Two ladies, Kira Yarmysh (lead picture, left) and Maria Pevchikh (2nd left), made up the sequence of lies which in August 2020 claimed that Alexei Navalny had been poisoned with Novichok by a Russian state demise squad – first in a cup of tea he drank at Tomsk Airport; then in a bottle of mineral water which he drank in his lodge room; and at last within the underpants he dressed himself with earlier than the water, earlier than the tea.
As every of those claims proved unfaithful on the general public proof, they and Navalny agreed to the discharge of medical knowledge collected by the group of German docs who handled Navalny after his admission to the Charité Clinic in Berlin on August 22, 2020. However neither knowledge offered within the docs’ publication in The Lancet of December 22, 2020, nor the docs’ report itself proved that Navalny had been poisoned by Novichok. That conclusion got here in press releases from the German army, after which from the Group for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
In accordance to the Berlin docs, “extreme poisoning with a cholinesterase inhibitor was subsequently identified. 2 weeks later, the German Authorities introduced {that a} laboratory of the German armed forces designated by the Group for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had recognized an organophosphorus nerve agent from the Novichok group in blood samples collected instantly after the affected person’s admission to Charité, a discovering that was subsequently confirmed by the OPCW.”
That’s a political commercial, not a medical analysis – no physician has signed his title to both, and no German army officer has signed his title to the primary.
At some point earlier than The Lancet publication, on December 21, Navalny, Pevchikh and Yarmysh revealed their fabrication of the underpants story with the pretend phone name of an FSB agent, Konstantin Kudryavtsev, admitting to Navalny every little thing which had been disproved till that point. The mixture of fabricated proof of the homicide weapon after which of the assassin’s confederate was repeated within the documentary movie which received the Oscar award for documentary movies in March 2023.
Yarmysh was Navalny’s press spokesman in August 2020; she nonetheless is. Pevchikh was the script author for Navalny and the channel to him from Anglo-American authorities brokers, as nicely from Russian financiers in London like Yevgeny Chichvarkin, as soon as the Evroset cell phone magnate.
If the 2 ladies had been telling the reality and Novichok had been in Navalny’s tea, water, or underpants, he would have been lifeless inside minutes of contact. So too would Pevchikh who hand-carried the water bottle from Tomsk to Novosibirsk, then Omsk, and at last Berlin. Navalny’s blood, urine, pores and skin, and hair, clinically examined and reported by the German docs treating him at Charité Clinic, proved his collapse had been attributable to a mix of medicine he had himself consumed.
The 2 ladies, and different members of Navalny’s household, together with his spouse, Yulia Navalnaya, (3rd left) 47, his mom Lyudmila Navalnaya (proper), 69, and his daughter Daria, 23, have all refused to reveal any medical knowledge on his prior medical situations and the medicines he was taking earlier than the August 2020 episode. Navalny himself gave permission to the Charité Clinic docs in Berlin to publish their take a look at leads to The Lancet report, believing they’d corroborate his story.
Following Navalny’s demise on February 16, 2024, there was no launch of the medical knowledge, nor the medicines Navalny was taking on the time of his demise; the file of his vaccinations in opposition to Covid-19 which got to him in Germany; his prior medical situations; or the toxicology and pathology knowledge collected within the autopsy investigations following his demise.
Russian regulation prohibits the discharge of this private info with out the permission of the senior subsequent of kin and executor whom Navalny named in his will. He named his mom, Lyudmila. He didn’t title his spouse, Yulia. His cause for doing that has begun to floor in Moscow. It marks infighting over the political succession to Navalny, and the cash which the US has been offering to the Navalny group.
That heirs struggle over succession rights, belongings and money is commonplace. What has not but been seen in both the Russian or western press reporting is the doc on which probate circumstances begin the world over – the need of the deceased.
The primary signal that an inheritance struggle has begun is that whereas Lyudmila Navalnaya went to Kharp, the place Navalny had been imprisoned, and Salekhard, the place his physique was taken for autopsy testing, Yulia Navalnaya flew to California to fulfill President Joseph Biden. Between the 2 political corpses, some huge cash is at stake.
The Russian statute on burial, Federal Legislation (FZ) No. 8 of 1996, requires a signed will by the deceased to confer authority on a survivor to take custody of the physique and organize burial both in Russia or overseas, in line with the phrases of the need.
That Navalny, a lawyer by coaching, made such a provision in a will is definite, although the contents haven’t been launched publicly.

