Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has revealed in an interview with TIME magazine that she has hired a bodyguard following the recent hammer attack on an associate of her late husband.
It is recalled that Leonid Volkov was attacked with a hammer outside his home in Vilnius, Lithuania last month, resulting in serious injuries. He had directly accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being responsible for Navalny’s death in prison on February 16.
For its part, Lithuania’s counterintelligence service accused Russian intelligence services of being behind the attack on Volkov.
Yulia Navalnaya, who left Russia in 2021 after her husband was arrested, said the incident prompted her to increase her personal security measures. “To be honest, I don’t like walking around with a bodyguard,” he said.
“Alexei and I never had a bodyguard. I think I inherited some of his courage… But when one is too proud, one can fall into mistakes. So, at the moment, my partners asked me to move around accompanied by a bodyguard,” said Navalny’s widow.
After her husband’s death in an Arctic Circle penal colony, Yulia Navalnaya vowed to continue her fight against Putin. The Kremlin has strongly denied accusations that President Vladimir Putin was responsible for Navalny’s death. The death certificate states that he died of natural causes at the age of 47.
