Yulia Navalnaya demanded that The Insider newspaper remove materials from its website about the results of the forensic examination of Alexei Navalny’s body, which was accompanied by a photo of the politician after death.
Navalny’s widow also demanded that the newspaper not write about her deceased husband again.

On March 9, the Anti-Corruption Foundation published excerpts from a document containing the results of the autopsy of Alexei Navalny, which was conducted by forensic experts from the Russian Ministry of Health. As Maria Pevchikh said, FBK received the document a year and a half ago, but did not publish it because “the content does not meet any ethical standards, even minimally.” According to her, a number of media outlets will publish this document this week under the guise of a “sensational publication.”
Shortly thereafter, The Insider published on its website materials accompanied by a photo of Alexei Navalny’s body on the medical examination table. The memo is titled, “The Black Mirror channel on Telegram published the results of the official examination of Navalny. They deny the official cause of death.”
FBK employees accused the journalists of “an unprecedented level of bestiality and eating corpses.” The magazine subsequently removed the photo from the article and apologized to Navalny’s relatives and “everyone who was psychologically traumatized by this photo.”
