Navalny's camp has revealed that he was in the final stages of negotiating a prisoner swap with a Russian agent serving a sentence in Germany shortly before his death in an Arctic prison.
On the 26th, Mariya Pevchiv, director of the Anti-Corruption Fund founded by Navalny, released a new video about Navalny, a former colonel in the Russian Federal Security Service serving a life sentence in Germany for murder. It was revealed that negotiations were underway for a prisoner exchange with Japan.
The negotiations were said to have involved two Americans in addition to Navalny, and Abramovich, a Russian oligarch known as an oligarch, were involved in the negotiations, and on the 15th, the day before Navalny's death. "It was in its final stages."
However, Pevchiv claims that Putin ultimately refused to allow Navalny's release and decided to kill him.

The Wired portal published an investigationabout a “large-scale, coordinated, misogynistic disinformation campaign” directed against Yulia Navalnaya. False claims that she had abortions, cheated on Alexei Navalny and was not upset about his death are actively spreading in pro-government media, Telegram channels and social media accounts associated with the Kremlin.
While Yulia Navalnaya speaks out about the death of her deceased husband and criticizes Vladimir Putin, more and more fake videos and images are spreading on the Internet, intended to attribute her to affairs with famous businessmen and journalists.
Wired notes that the campaign to discredit Yulia Navalnaya began several weeks before the death of Alexei Navalny in a colony above the Arctic Circle. For example, in early February, an article was published on a German-language website, where, with a link to a video allegedly filmed by a former FBK employee (declared an extremist organization in Russia and banned), it was alleged that Yulia Navalnaya had an affair with journalist Hristo Grozev (included in the register of “foreign agents”) " in Russia).
The video was originally posted on Instagram and later appeared on the English-language website Clear Story News, which is part of a pro-Kremlin network. These articles did not attract much attention at the time, but a few hours after the news of Navalny’s death on February 16, links to them began to be actively distributed in Russian-language Telegram channels, as well as in channels and blogs in other languages, including Finnish, Dutch, German, Italian and English. One of the largest accounts spreading this fake news was the channel of Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov.
Among the fakes that appeared after Navalny’s death is an edited photograph in which Yulia Navalnaya allegedly hugs Russian businessman Yevgeny Chichvarkin (included in the register of “foreign agents” in Russia). In the original photo, Navalnaya hugged her husband.
In addition, on the social network X, where Yulia Navalnaya’s account was first frozen, there is an active claim that the politician’s widow recently had an abortion. One of the accounts examined by Wired left dozens of replays under the publications of news organizations with the same false statement: “Yulia Navalnaya had an abortion in January 2024 in a private German clinic.”
The Kremlin is waging a gender-based campaign to spread fake news, Christina Wilfor, a spokesperson for the non-profit anti-disinformation organization Reset, told Wired. “Instead of confronting Vladimir Putin, social media continues to provide platforms for the mass dissemination of deeply harmful and defamatory rhetoric that puts women at risk and weaponizes gender,” she says.
