The funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, who recently died in prison, is scheduled for Friday in Moscow. This announcement comes amid claims from his allies that authorities were attempting to disrupt the funeral arrangements. The event is set to occur one day after President Putin’s annual address to the Federal Assembly, with the turnout potentially signaling the extent of opposition to Putin’s regime as he approaches the March 17 election, which could extend his rule by another six years.
