Description

Hundreds of Russians have been arrested for mourning the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Mr Navalny's body has been found in a hospital morgue, his mother and lawyers tried to see it but were denied access – that's all according to local media reports. There's been no talk of a post-mortem yet. With a Russian presidential election on the horizon, questions are being raised as to whether his death intends to act as a message to opponents of Mr Putin. Host Adam Parsons is joined by our Moscow correspondent, Diana Magnay, who met Mr Navalny. She describes what’s happening in Russia and speaks about her recent questioning by police. Adam also hears from Ekaterina Schulmann, a Russian political scientist who's been banned from Russia and marked as a foreign agent by Mr Putin. Plus, Dr Maxim Alyukov, a political sociologist at King's College London, talks about the upcoming Russian election.
