Encyclopedic overview

Yulia Borisovna Navalnaya (née Abrosimova; Russian: Юлия Борисовна Навальная, née Абросимова, IPA: [ˈjʉlʲɪjə nɐˈvalʲnəjə]; born 24 July 1976) is a Russian political activist and economist. The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, she has been described in media as the "first lady" of the Russian opposition. After her husband's death, Navalnaya announced that she would continue his work, while naming herself as another leader of the Russian opposition in exile, when she fled Russia in March 2021, after the Russian government's crackdown on protesters following Navalny's arrest and imprisonment. As of 1 July 2024, she has been serving as the chairperson of the Human Rights Foundation, while also heading the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which her late husband, Alexei Navalny, had founded in 2011.
