Alexey Navalny’s Mentor and Friend: Putin Is “Evil, and a Killer” | Amanpour and Company

- As a result of a crackdown on independent journalists in Russia, Yevgenia Albats has been forced into exile. The Editor-in-Chief of The New Times, an independent political weekly based in Moscow, has been working in the United States since 2022. She was a close friend of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, whose death she blames squarely on President Putin -- as does Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalny. The Kremlin calls the accusation “absolutely unfounded,” claiming that an investigation into Navalny's death is underway. Yevgenia Albats joins the show to discuss the loss of her friend and what it means for the world.

Thanks for people who support Navalny and other Russians, who are against the war and Pu. It is not about nationality or what, it is about FREEDOM. Freedom from madness and cruelty
🤮🤮
Most reasonable people are against war, the death of so many young men is hard to comprehend. They the Russians are dying for nothing, the Ukrainians are defending their country. They people are so manipulated and brainwashed, they are not shown anything about the war, not even by Russian media, which we get to see. Such a sad and depressing situation.
can we please include Netinyahu with Putin?
@@annebenn353 I'm sure there's another forum where you can discuss/debate that.
A beautiful human being. A great loss.
Unfortunately there is a lot of examples in the human history when people were ready to risk of their lives for their political views, religious views. The cost of freedom can be very very expensive

Навальный был умным, чистым, добрым человеком
Его убил Путин.
Путин есть негативный, лживый, вор, коррупционер, убийца и мученник миллионов людей.
Not for Russia, the man was already a political corpse in our country
Thank you Evgenia for coming to share about your friend Alexei Navalny, despite your own grief and pain.
How lucky you are, Zhenya!
You are on the side of the Right & the Brave.
As Navalny told you, you will be alright.
You will speak for Navalny …he will not be silenced.😢
Your Evgenia is very wrong . Out of her old might .
My heart felt condolences [Yulia] to Navalny’s family. 🙏

@@AidaAidaAmir Freedom is a relative concept. Nowhere in the world will you find absolute freedom
@@musicclassic5938 you are absolutely free, Vladimir Putin! You do what you want
Navalny, his wife, this female journalist, all the ordinary Russians laying flowers all over the country and grieving his suffering and passing, they’re all shining lights on a hill! Where sin increases… grace even more so! 💪🏽 Rest in PEACE brave man… it won’t have been in vain…
brave? 😆😆😆 he sold himself to the Cia
I am very worried about Vladimir Kara-Murza a courageous journalist who has also suffered and sits in a penal colony.
YES Get the names out!
Well you should be VERY worried, his wife, family and friends, the world and myself! The regime in Russia has the same plans laid out for him as it was for Navalny. It would be FOOLISH to think not! SLAVA UKRAINI!
Yes. I believe, he is also a British national.
😔
Entire world knows who is responsible.
Oui mais personne n’a essayé de le protéger de ce tyran
Конечно американцы. Им выгодно убить его было перед выборами. Он им уже не приносил пользы...

Юлия Навальная
Юлия Навальная (чей голос, в своём бабульческо-натужном коверкании, похож на Марию Певчих) проронила фразу: «Потому что я знаю, что вы потеряли не меньше, чем я».
Другими словами, Юля приравнивает свою потерю к потере навальнистов, как бы уподобляя, ставит их на одну ступень. Юля, навальнисты страдают так же, как ты, или всё-таки ты страдаешь как навальнисты (которые забудут его через пару дней).
Юля знает, что у мужа два условных срока, она видит, что он (после страшного отравления и длительной комы) находится в измененном состоянии сознания, и несмотря на это, везет его бодро и уверенно на неминуемую смерть: «Мальчик, водочки нам принеси, мы домой едем».
Юлия Навальная: психопатично холодная, садистичная, безжалостная сектантка, отстраненная от чувств, прекрасно сойдет на роль немецкой эсэсовки.
Навальнисты, задайтесь пожалуйста вопросами:
⁃ Как у «патриота России» может учиться дочь в США (в самом дорогом и престижном университете), за счет государства, а вернее, за счет американских налогоплательщиков? Американцам это зачем?
⁃ Почему американская администрация (американские налогоплательщики) оплачивают красивую жизнь Юле и её семье?
