Alexey Navalny, Putin's most prominent critic, commented on US politics months before his death.
Navalny expressed concern over a potential second Trump term in letters to a friend.
Trump briefly mentioned Navalny's death in a Truth Social post on Monday.

Alexey Navalny, the dissident and political nemesis of Russian President Vladimir Putin, spent the last few years of his life behind bars but still managed to stay connected to the outside world.