Extra, Navalny designated his mom, Lyudmila Navalnaya, to take cost as a result of she, it was, who flew to the physique to take cost, current the need and different paperwork required for presentation to the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), to ensure that them to cope with her. This additionally implies that Navalny didn’t choose his spouse, Yulia Navalnaya – or that if he had named her in earlier wills, he had modified his will in favour of his mom earlier than he went into jail isolation. Even there and in secret, Russian regulation supplies that Navalny might have composed a final will which can be accepted in courtroom.
The Russian regulation regulating wills, and the way the FSIN should interpret it within the Navalny case, is the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Articles 1110-1159. Article 1117, titled “Unworthy Heirs”, creates the authorized grounds which Lyudmila Navalnaya and Anatoly Navalny, mom and father, might go to courtroom in opposition to their daughter-in-law if by “deliberate unlawful actions aimed in opposition to the deceased or any of the deceased’s heirs or in opposition to the train of the deceased’s final intentions expressed in a will assisted or tried to help of their being known as upon to inherit or different individuals’ being known as upon to inherit or who tried to help in growing the share of the property they or different individuals are entitled to, if such circumstances have been confirmed in courtroom.”

The contents of Navalny’s final will needn’t have been disclosed to his spouse, his kids, his associates, or his group’s legal professionals. The secrecy of its contents is absolute in Russian regulation, in line with Article 1123.
In Article 1129 the regulation additionally supplies that “in a state of affairs that clearly threatens his/her life and who, by the advantage of prevailing extraordinary circumstances, is disadvantaged of a possibility to create a will underneath the principles of Articles 1124 – 1128 of the current Code might make his/her final needs as to the disposition of his/her property in a easy written type. A citizen’s final needs set out in easy written type shall be deemed his/her will, if the testator has written a doc in his/her personal hand within the presence of two witnesses the content material whereof evidences that it’s a will.”
The powers of the executor over belongings, cash, and different inheritance are appreciable underneath this regulation; if there had been an earlier inheritance contract between Navalny and Yulia, his spouse, Lyudmila’s powers, being extra lately attested, would cancel it.
Final week an audio tape, alleged to be Lyudmila Navalnaya making a number of criticisms of Yulia Navalnaya started to flow into. The tape seems to have been a fabrication out of fragments of Lyudmila’s voice from genuine videotapes she had made days earlier. Whether or not or not there was a critical falling-out between Navalny and his spouse has been speculated about earlier than within the Russian social media; whether or not this has now changed into acrimony and authorized argument over inheritance, together with custody of Navalny’s physique and the place and preparations of his funeral, is unknown.
What is definite is that spokesman Yarmysh has acknowledged that as of Saturday night final, there was no settlement among the many household, heirs and group, so “the funeral continues to be pending”.

Omitted from this Yarmysh assertion, and likewise within the mom’s statements, is any repetition of earlier claims from the group and from the spouse that Navalny had been murdered, both by poison, beating, torture, or different strategies ordered by the Kremlin. The proof for these claims has vanished. The spouse’s final declare, that President Vladimir Putin was “holding the physique hostage, mocking his mom”, was a lie.
Actually, what was taking place adopted exactly the phrases and deadlines of the regulation on burial and in the usual autopsy follow for circumstances of demise by pure causes and suspicious demise, as these phrases are utilized in Anglo-American coronial regulation. Once more, click on on FZ 8.
Chapter II, Article 7 units a restrict of time for launch of the physique from the morgue. “It’s assured: 1) the issuance of paperwork mandatory for the burial of the deceased, inside 24 hours from the second of figuring out the reason for demise; in circumstances the place to determine the reason for demise, there have been grounds for putting the physique of the deceased within the morgue, issuing the physique of the deceased on the request of a partner, shut kin, different kin, authorized a consultant of the deceased or one other one that has assumed the duty to hold out the burial of the deceased, will not be delayed for greater than two days from the second the reason for demise is established.” When Yulia Navalnaya broadcast her lie, simply someday had elapsed since Lyudmila confirmed she had been proven the official demise certificates. On the subsequent day, inside the statutory time restrict of two days, the physique was formally launched. Nevertheless, Lyudmila Navalnaya has not made public the demise certificates accompanying the physique, nor the autopsy report containing extra particulars.
What particulars have to be included within the report have been confirmed by a paper issued by the US Embassy’s present “Disposition of Stays Report” for Russia.

