Rede zum Exil von Julija Nawalnaja

In the organizer's words:

She would never give up on Russia, said Yulia Navalny when asked why she continues to put herself in danger even after the death of her husband.

This is not the first time that the wife of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has lived in exile. After the poison attack on him, she decided to return to Russia with him for the time being. Navalny's journey ended in Russian custody, which he did not leave until his death in February 2024.

Following her announcement that she wanted to continue her husband's work, a Moscow court issued an arrest warrant for her for alleged membership of an "extremist organization". Since then, she has been living in exile in an unknown location under protection.

As patron of this year's Körber Foundation Days of Exile, Julija Nawalnaja will give a speech on exile. The evening will be rounded off musically by the Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer and the chamber orchestra Kremerata Lettonica.

The event will be moderated by journalist Muschda Sherzada.