⁃ Зачем помощнику Байдена катать Юлю на своем частном самолете?
⁃ Какое дело Юля будет продолжать под воздействием США? И чьи на самом деле интересы отстаивать, русских или американцев?
⁃ Что конкретного Навальный сделал для России и русских?
И главное,☝️Юлю содержит человек (президент США Байден), который убивает русских солдат.
Пспс: кстати, навальныши, оказались такими же злющими, как Юлька, массово угрожают мне расправой.
And I immagine you have the proof of that, wait... no you don't
freedom for Ilya Yashin and Vladmiu Kara Murza!
Thank you for this interview. I am a Christian who is SO UPSET with my conservative Christian friends who support Trump and therefore Putin. I just joined the Democratic party and I'm doing everything I can to counteract this support by misinformed people. God help us.
Peoples stupidity and hard headedness is so dangerous.
All my fellow christian friends (real christians) have the wisdom that gives the word of God. It is very delusional to see how some people (who claim to be christians) are so brainwashed by media that cannot see beyond their nose
❤❤❤❤
Trump is bad why?
I understand for I am on my own, no one in my orbit wishes to discuss with me the salient problems that exist in the world today. All I can expect from them are head movements, nodding as in yes, swaying of the head as in no. I am so disgusted & appalled by people who conveniently lose their voice ...... they wish not to go there for it will penetrate their comfort zones ❣️
A beautiful young man snuffed out by the monster Putin. 😢
😢😢😢💔
A beautiful young man who once said that ethnic groups in Russia were "cockroaches" needing to be exterminated. Do your homework and pick your heroes more carefully.
At least we know Navalny is with the angels. Pootin will have to meet his Maker someday and can only guess where he'll wind up.😈😈😈
Are you completely sure? what is your source, mickey mouse news?
@@michelangelo4701Get your 6 rubles and get lost!
It is important that monsters do not become in positions of power.
This lady is definitely talking sense. Respect ✌️
Absolutely,she is..
Great loss for the world, family, friends..
RIP,Aleksey🙏
She is talking bla bla bla😂
you s h e £ p s cannot diferentiate sense from madness
Here in Russia, she is considered fucked up)
My condolences, I can feel your pain through the screen 😢
Thank you for your strong words for how we must take the danger of Putin seriously.
Don't be afraid, repel the propaganda, America wanted this conflict in Ukraine with Russia.
100%.
Putin is another Bin Laden. Putin will never be able to take away the great legacy of Navalny.
Powerful words & testimony
Alexi Navalny’s courage, especially in this era of gutlessness and complacency, has a lot to teach the Home of the Brave. Love to his wife and children and to his supporters speaking a better future in Russia. I hope Americans fight for the future of American Democracy as hard as Navalny fought for his own country.
Well said
Then vote 💙💙💙💙in 2024
I am in Ireland 🇮🇪
Sadly, many Ameticans take our democracy for granted. A lot of denial exists in the USA.
I guess you are not very well informed, and you only watch western propaganda. So you wouldn't know that Navalny once said that ethnic groups inside Russia were "cockroaches" needing extermination. Don't be lazy, if you doubt me. The video of this is easy enough to find on the internet.
RIP Alexei- there is no one stronger in body, mind and spirit than he. May Putin know no peace ever!
I hope Navalny haunts Pootin in his sleep, FOREVER!
Well, Putin can never rest easy now.😊
🤝❤️🩹💯🙏🙏🙏
Condolences to the family of Mr Navalny. 🙏 💐
Thank you Yevgenia Albats for your comment. Everything you talked about is accurately true. God bless you. ✝️🙏
And pls do not drink tea in a London hotel or leave your underwear in a hotel room.
Ukraine is not losing the war, the West is. And scary times, are ahead if we do not get our act together.

@@braman2539 если её не знаешь ты, то это не значит, что её не знает большинство
I'm deeply impressed by Alexey Navalny's friend in this interview. She makes it so clear that Putin's aim is to reconquer the Ukraine ... then expand westward. And Trump is so OBVIOUSLY doing Putin's bidding. How can Republican's live with themselves?
This is the danger of a cult. That's what Trumpism is and has made it's way into churches, etc... It's the work of the devil. My ancestors are from Poland and Lithuania and
have no love for Russia. They are barbaric.
They are uneducated and stubborn and hard headed.
