The chosen Russian Orthodox church is an imposing five-domed white building in a built-up suburb of southeastern Moscow.<strong>It was not immediately clear how the authorities would ensure crowd control.<\/strong>But judging from previous gatherings of\u00a0Navalny\u00a0supporters \u2013 whom the authorities have designated as U.S.-backed extremists \u2013 a heavy police presence is likely and the authorities will break up anything they deem to resemble a political demonstration under protest laws.Navalny, 47, died at an Arctic penal colony on Feb. 16. His allies have\u00a0accused\u00a0President Vladimir Putin of having him murdered because the Russian leader could allegedly not tolerate the thought of\u00a0Navalny\u00a0being freed in a potential prisoner swap.They have not published proof to back up that accusation, but have promised to set out how he was murdered and by whom.<strong>ACCUSATIONS<\/strong>The Kremlin has denied state involvement in his death and has said it is unaware of any agreement to free\u00a0Navalny\u00a0prior to his death.Navalny\u2018s death certificate, according to supporters, said he died of natural causes.<strong>His mother last week\u00a0accused\u00a0the authorities of trying to blackmail her into holding a private funeral for her son by initially withholding his body, an assertion the Kremlin called absurd.<\/strong>Navalny\u2018s allies had been looking for a hall to accommodate his supporters at a farewell ceremony, but said they had been refused everywhere.\u201cInitially we planned the farewell and funeral for February 29th. It quickly became clear that there was not a single person who could dig a grave by the 29th of February,\u201d Ivan Zhdanov, a\u00a0Navalny\u00a0ally, wrote on X.Feb. 29, Thursday, is the same day as Putin is due to deliver a speech to Russia\u2019s political elite and Zhdanov accused the authorities of not wanting\u00a0Navalny\u2018s funeral to take place on the same day and overshadow it.Zhdanov also accused the authorities of blocking attempts to secure a large hall for supporters to bid farewell to\u00a0Navalny.<strong>\u201cBastards. They won\u2019t give us the date we want.<\/strong> They won\u2019t give us the hall. Everyone will say goodbye to Alexei anyway,\u201d wrote Zhdanov, who is outside Russia.The Kremlin has said it has nothing to do with arrangements concerning\u00a0Navalny\u2018s body.Follow the<br \/>\nCyprus Mail  on Google News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny&#8217;s funeral service and burial are scheduled to take place in Moscow on Friday, as announced by his spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh.
