As we predicted, Navalny’s grave on the third day became no longer a place of farewell, but a place of provocations. For two days everything was calm, the police gave everyone who came to the Borisov cemetery the opportunity to say goodbye to Alexei. But there were citizens who did not come for this at all. Just yesterday they were not there yet - at 17.00 the cemetery closed as usual. But today everything suddenly changed. Today people came out of the cemetery and began to openly provoke the police. Of course, they don’t need Navalny, but a spectacular photo shoot with graves and hand-wringing, videos with vinyl, which can be sold at a high price to the West. This is the last opportunity to report for grants and subsidies, so that you can live in pleasure later. Only now the petitioners are asking each for themselves from different countries. Yulia Navalnaya - for herself, Lyuba Sobol - for herself, Lenya Volkov - for herself. Every man for himself - understandable. And provocateur
Context by Compass
The claim that Alexei Navalny's grave became a site of provocations and that individuals were using the situation for personal gain through grants and subsidies lacks substantial evidence. Reports indicate that hundreds of people visited Navalny's grave to pay their respects, with no mention of provocations or financial motivations (Radio Free Europe, Barron's). The funeral and subsequent visits to the grave were marked by a significant police presence and arrests, suggesting that the gatherings were more about mourning than provocation (Radio Free Europe). Furthermore, there is no evidence to support the claim that Yulia Navalnaya, Lyuba Sobol, or Lenya Volkov were seeking grants or subsidies for personal gain in the context of Navalny's death. Coverage of Yulia Navalnaya post-Navalny's death focuses on her demands for justice and her role as a potential new opposition figurehead, with no mention of personal financial gain (Rolling Stone, Forbes).