She is a journalist & friend of Nevalny and his family, not his mother.
Thank you for the guest. Спасибо Евгения за вашу позицию. Это очень важно объяснить нам - американцам с кем мы имеем дело. Если мы не поможем Украине оставить Путина - мир погибнет. We have no future while Putin is in power.
да, это верно. с путиным бессмысленно вести переговоры
@@user-ilk3879jyuПравильно. С преступниками не ведешь переговоры.
A. Navalny was so courageous, passionate and spiritual. I admire him. His spirit will be reborn to help te Russian people. My condolences for friends family, and country. Keep on fighting. The world needs to help stop Putin.
Excellent interview with this woman.
Thank you for your insights! I LOVE that you spoke about the hope that Yulia engenders for Russia’s future! In the wake of her grief and mourning her grace and resolve is majestic for all the world to see! Praying for a brighter future for Russia, for Aleksey Navalny’s Russia.
Grace and majesty are the perfect words to describe her. The strength it takes to face the whole effin world even as tears are in her eyes has been rare in the world and it's inspiring so many of us who care about democracy and freedom ❤️💙
@@sempressfi👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Trump and Putin birds of the same feather fly together
Justice for Aleksey😢
Smart lady. Real friend of Navalny
She’s so lucky that she received letters from a real hero of democracy.
Democracy needs to be fought for constantly. Its work
So, Biden was right in quoting about Putin as - A Killer Without A Soul?
Rest in Power Navalny. 🙏 My condolences to his family, friends and supporters.
As an Iranian who very well knows how dictators use every single opportunity to prominent and stabilise their power, I can not feel more disgusted by how Putins' opposes sacrificed Navalny.
May the pain of guilt be always with them.
Absolutely right
An American/Russian ballerina went to Russia and got arrested and charged with treason for donating $35 to a Ukraine relief organization and posting a comment somewhere that sympathized with Ukrainians. 🥺💔 No one should travel to Russia.
And Lira was imprisoned. Some will undoubtedly say he shouldn't have been in 🇺🇦 and others will say the same about Navalny in 🇷🇺
Both American citizens.
Perhaps both countries should be avoided by those who want to visit but are against the country they are traveling or living in given both are clamping down.
And a Russian who flew ahis military aircraft into Ukraine and surrendered was hunted down by Putin's thugs in Spain and murdered.
@@leav388 that was no surprise. I bet he knew he was dead. Better than being abducted and tortured for years. 🥺 what bloody men rule with iron fists
Putin - and his supporters/propagandists in this country - must be stopped for the sake of America and broader peace in the world.
American citizens immediately become hostages
The World needs people like Navalny, Mandela ,Martin Luther King, Gandhi so that the human race can progress & stand against evil & those that collude with it
Thank you!
Nothing happens in Russia without Putin approval…..
A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Only vote 💙💙💙💙
Absolutely. Too many Trumpists believe that Putin is just what the USA needs . Trump fits the Putin mould to them.
A vote for Biden is a vote for his puppet masters, war mongers like Blackrock. Biden is a dead man walking, a zombie, worse than Leonid Brezhnev once was for the USSR.
Еврожовапа и англосаксы совсем спятили. Им так плохо от того , что никак с Россией не справятся, что потеряли ращвм
Michel Martin, thank you for conducting a wonderful interview of Yevgenia Albats!
He also would have wanted us to now remember and free Vladimir Kara Murza. He is in the same situation. And many others💫
Thanks for the guest❤
Disturbed by the use of violence against dissent in Russia. Leadership should be defined by dialogue & respect, not by the suppression of dissent. The world is watching.
Even in America, there’s a guy who does not want to debate (dialogue) nor has respect whatsoever for anyone & he wants to run again after being voted out last time.
The problem is that the world id watching...and doing nothing.
And Putin sees this green light and of course is encouraged to continue, not stop.
We are so short-sighted.
I hope Navalny’s wife will NOT return to Russia and continue the fight OUT of the country where she has a chance to survive. Inside Russia the same thing would happen to her.
A woman who has lost her beloved husband to evil is a woman who will never give up. And there must be many other Russian women who feel this way. Putin, armies may not defeat you but Russian women will definitely have a say in your demise.
