Remembering Aleksei Navalny's Last Months Of Freedom In Germany
- By Current Time
A year after Aleksei Navalny's death in a Russian prison, his friends are marking the anniversary by remembering the Kremlin critic's courage and strength. One of them is Bjorn Leber. The trainer helped Navalny recover in Germany after a near-fatal poisoning in 2020 and recalls his determination to continue his fight against the Putin regime. German photographer Jens Koch caught poignant pictures of Navalny in the last five months of his freedom before his return to Russia, where he was immediately arrested. Navalny would remain behind bars until his death in an Arctic prison in 2024.
