Navalny died in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/02\/17\/world\/europe\/navalny-health-prison-death.html?searchResultPosition=1\" title=\"\">a Russian prison<\/a> above the Arctic Circle, Konstantin A. Kotov woke up to find his Moscow apartment under siege.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After breaking down the door, Russian officers set about confiscating everything to do with Mr. Navalny, down to a campaign button from the activist\u2019s 2018 presidential run and a book written by his brother. Then, they arrested Mr. Kotov and took him away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His alleged crime: donating approximately $30 three years earlier to Mr. Navalny\u2019s Anti-Corruption Fund, which the Kremlin considers an extremist group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The death one year ago of Mr. Navalny, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/12\/11\/world\/europe\/thousands-protest-in-moscow-russia-in-defiance-of-putin.html\" title=\"\">who once led tens of thousands of Russians against the Kremlin on the streets of Moscow<\/a>, dealt a serious blow to Russia\u2019s already <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/16\/world\/europe\/navalny-russia-opposition-divided.html\" title=\"\">beleaguered opposition<\/a>. Much of that movement has fled abroad amid a crackdown on dissent that began before President Vladimir V. Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but escalated with the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even with Mr. Navalny dead and his movement in tatters, the authorities have been going after people with links to him and his organization inside Russia. Some see the continued prosecutions as a repressive Russian machine operating on autopilot. Others see a Moscow that views the opposition figure\u2019s legacy as an enduring threat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey seem to be doing it more out of habit, rather than as a new campaign,\u201d said Sergei S. Smirnov, the editor in chief of the exiled media outlet Mediazona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But there are also senior officers in the F.S.B., Russia\u2019s domestic intelligence service, who see themselves as strangling a political underground that presents the same risk to the Kremlin that the Bolsheviks posed before Russia\u2019s monarchy was toppled in 1917, said Andrei Soldatov, a Russian author and expert on the security establishment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe comparison to the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution is embedded in those people\u2019s heads,\u201d Mr. Soldatov said by phone from London. \u201cCzarist Russia crumbled because of a big war and a major political party operating underground.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities have focused on a wide range of targets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year, they went after journalists who remained in Russia and continued to cover Mr. Navalny\u2019s ordeal, accusing them of cooperating with his organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Antonina Favorskaya, a reporter for the Sota Vision media outlet, was arrested last March on charges of \u201cparticipating in an extremist organization.\u201d She was accused of filming footage later used by Mr. Navalny\u2019s associates on their media platforms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A rare reporter to attend court hearings for Mr. Navalny shortly before his death, Ms. Favorskaya <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sotavisionmedia\/25543\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">shot<\/a> the last known video of him addressing the court via a video link from his Arctic prison colony the day before he died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russian authorities later arrested three more journalists and put them all on trial together. Artyom Kriger, one of the defendants, said he and others stood accused of filming interviews on the street in Russia for Mr. Navalny\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There has yet to be a verdict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Moscow also pursued charges against Mr. Navalny\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A court some 80 miles east of Moscow last month <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/17\/world\/europe\/navalny-lawyers-sentenced-russia.html\" title=\"\">sentenced<\/a> three lawyers for Mr. Navalny to as much as five and a half years in prison for passing correspondence from the incarcerated politician to his allies. The court ruled that it was tantamount to \u201cparticipating\u201d in Mr. Navalny\u2019s illegal movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Navalny\u2019s lawyers insisted they were being tried for routine legal work that includes passing on communications on behalf of imprisoned clients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cases seeking to punish ordinary Russians for making donations to Mr. Navalny\u2019s team, some of them as paltry as $3, have also cropped up in courts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russian authorities have prosecuted at least 15 people on charges of funding an extremist organization for sending donations to Mr. Navalny\u2019s Anti-Corruption Fund. In the past few months, local media reported such charges against a physician from Biysk, an IT engineer from a St. Petersburg suburb and a political activist from Ufa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese are simply people who maybe just transferred 500 rubles a long time ago to the Anti-Corruption Fund,\u201d Mr. Kotov, a wiry 39-year-old activist who works for a human rights organization, said, referring to a sum that is a little over $5. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By the time a donation case was opened against him, Mr. Kotov had long been on the radar of Russian authorities for rallying against Kremlin abuses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2019, he was one of the first people to be arrested under a new Russian law restricting freedom of assembly at \u201cunsanctioned protests.\u201d (The law laid the groundwork for a near total protest ban that later helped pacify wartime Russia.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He spent 18 months in prison, most of it at a harsh facility in Russia\u2019s Vladimir region, about 60 miles east of Moscow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shortly after Mr. Kotov\u2019s release, Mr. Navalny returned to Russia, having recovered abroad in Germany from <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/09\/17\/world\/europe\/aleksei-navalny-poisoning-water-bottle-russia.html\" title=\"\">a near-fatal poisoning<\/a>. Within weeks, Mr. Navalny would end up in the same prison where Mr. Kotov had been jailed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That year, a Russian court outlawed and liquidated Mr. Navalny\u2019s Anti-Corruption Fund, labeling it extremist. The ruling criminalized fund-raising from ordinary Russians that for years had kept the group afloat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Navalny\u2019s top aides took to YouTube and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ynyeletJwsM\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">made an urgent plea<\/a> for donations to keep the organization alive, saying they had worked out a secure system for supporters to transfer funds to a bank account outside Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kotov saw how Mr. Navalny had landed in the same prison where he had suffered, and felt a personal connection. He signed up to give a 500 ruble donation per month, believing the new platform was secure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was my gesture to show that I didn\u2019t agree with the liquidation of the Anti-Corruption Fund and that I supported Aleksei Navalny, who was in prison,\u201d Mr. Kotov said. \u201cI wanted his activities to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Half a year later, in January 2022, Mr. Kotov got nervous and stopped the donations. But by then, it was too late. Some of the transactions had revealed the Anti-Corruption Fund\u2019s foreign bank information to Russian authorities by including a reference to the group\u2019s name in the transfer data. The donations had not been secure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The following month, Mr. Putin invaded Ukraine, prompting Mr. Kotov to go out in the streets of Moscow and protest the war. He was quickly arrested and spent the next month in jail. Two and a half years later, the authorities came to his apartment and arrested him for the six 500 ruble donations he made to the Mr. Navalny\u2019s fund. He pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A court released him under house arrest. At first, he thought he would stay in Russia. Other donors charged with the same crime had gotten away with fines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But then, in December, a court in Moscow <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/moscowcourts\/5570\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">found<\/a> Ivan S. Tishchenko, a 46-year-old heart surgeon, guilty for sending 3,500 rubles in donations to Mr. Navalny\u2019s foundation. His sentence: four years in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Tishchenko had subscribed to recurring donations to the Anti-Corruption Fund well before Russian authorities outlawed it as extremist in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Tishchenko\u2019s lawyer, Natalya Tikhonova, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.ru\/politics\/24\/12\/2024\/676ae45b9a79473aa5f787c3\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> the verdict as \u201ctoo harsh for a person who saved thousands of lives and definitely never intended to cause any harm to Russia\u2019s constitutional order.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kotov, wary of a return to Russian prison, fled to Lithuania this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an interview from there, Mr. Kotov described how Mr. Navalny had represented hope \u201cthat Putin isn\u2019t immortal, that at some point this regime will come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAleksei Navalny was the symbol of a beautiful Russia of the future, a happy Russia of the future,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen that symbol was gone, I started to feel much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut we\u2019re still living,\u201d he added. \u201cWe can\u2019t give up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/15\/world\/europe\/navalny-russia-death.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six months after the opposition leader Aleksei A.
