behalf, for the life of her husband.
