1:22Now PlayingAlexei Navalny’s body seen in coffin as thousands defy Putin to honor opposition leader
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe body of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was buried in Moscow on Friday to the defiant refrain of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” — as thousands challenged President Vladimir Putin by paying their final respects to his fiercest critic.
Video from the Barisovskoye cemetery showed the 47-year-old dissident’s mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, clad in a black scarf, making the sign of the cross over her dead son’s body and his father, Anatoly, kissing him on the brow.
Navalny was then draped in a white shroud before the lid of the coffin was shut and it was lowered into the ground to the sounds of Sinatra’s iconic 1968 song about having cut his own path in life, followed by a selection from the soundtrack of “Terminator 2,” which was the politician’s favorite movie.
Crowds of mourners, many carrying flowers, waited outside the cemetery to bid farewell to Navalny while chanting his name.
