Yulia Navalnaya’s Inspiring Speech at HSG Symposium: Embracing Change and Carrying on Her Husband’s Legacy

In St. Gallen, Switzerland, the Russian opposition leader’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, made her mark at the 53rd HSG symposium. She spoke with a gentle yet determined tone, emphasizing that she must make her own decisions without constantly worrying about what her husband would do. Despite the seriousness of her life circumstances and being surrounded by high-profile individuals, Navalnaya stood out with her simplicity in a blue suit and understated makeup.

Since Alexei’s untimely death at the Munich Security Conference, Navalnaya has gradually assumed his role as an advocate for change in Russia and challenging the existing political regime. Her appearance in St. Gallen reflects her unwavering commitment to the cause and recognition as one of Time Magazine’s hundred most influential people. Her refusal to dwell on fears or doubts underscores her clarity of purpose and determination to continue the fight that her husband started.
