It’s been two days since Alexei Navalny was buried on the Borisovskoye cemetery in Moscow, and people are coming in droves to bring flowers, candles and small posters to his grave. The line to the cemetery stretches for half a mile, flowers covered the cross on the politician’s grave. On Sunday, after the gates closed, people were shouting “Let us in!” and threw flowers over the fence. The cemetery’s security asked them to come tomorrow. See what’s been happening at Alexei Navalny’s grave the last two days in a photo report by Mediazona.
