[David Lockmiller]

The New York Times reported today:

The Russian authorities detained at least 366 people, detained in 39 cities across Russia, as thousands of Russians publicly mourned the death of the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny.

A bishop who planned a public prayer for the Russian opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny was detained as he left his house. Two men were arrested for having a photograph of Mr. Navalny in a backpack. Another man who lay flowers at a memorial said he was beaten by police officers for the small act of remembrance.

The Russian Orthodox Church, the largest religious community in the country, has supported the Kremlin and given its imprimatur to the invasion of Ukraine.
