War and memory: Memory of Nawalny in Vienna a year after his death

Schwarzenbergplatz, 1010 Wien, Österreich - On February 16, 2025, activists in Vienna commemorate the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexej Nawalny, who died in a penalty camp last year. Katja, a representative of the "Russian Against was Vienna" initiative, commented during a film screening and criticized the continued escalation of the Ukraine War and the bad conditions for Nawalny supporters in Russia. To support the upcoming demonstration on February 23, she called in Vienna and emphasized the need for peaceful engagement for Ukraine, "on Ukrainian conditions", as the demands formulated. This event took place in the horticultural cinema and was both a memory of Nawalny's ultimate reputation for resistance and a protest against the ongoing war in Ukraine.
