The murder of Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent jailed dissident, has sparked significant reactions worldwide. Newt Gingrich highlighted the incident as evidence of Vladimir Putin's unchecked power, mentioning @CliffordDMay. Ken Roth emphasized the chilling effect Navalny's death has on the hundreds of political prisoners in Russia.

His never-before-seen interview with Sky News, discussing corrupt officials in London aiding Putin, further underlines Navalny's significant impact as a young charismatic, forward looking and engaging politician.
