On March 1 in Moscow, the city bid farewell to Alexei Navalny in a funeral attended by thousands. In preparation, the day prior saw Moscow police setting up metal barriers and deploying hundreds of officers around Maryino, the district in southeastern Moscow where Navalny lived. The memorial service, held in the Church of the Icon of Our Lady Soothe My Sorrows, concluded in under 20 minutes. Only family members were permitted near the coffin. It wasn’t until after Navalny’s body was buried that the police allowed the public to approach and pay their respects. Long lines formed, stretching for several hundred meters towards the church and Borisovsky cemetery, as mourners made their way through Maryino and across the bridge, chanting “Freedom to political prisoners,” “No to war,” “Navalny is Russia’s hero.” This is an account of how Moscow commemorated Alexei Navalny’s passing.
