The Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been laid to rest in in Moscow. The fiercest critic of President Vladimir Putin died two weeks ago in a remote Arctic prison.

His supporters shouted "Alexei, thank you!" as his coffin was brought into the cemetery near the the Moskva river. Navalny's parents and others paid their last respects. Earlier, thousands gathered outside the church where his funeral was held, in defiance of riot police and official warnings from the Kremlin. Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya thanked him on social media for 26 years of happiness.

For more on Navalny's funeral, we’re joined by Ekaterina Schulmann from the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center.

And we talk to DW's Russia Analyst Konstantin Eggert.
