Russian Pussy Riot Dissident Nadya Tolokonnikova has welcomed a pledge by Alexei Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya to carry on his fight for democracy, following his death in an Arctic penal colony last week.

“Today Yulia Navalnaya came out with a really beautiful statement and I was hoping she was going to make this statement because in my mind she only had two choices to retreat into depression or to continue fighting,” Tolokonnikova told Deadline at the Cinema for Peace gala dinner in Berlin on Monday evening.

“We spoke today with Lyubov Sobol from the Navalny team and we both agreed we do not need to see more political prisoners. I personally think if you have an opportunity to leave Russia and continue your fight abroad. That makes sense
