Russia is twisting the knife after Navalny's sudden death

• Alexey Navalny's mother claims Russia is blackmailing her with his burial conditions.
• Navalny's death and subsequent treatment are seen as displays of performative cruelty.
• World leaders, including President Biden, hold Putin responsible.

The mother of late Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny claims that the Kremlin will "do something to his body" unless she agrees to bury him in a secret funeral.

Navalny, who was Vladimir Putin's longtime political nemesis, died suddenly in an Arctic penal colony last week at the age of 47.
