The activist and political prisoner's death came just months after his daughter Dasha vowed she would never stop fighting for him.
The great critic of the Kremlin, Alexei Navalny, was reported to have passed away a few days ago, leaving behind his wife and two children.
The activist and political prisoner's death came just months after his daughter Dasha vowed she would never stop fighting for him.
Dasha Navalnaya is the daughter of Alexei Navalny and Yulia Navalnay born in 2001 and being succeeded by her brother Zakhar in 2008. Dasha began studying psychology at Stanford University, California, in 2019. In 2021, she accepted the award ' Sakharov' of the European Parliament on behalf of her father. She has become a social media influencer and, like her father, an activist.
She has participated in a series of interviews where she has discussed her hopes for the future of Russia. Dasha has spoken several times about her father and his campaigns against corruption in Russia.
"I talked to my parents and I learned that even if we don't like the police, dad is doing the right thing...I've always been proud of that," she declared some time ago.
In 2023, Daria participated in an interview on CNN where she talked about her father and the Russian war in Ukraine. Speaking to journalist Erin Burnett, she said she would not stop fighting until Putin ended the war and released her father and other political prisoners in the country. Dasha revealed how she and her brother would 'play a game' trying to avoid spies while traveling on public transport.
"We'd look around the train, and then we'd start talking to the guy who had the worst camouflage outfit and the black hat and the weird bag with the straps on the side, and we'd jump off, not the train, but the subway car." , she said.
In a 2021 interview with Spiegel, Daria revealed that, until the age of 10, her childhood had actually been normal. It was only after her father was taken into custody in 2011 that things began to change. Alexei was arrested on 5 December 2011 and sentenced to 15 days in prison "for defying a government official".
"I have always been proud of it, even with the fear for his life and ours. He wants the best for his country. He wants my brother and I to have a good future in this country," said Dasha.
In the same interview, Daria revealed how she shares many similarities with her father.
"I have always taken after my father, I talk like him and move like him. My mother often scolded me for this. She didn't want me to adopt his mannerisms. I should have been more feminine," she said.
We recall that Alexei Navalny was sentenced to 19 years in prison in August 2023. He was found guilty of creating an extremist community and financing extremist activists, among other crimes, according to Moscow. Meanwhile, only a few days ago it was said that he had passed away.
