Alexei Navalny's demise leaves despair and apathy in Moscow

Flowers and candles laid in Moscow to pay tribute to Alexei Navalny, the prominent opposition figure in Russia, were removed overnight. Russia's prison service reported that Navalny, aged 47, lost consciousness and passed away on Friday following a stroll at the Arctic penal colony referred to as the 'Polar Wolf.' Navalny's spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh, validated his demise on Saturday, citing an official notification received by his mother, Lyudmila.