“In accordance with Russian regulation, an post-mortem is required if prison circumstances are suspected. Autopsies are carried out solely by state pathologists…Usually an post-mortem have to be carried out with a view to record a selected explanation for demise on the medical demise file. An post-mortem could also be waived upon request of the next-of-kin if the police don’t suspect a prison explanation for demise. Russian authorities require a letter from the Embassy both relaying the kin’ permission for or objection to an post-mortem. Objection to an post-mortem causes the Russian authorities concerned to spend as much as three further days finishing the required paperwork. The following-of-kin often should wait two months to obtain full post-mortem outcomes.”
In different phrases, the dealing with of Navalny’s demise and his corpse not solely adopted the federal regulation, but it surely was performed in line with the e book – the US Embassy’s e book.
Every part alleged by Yulia Navalnaya earlier than and following her assembly with Biden is a lie. So was Biden’s transient assertion to the press by which he repeated that Putin was “accountable” for Navalny’s demise. This declare was not repeated within the official White Home “read-out” of the San Francisco lodge assembly.

Talking for the Ukrainian authorities and secret providers, Kirill Budanov, head of army intelligence service (GUR) in Kiev, introduced on February 25: “I’ll disappoint you, however what we all know is that he actually died from a blood clot. And this is kind of confirmed. It’s not taken from the web, however sadly it’s a pure [death].” A Budanov assertion of the reality is outstanding; it was supposed as a political strike in opposition to the White Home.
After broadcasting Navalnaya’s claims that Navalny had been murdered on Putin’s orders, the BBC has deleted its report.
In its February 22-24 publications, the BBC reported that “Yulia Navalnaya has claimed [URL link] that he was killed on the orders of Mr Putin”. Nevertheless, the hyperlink now not works — the state propaganda platform has deleted all prior publications, together with the Wayback Machine archive.
For the reason that Navalnyites, together with the mom, have accused state officers of “torturing” Navalny (that means post-mortem), and threatening to let his physique “rot” (that means not embalm the corpse), the US Embassy report and recommendation to US residents in Russia explains in any other case: “Embalming: There aren’t any necessities for embalming if the stays can be buried regionally. Embalming amenities exist in massive cities within the consular district. Preparation and air cargo of stays is carried out in accordance with the legal guidelines and amenities accessible in Russia, and, most often, the providers fall wanting these anticipated in the USA.”
In different phrases, embalming can’t be achieved earlier than completion of the post-mortem, toxicology, and different autopsy investigations have been accomplished. After that, and after the issuance of the demise certificates and launch of the physique, the choice on embalming is as much as Navalny’s mom as his executor. This in flip will depend on the funeral preparations and the cemetery location which she should additionally resolve.
In line with her, in a videotape recording she made and the BBC authenticated on February 21, she learn out the script of an enchantment to Putin. The BBC report stated: “The household have been advised his physique is not going to be launched for 2 weeks. His mom was knowledgeable it was being held for ‘chemical evaluation’, a consultant for Navalny stated. There was no affirmation of the whereabouts of the physique from Russian authorities, whereas efforts to find it have been repeatedly shut down.Yulia Navalnaya has alleged her husband’s physique was being saved till traces of poisoning by the nerve agent Novichok had disappeared.”

By British coronial courtroom requirements, the time required for autopsy pathology and toxicology, particularly when uncommon poisons are suspected, can take a number of months; within the case of Daybreak Sturgess, allegedly killed by Novichok in mid-2018, two state post-mortems have been carried out, and the ultimate explanation for demise report delayed for 4 months. Launch of the physique to the household for funeral preparations took 22 days.
By the homicidal poisoning commonplace which Navalny alive, and his heirs after his demise, have set for the western media to repeat, the Russian autopsy investigation of the reason for demise, and the discharge of the physique for funeral, have taken simply seven days; that is one-third of the time which the British state organs took within the Sturgess case. The demise certificates in her case stays a state secret; particulars have been inadvertently leaked throughout an inquest listening to after a delay of three years.
Lyudmila Navalnaya has now acknowledged that she has “seen” the demise certificates on February 21 There are additionally stories that on the subsequent day, February 22, after spending “virtually a day alone with [state] investigators and criminologists”, she signed to obtain the demise certificates; together with that there have been different paperwork required for her to contact undertaker, church, cemetery, and make flight preparations if the physique is to be flown from Salekhard to a different location in Russia for burial. It’s not but clear if she has additionally been given a duplicate of the autopsy papers, together with the post-mortem findings; blood and urine toxicology; and the scan or different photographs exhibiting blood pooling (haemorrhage) and vessel harm within the coronary heart, mind, and lungs.
For causes of her personal, Lyudmila Navalnaya isn’t revealing the proof of explanation for demise she is aware of, and is now not disputing — not solely the official certification of explanation for demise, but additionally the scan and different organ photographs which go away little doubt – aside from Yulia Navalnaya and President Biden.