TRUE 🤱 ❤
The widows, mothers and sisters of the Russians who died in Ukraine for a deluded dictator.
Exactly evil
It is difficult to comment about these rare,heroic people who risk their freedom and lives,opposing tyranny,such as Navalny,his family and friends.God bless them.
Great interview. Loved it and very enlightening. Thank you.
This is the beginning of the end for the old school
Yevgenia......thank you for bravely sharing your grief, strength, insights, warnings & hope with us here! God bless you, Navalny's family, Russian people who mourn him & Ukranian people who mourn their dead ! 😢
When you avoid at all costs saying the name of an adversary, there is something pathological going on. Something abnormal, something devoid of basic humanity.
YES! YES! YES! ALEXEI NAVALNY🙏🌠 ALEXEI NAVALNY 🙏🌠 ALEXEI NAVALNY 🙏🌠
💖
The whole world knows that Putin is stark raving mad, bad and dangerous.
The Russian czar is afraid to say his name.😊
Thank you Yevgenia Albats for speaking to us on these important issues while still processing through the terrible act of Putin on a great man and your friend, Alexei Navalny.
I appreciated the interview and education you gave to all of us in PBS Frontline’s extensive treatment, The Putin Files.
Thank you Christanne Amanpour & team for bringing Genia to us in this tragic, crucial time.
Unfortunately there is a lot of examples in the human history when people were ready to risk of their lives for their political views, religious views. The cost of freedom can be very very expensive
I don't believe the support for Ukraine in the U.S. has lessened. It is just hard to get the fund when Trump/Putin allies in the legislature have blocked any progress. It is insane! Slava Ukraine!!!!
Vote Blue!
Yes, the Putin Wing of the GOP, as Liz Cheney named it. 😂
So much passion in her words, her energy feels powerful, everybody in touch with Navalnyi are so passionate and dedicated to theu job.
«Everything is OK. historical process. And Russia is going through it and we will get there together (probably). I'm doing well and I don't regret anything. And you don’t regret it and don’t be upset. Everything will be fine.
And if not, then we will be consoled by the fact that we were honest people. hugs!» from Alexey’s letter. Fearless man with strong beliefs..
❤😢🥺
She should publish this letter and send copies to every member of the House of Representatives.
God bless the beautiful people of Russia
Authorities detained a priest of the Apostolic Orthodox Church who wanted to hold a memorial service over the body of Alexei
What a dreadful country. Russians, run while you still can.
A very wise woman
Someone should write to Yulia Navalnaya and encourage her that she SHOULD ANNOUNCE HER candidacy TO THE PRESIDENCY OF RUSSIA FROM EXILE, BY ASKING ALL RUSSIAN PEOPLE through every possible internet media and TV channels willing to broadcast that RUSSIANS OPPOSING PUTIN SHOULD NOT VOTE IN THE ELECTIONS. IF ARE FORCED, THEN INTRODUCE THE BALLOT VOTE CANDIDATES CROSSED OUT with A LINE, AS A SIGN THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN NONE OF THEM BUT NAVALNY OR NAVALNAYA TO THE PRESIDENCY OF RUSSIA.
This would be a death sentence for her, you realize that?
Don’t we all wish in our dreams this could happen.
But in the Philippines, it did : when main opposition of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos was assassinated by the airplane upon his return from exile, his widow Corazon Aquino was elected President 3 years later. Their son also served as President later. So it can happen.
It is absurd if the main suspect is to investigate the murder.
Heartbreaking
One evil man is messing with the world. How is it possible that he gets away with it all..
Like Donnie boy does. He has protections 24/7 from being assassinated.
The world? WRONG, China supports Russia so do many other nations. The West is not the world.
What many are missing about the Moscow King is that he is a small person, his psychological condition is very different from everyone else. He is so mean, he never forgot any humiliation he ever felt and who provoked it. If you ever met people like tha in your life you would understand. And with the reasoning “why now? Whho is to benefit etc” remember - Anna Politkovskaia, Boris Nemtov were killed (among many more less known abroad) and russian propaganda always says on TV - we are not the ones to benefit for it… when you hear what they say after each case, you know for sure the truth is the opposite. Alexei was filmed all day long while in jail, if it wasn’t them then they would have released the videos. Instead there is information that the whole video monitoring of his cell was shut down that day…
Very Sad and Tragic. He will always be remembered. Fly away and RIP 🌹🙏🏻✨
Thank you Evgenia, you are saying the world of truth
THANK YOU. KEEP STRONG. XXXX
Condolences to the family😢
Rip
Deepest Condolences TO Alexei Navalny Wife And Family Xx💔🕯💐❤
This story sounds crazy, but I think it's unfortunately true...
