‘Navalny’ Director Daniel Roher On Russian Opposition Leader’s Shocking Death At 47: “Putin Is Responsible”
'Navalny' director Daniel Roher is blaming the Russian opposition leader's death on Vladimir Putin.
Navalny had been under lock and key at various prisons in Russia after he returned to his homeland in 2021 from Germany, where he had undergone emergency treatment after a near-fatal poisoning attack (an assassination attempt also widely blamed on the Kremlin). In one extraordinary scene, Navalny impersonates a Russian official in a call to a Kremlin-connected chemical weapons agent, tricking him into confessing details of the murder plot. In one of the emotional highlights from the Oscar telecast last March, Roher and the film’s producers accepted the Academy Award alongside Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and the couple’s two children.