As for the reporting of bruising, torture, convulsions, and different allegations of explanation for demise accidents, revealed by Russian opposition media overseas, these have turned out to be proof of normal resuscitation strategies, which have been tried by ambulance medics over thirty minutes, however which failed.

In different phrases, in a provincial medical centre on the Arctic Circle, Lyudmila Navalnaya has accepted the proof of the reason for Navalny’s demise which Biden, Yulia Navalnaya and the Anglo-American propaganda organs refuse to just accept, repeating allegations they know to be false.
Within the Russian media, there are allegations in circulation which counsel motives on Yulia Navalnaya’s half which will not be shared by the opposite ladies within the Navalny group. Cash is the primary of them.
An audiotape, fabricated for 90 seconds from segments of Lyudmila’s voice in genuine recordings, has alleged that the mom has accused the daughter-in-law of failing to go to Navalny in jail for 2 years; of failing to have conjugal and marital relations with him for 3 years; of arranging for Navalny’s belongings to be transferred to her title; and of inflicting an inheritance battle between Navalny’s teenage son Zakhar and older daughter Daria.
Russian media investigations have established that the tape is a pretend; that it was launched on a number of Telegram channels on February 22, after which went viral within the native social media.
That is the primary investigation of the tape substantiating it was faked, revealed on February 23 — 24 hours after the tape started to flow into.
Nevertheless, the substance of the actual allegations could also be verifiably true. “It’s attainable that this correspondence, albeit a pretend communication, will develop into an actual and public one,” an editorial author has reported in Tsargrad. “Lyudmila Navalnaya’s alleged enchantment to her daughter-in-law has been viral on the internet. After a few hours, it turned clear that it was not real. Nonetheless, many individuals believed it. The reason being easy – it lists information which Navalny’s widow herself has nothing to refute.” The headline of the Tsargrad story is: “The enchantment of Navalny’s mom to Yulia Navalnaya is pretend. It didn’t turn out to be true for just one cause.” Illustrating the textual content, Tsargrad has revealed photos of the household and of Yulia Navalnaya with the London exile and Evroset billionaire, Yevgeny Chichvarkin. Chichvarkin’s function as a financier of the Navalny operations is well-known; so was his go to to Navalny in Germany, when Chichvarkin was accompanied by his associate.

To this point, the general public relations roles performed within the Navalny group by the 4 ladies have obscured the 2 males within the household – the daddy, Anatoly Navalny, 77, a retired Soviet Navy officer and small businessman; and son, Zakhar, 16. No assertion has been recorded from both of them since Navalny’s demise.
Left, father, Anatoly Navalny; proper, son, Zakhar Navalny.
Now that Lyudmila Navalnaya seems to have accepted the primary or proximate explanation for demise to have been an embolism putting the guts, this leaves undisclosed by the Navalny household what the second, intervening or contributory explanation for demise was; this consists of biochemical elements, together with pharmaceuticals in deadly mixture or the Pfizer mRNA anti-Covid vaccinations Navalny acquired in Germany, earlier than his return to Russia.
If there may be now a struggle over the inheritance between the relations and members of the group, it isn’t possible that these secrets and techniques will leak into the Russian press until the inheritance struggle goes to courtroom.
A well-connected Moscow political supply speculates that due to his lithium and benzodiazepine drug behavior, “Navalny was advised in Berlin that [if he continued] he ought to anticipate a repeat of his episode and that subsequent time it is likely to be terminal. Then got here the Covid vaccination issue. My perception is that he got here to Russia understanding he may die, and that the succession was deliberate. This doesn’t imply Alexei and Yulia knew when he was going to die or have an episode. Clearly if there had been one other episode and he survived, there would have been extra political mileage and worldwide strain to launch him from jail. However this time it didn’t work.”