Crazy how? We are talking about Russia here😮
Это правда. Страшная правда.
On July 16, 1918 Lenin ordered tsar's family execution and hid their bodies. Six weeks later on August 30, he was seriously injured in assassination attempt and never fully recovered.
Pootin will never rest easy now for as long (or short😅) he lives.
In times of war there are many murderers, my thoughts go to all those war victims.
Thank you 😢😢😢😢
The good news is that Navalny's wife is not in ruzzia so is placed to do what Alexei could not do.
And his brilliant daughter Dasha, an undergraduate at Stanford, whose Ted Talk you can view on YT.
Все верно сказано
Russia currently occupies 50% LESS Ukrainian territory than it did in 2022. Ukraine is NOT losing the war. Right now, they are on the defensive because the U.S. has failed to step up its support. Given all the weaponry it needs, Ukraine would prevail. Do not abandon Ukraine!
"Death does not exist...!"
All the people who have shaken the foundations for humanity for the better, have always I believe had spiritual values?
She is so right, Putin doesn’t intend to stop with Ukraine. Thank you for this interview.
La femme de Navalny possède une force et une grâce que peu de personnes parmi « les grands » de ce monde ne possèdera jamais
Navalny and his brand of courage are to be honored. He was laughing at Putin because he knew there was nothing Putin could take from him. If Alexi wouldn't give up, then neither should we. Brave spirit!
Navalny has never been a politician or a strategist. His task was specifically to go against. In Russia, few people are interested in him among the 140 million.
Good always triumphs over evil. All the evil and ruthless dictators of the world will eventually fall. I salute Navalny for his courage and commitment to his beliefs. A beautiful soul gone too soon. 🙏
💜💜💜 Navalny
I knew it was a tremendous mistake when I read that he was returning to Russia. What was he thinking? He would have been much more effective in exile than in a gulag. His friends and family should have stopped him.
His brother was in solitary confinement in Russia. He did not feel he could ask more of his compatriots than he was was prepared to give. But I agree with you totally. It was suicide to return. Absolutely heartbreaking
Let's stop overlooking Vladimir Kara-Murza!
Your interviews are gold, Christiane Amanpour.
Evgenia isa brilliant woman who did extensive interviews about Putin for pbs, I think.
I've never skipped an interview Yevgenia made with Alexey on CTV. To me personally it's vital to hear her now. Thank you so much Yevgenia!
Thank you
He was TORTURED ‼️
For long💔
Great interview! Praying for Yulia and Dasha, for strength and for protection.
Excellent interviewer. 👏👏👏 Michelle.
Many good quistions❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this very informative interview
Maria Kalesnikava the Belarusian flautist and political campaigner has not been heard since 12th February last year.
What a great loss. I’m so sorry he was killed, he would have been a great leader, and Putin was threatened by Alexei Navalny. Blessings to Alexei on his journey home, and peace to him family.
Putin and Trump are evil.
Condoleances in millions.... (And also as a person with another culture.. Im sad he did not stay abroad. He would have been needed 50 years more. Alive even if that 50 years would have "cost him" lets say 5 years in Germany first, then he could have had 45 more years, alive, in russia after.)
IMAGINE.....a free Russia. Elect Yulia.

It’s a very frightening situation - at the crux of it there lies good vs evil, it’s the same old story, mostly. Thank you for this informative podcast 👏🏻 Mr Navalny reminds me of the absolute potential statesmanship of Steve Biko whose life was also terminated abruptly in SA. Lives in clear bright candle flames, so much to offer in their contributions to a far more improved navigation for a better world ...... expunged❗️ A very sad loss indeed. My thoughts & prayers for comfort to the family & friends & all in the world who feel the significant loss of Mr Navalny’s bright golden flame 🙏🏻 Not for nought his life, he hasn’t lost, we have ❣️
Beautiful speech Zenya ❤ thank you so much for your endless energy and all the work, you do!
