Yulia Navalnaya: Why I want to be president of Russia

Alexei Navalny's widow discusses her husband's memoir and her plans for the future.

The Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was a fierce critic of President Putin. He died in an Arctic Circle jail in February while serving 19 years on extremism charges that were widely seen as politically motivated. The Russians said he died of natural causes, but world leaders including the US President Joe Biden believed Mr Putin was responsible.

For this episode of 5 Minutes On, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Culture and Media editor, Katie Razzall, has been speaking to Mr Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, about her husband's memoir which is published this week, and about her plans for the future.
