Russian opposition figure Yulia Navalny, widow of the late Alexei Navalny, called on supporters on Sunday to fight for a "free, peaceful" Russia, a year after her husband's death in prison.
"We know why we are fighting: for a future Russia that is free, peaceful and beautiful. The one that Alexei dreamed of is possible, do everything to make his dream come true," Navalny said in a video released on the anniversary of the death of her husband, who was the main political opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Navalny has taken a leading role in the fragmented and largely exiled Russian opposition.
He was scheduled to attend a commemorative event in Berlin on Sunday.
"Everyone can do something: protest, write to political prisoners, change the minds of loved ones, provide support to others," she said.
"Alexey inspires people all over the world. They understand that our country is not just war, corruption and oppression."
Navalnya accused Putin of trying to "erase our memory of Alexei's name, hide the truth about his murder and force us to give up."
Russian authorities have declared Navalny an "extremist," a decision that remains in effect despite his death.
In Russia, anyone who mentions Navalny or his Anti-Corruption Foundation without saying they have been declared "extremists" is subject to fines or up to four years in prison for repeat offenses.
