    Here is transcript translated to English by ChatGPT.

    Hello, this is Yulia Navalnaya. Today, for the first time on this channel, I want to address you. I shouldn't be in this place. I wasn't supposed to record this video. Another person should be in my place, but that person was killed by Vladimir Putin. Three days ago, Vladimir Putin killed my husband Alexei Navalny. Putin killed the father of my children, Putin took away the most precious thing I had, the closest and most beloved person to me - but Putin also took Navalny away from you.

    Somewhere in a colony in the Far North, beyond the Arctic Circle, in the eternal winter, Putin didn't just kill a man, Alexei Navalny. He wanted to kill our hopes, our freedom, our future along with him. To destroy and erase the best evidence that Russia can be different, that we are strong, that we are brave, that we believe and fight desperately, and want to live differently.

    All these years I have been by Alexei's side: elections, protests, house arrests, searches, detentions, prisons, poisoning, protests again, arrests again, and once more prison. Here is our last meeting in mid-February 2022, our last photograph together. Exactly two years from that day, Putin will kill him.

    All these years I have been by Alexei's side. I was happy to be with him and support him. But today I want to be with you because I know that you have lost no less than I have. Alexei died in the colony after three years of torment and torture. He didn't just sit there like others do. He was tortured, kept in solitary confinement, in a concrete box. Please just imagine: it's a room six or seven square meters, with nothing in it except a stool, a sink, holes in the floor instead of a toilet, and a bed that is chained to the wall so he couldn't lie down on it. A cup, a book (one), and a toothbrush, that's all he had. Hundreds of days.

    He was harassed, cut off from the world, not given pen and paper to write a letter to me or our children. He was tortured with hunger. Three years of hunger. And he not only didn't give up - he always supported us: cheered us on, laughed, joked, inspired. He never doubted for a moment what he was fighting for and suffering for. My husband couldn't be broken, and that's exactly why Putin killed him. Shamefully, cowardly, never daring to look him in the eyes or even say his name. And now they are cowardly and disgracefully hiding his body, not showing it to his mother, not returning it, lying pitifully, waiting for traces of another Putin's 'Novichok' to disappear.

    We know the specific reason why Putin killed Alexei three days ago. We will soon tell you about it. We will definitely find out who exactly and how exactly committed this crime. We will name names and show faces.

    But the most important thing we can do - for Alexei and for ourselves - is to continue to fight. More fiercely, more desperately, more violently than before. I know it seems like it's impossible to do more, but we must do more. Come together in one strong fist and strike against this insane regime. Against Putin, his friends, the thugs in uniforms, the thieves and killers who have crippled our country.

    I know, I feel that you are torn apart by the question: why did he come back? Why did he willingly throw himself into the hands of those who had almost killed him once before? Why such a sacrifice? After all, he could have lived peacefully, taken care of himself and his family. He could have remained silent, not investigate, not speak out, not struggle.

    He couldn't. Alexei loved Russia more than anything in the world. He loved our country, you. He believed in us, believed in our strength, in our future, in the fact that we deserve better. He believed not in words, but in actions. So deeply and sincerely that he was ready to give his life for it. And his immense love will be enough for us to continue his work. For as long as it takes. Just as fiercely and bravely as Alexei did.


    Everyone is thinking now: where do we find this strength? How do we continue living? Here is where we will find our strength: in his memory, in his ideas, in his thoughts. In his unwavering faith in us. I will seek my strength in this.

    By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me, half of my heart, and half of my soul. But I have the other half left, and it tells me that I have no right to give up. I will continue Alexei Navalny's work. Continue to fight for our country with you, and I call on you to stand by my side. Share not only the grief and endless pain that has enveloped us and won't let go. I ask you to share my anger. Anger, rage, hatred towards those who dared to kill our future. I address you with the words of Alexei, in which I truly believe: it's not shameful to do little - it's shameful to do nothing. It's shameful to let yourself be intimidated.

    We need to use every opportunity to fight against war, corruption, and injustice. To fight for fair elections and freedom of speech. To fight to reclaim our country. Russia - free, peaceful, happy - the beautiful Russia of the future that my husband dreamed of. That's what we need. I want to live in such a Russia. I want our children to live in it. I want to build it together with you - exactly the way Alexei Navalny imagined it: full of dignity, justice, and love. Only in this way - and no other. The inconceivable sacrifice he made can not be in vain. Fight on and do not give up. I am not afraid - and you should not be afraid either.
