In central Moscow, Russia, police detained individuals who brought flowers to the monument to the victims of Stalin-era political repressions. This act of remembrance coincided with people across 140 cities in Russia leaving flowers and photographs in memory of Alexey Navalny, often at monuments to the victims of the GULAG system. Despite police arrests and intimidation, Russians continue to honor Navalny's memory by laying flowers at memorials, including a specific memorial dedicated to him in Moscow. Some individuals were also forced to give their names to the police during these acts of remembrance.
