Navalny's Widow Emerges as Potential New Face of Russian Opposition
-
Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, has emerged as a potential new opposition leader after his death, vowing to continue his fight against Putin's regime.
-
Navalnaya directly accused Putin of killing her husband and said "I don't have the right to give up."
-
Some see Navalnaya as a unifying figure for the beleaguered Russian opposition, given her symbolic status as Navalny's widow.
-
However, living in exile, Navalnaya may struggle to influence politics inside Russia like opposition figures in Belarus.
-
Navalny and Navalnaya had a very public, affectionate partnership that stood in contrast to Putin's hidden personal life.
