The American magazine Time published a short list of candidates for the title of person of 2024. Among them was Yulia, the widow of the fallen Russian opposition leader Oleksiy Navalny.
Time called Navalna the "first lady" of the Russian opposition.
"Russian economist Yulia Navalny has been in the spotlight this year after her husband and the country's opposition leader Oleksiy Navalny died in February. After the death of her husband in prison, Navalny said that she would continue his work. She has accused Vladimir Putin of murdering her husband and met with world leaders, including Biden, as Russia continues its war in Ukraine. Navalna, who is called the "first lady" of the Russian opposition, was also included in the list of the 100 most influential people of 2024 by Time," the magazine writes.
Also on the magazine's list are US Vice President Kamala Harris, US President-elect Donald Trump, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, billionaire Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, podcaster Joe Rogan, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum , Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
We will remind that the Basmanny District Court of Moscow arrested Yulia Navalna in absentia. The case against her was initiated under the article on participation in an extremist community.
