Vigil in Vienna: Commemoration of Alexei Navalny in front of the Russian Embassy

Vienna will be the venue for an important commemorative event on February 14, 2025: on the occasion of the first anniversary of Alexei Navalny's death, a press conference and vigil will take place opposite the Embassy of the Russian Federation. The Green Party's foreign policy spokeswoman, Meri Disoski, will take part in the event. The appointment is scheduled for 9 a.m. and will take place at the corner of Strohgasse and Reisnerstrasse in the 1030th district. Media representatives are cordially invited to register at the e-mail address Presse@gruene.at ots.at reported.

The meaning of the message

The Embassy of the Russian Federation is not only a political but also a historical place. It is located in a magnificent building that was built in the 19th century and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Vienna. The palace, which was once built on behalf of a banker, is an example of the Viennese Neo-Renaissance and is home to important historical events. Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy met here in 1961 and talks between Leonid Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter in 1979 that led to the signing of the SALT II Treaty. This historical legacy will be linked to today's memory of Navalny, a symbol of resistance against the Russian regime, such as wikimapia.org highlights.

The memorial event will therefore not only commemorate Navalny's legacy, but also the complex relationship between Austria and Russia, which is characterized by cultural and political aspects.
