Yulia Navalnaya posted a photograph on X showing her and Dasha,
huddled together - Yulia looking into the camera with her hand
over her mouth, and Dasha wrapped in a black coat and gazing
sadly into space.
"My dear girl. I flew here to hug you and support you, and you
are sitting and supporting me. So strong, brave and resilient.
We will definitely cope with everything, my dear one. It's so
good that you're at my side. I love you," she wrote.
It was not clear where and when the picture was taken. Navalnaya,
47, was in Munich last week when she learned of the death of her
husband, Russia's best known opposition leader in the West.
Dasha, their older child, is a student at Stanford University in
the United States.
Navalnaya has pledged to continue her husband's work and blamed
President Vladimir Putin for his death, an allegation the
Kremlin has angrily rejected.
Putin has not commented publicly on the death of Navalny, who
was serving sentences totaling more than 30 years on a series of
charges, including fraud and extremism, that he said were
trumped up to silence him.
The Kremlin has said it was not involved in his death, the
circumstances of which it says are under investigation.
