Opposition Leader and Navalny's Widow
Appears in 1 story
Chairperson of Human Rights Foundation; heads Anti-Corruption Foundation
Alexei Navalny survived one poisoning attempt with a military-grade nerve agent in August 2020. He did not survive the second. On the two-year anniversary of his death in an Arctic prison, five European nations announced laboratory confirmation that Russian authorities killed him with epibatidine—a toxin found in South American poison dart frogs that does not exist naturally anywhere in Russia. The coordinated announcement at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2026, marks the first formal attribution of Navalny's death to the Russian state, backed by forensic evidence from tissue samples covertly obtained and smuggled out of Russia.
