Yulia Navalnya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, said Monday that she will continue her husband’s fight for a free Russia and called on his supporters to fight President Vladimir Putin with more anger than ever before.

Navalny’s death deprives Russia’s contrasting opposition of its most charismatic and courageous leader, while Putin prepares for elections that will keep him in power until at least 2030.

In an outrageous nine-minute video message, Navalnaya, 47, said Putin killed her husband and deprived her father’s husband and two children.

But she said the only response to such a crime is to continue her late husband’s fight for a free and prosperous Russia. She said Russians wanted to live different lives, even if there was no hope.

“I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny,” Navalny said in a video message titled “I want to live in a free Russia, I want to build a free Russia.”

She said, “I urge you to stand beside me.” “I ask you to share your anger with me.” Anger, rage and hatred towards those who dared to kill our future.”

Navalnya accused Russian authorities of hiding Navalny’s body and waiting for Novichuk’s nerve gas to disappear from his body.

‘Vladimir Putin killed my husband,’ said Navalnaia. “By killing Alexi, Putin killed half me, half my heart and half my soul.”

Hostess” but I still have the other half, and that tells me I have no right to give up. “I will continue to work Alexi Navalny, and I will continue to fight for our country.”

The Kremlin has denied involvement in his death, saying Western claims that Putin is responsible for the death are unacceptable. Putin warned there would be a strong response if foreign forces tried to meddle in Russian elections.

Navalny, 47, fainted and died suddenly Friday after a picnic at the Polar Wolf Penal Colony in the Arctic where he was serving a three-decade prison sentence, the prison administration said.

The investigation into his death is ongoing, the Kremlin said Monday.

The new leader of the opposition?

Navalnya has always supported her husband in his battles with Russian authorities, attending his numerous hearings, standing by his side in rallies and awaiting his release from many prison sentences.

“The main thing we can do for Alexi and for ourselves is to keep fighting,” she said in her video message. More desperate and more ferocious than ever.”

“I know it seems like that’s no longer possible but we need more to gather everyone together in one strong grip and strike this insane regime Putin, his friends, the bandits in military uniform, the thieves and murderers who have paralyzed our country.”

Navalny rose to the forefront more than a decade ago by documenting and ridiculing what he described as pervasive corruption and abomination by the “scammers and thieves” who run Russia.

“We know exactly why Putin killed Alexey three days ago,” Navalnaia said. “We’ll let you know soon.” We will definitely find out who exactly committed the crime and how. “We will mention names and show faces.”
