Alexei Navalny, the most prominent critic of Russia鈥檚 government, has died in a Russian prison, just months after he was placed in a high security cell in a remote Siberian penal colony. His allies, and his wife Yulia Navalnaya, blame President Vladimir Putin and say it was under his orders.

What is the state of opposition in Russia without him? 大象传媒 Monitoring鈥檚 Russia editor, Vitaly Shevchenko, takes us through who Navalny was and where other prominent Kremlin critics are now.

With Russia鈥檚 elections taking place next month and Putin on his way to a fifth term as president, media censorship is at a high. 大象传媒 Monitoring鈥檚 Jen Monaghan tells us how Russian state media covered the news of Navalny鈥檚 death.
