Navalny ally urges Russians to join election day protest in his memory, drawing Kremlin ire

A prominent associate of the late opposition figure in Russia, Alexei Navalny, urged Russians on Tuesday to participate in a significant protest on election day against President Vladimir Putin next month. Navalny had originally called for this protest shortly before his passing. Navalny's call to action was issued via social media on February 1, urging Russians to demonstrate their discontent by collectively casting their votes at noon on March 17. His recent demise in an Arctic penal colony on February 16 has intensified the spotlight on his legacy and the ongoing struggle for political reform in Russia. #AlexeiNavalny #ElectionDayProtest #NavalnyAlly #RussianProtest #PoliticalActivism #NavalnyLegacy #ResistanceMovement #PutinRegime #DemocracyStruggle #NavalnyMemory #RussiaPolitics #PoliticalOpposition #ActivismInAction #PutinCriticism #NavalnyInfluence #ProtestMovement #PoliticalChange #RememberingNavalny #SolidarityWithNavalny #DemocraticRights ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~
