Removing makeshift memorials feels like such a petty thing to do. It greatly undermines the official line of Navalny’s death having no political relevance
Plainclothes individuals have been removing makeshift memorials set up in cities across Russia to commemorate the life of Alexey Navalny, the Russian opposition politician who died in prison on Friday. New ones keep appearing.

Another sad news on this very bad day. Dmitry Markov, a master of photography, a chronicler of the Russian daily life, died today. One of his world-famous pieces was a symbolic photo from a Russian court room.

I feel deeply saddened by Navalny’s death. He could have changed Russia’s future for the better. But instead the Putin’s regime prevails.

An interesting take on possible outcomes of the war - the consensus is that Putin won’t give up
The risks of a long war could have been avoided if Western policy since Russia’s full-scale invasion had been to help Ukraine win.
A long war works against Ukraine – and the West’s own security
A protracted conflict works in Russia’s favour. But there is a clear path to bringing it to an early end.
