Joining director Daniel Roher on stage, Navalny’s wife Yulia Navalnaya said, “My husband is in prison just for telling the truth. My husband is in prison just for defending democracy. Alexei, I am dreaming of the day when you will be free and our country will be free. Stay strong my love. Thank you.” The Kremlin said Monday that the Academy Award showed “a certain element of politicisation” by Hollywood.
