Yulia Navalnaya received the international Vanguardia Awards in Barcelona "for women's courage."
At the same time, another Navalnaya, 26-year-old Irina , a native of Mariupol, was sentenced by the Rostov-on-Don District Military Court to 8 years in a general regime penal colony on charges of preparing a terrorist attack during the "referendum" on the annexation of the self-proclaimed DPR to Russia in September 2022.
And no one will remember this other Navalnaya nor will she get an award for courage.
Irina Navalnaya was subjected to terrible torture in prison, including because of her last name.
"'Ah, Navalnaya, well, you're like Navalny's illegitimate daughter.' And they put her up against the wall and put a gun to her head", says Irina's mother. "And they call their own people, like, 'Come on, if you want to see Navalnaya.'"

Ramzan Kadyrov declared a "blood feud" against billionaire Kerimov and two State Duma deputies.
During a meeting with law enforcement officials, the head of Chechnya claimed that State Duma deputies Bekhan Barakhoev, Rizvan Kurbanov, and Senator Suleyman Kerimov had ordered his assassination for 100 million.
He made this statement in the context of the attack on the main office of Wildberries, where Chechens were involved.
"They have their own businesses, and not only did they take this woman's [Tatyana Kim's] business, but they even ordered me to be killed.".
There are discussions in russia that it could lead to a war or killings between Chechens and Dagestanis.
In Odintsovo, Moscow Region, an attack was committed on a former associate of Akhmat Kadyrov and former deputy chairman of the Ingush government, Sherip Alikhadzhiev
This was reported by Kommersant and other media. The attack occurred late in the evening, when Alikhadzhiev was returning home, he received serious injuries and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of a local hospital.
Previously, Alikhadzhiev was one of Akhmat Kadyrov's closest associates during the first Chechen war, and later held the post of deputy chairman of the government of Ingushetia.
Prior to the attack, Ramzan Kadyrov announced his intention to declare a blood feud against Senator Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev (Ingushetia) and Rizvan Kurbanov (Dagestan), who allegedly tried to order his murder.
It is believed that Kerimov is protecting businesswoman Tatyana Kim and the merger of Wildberries with Russ, and Kadyrov is protecting Vladislav Bakalchuk, who is trying to stop what is happening against the backdrop of a divorce.

🤔🇺🇸 Johnson: “I don’t have an appetite for further Ukraine funding, and I hope it’s not necessary. If Trump wins, I believe that he actually can bring that conflict to a close. I think he’ll call Putin and tell him that this is enough. If Harris wins, I don’t think it ends."
- Imagine that! And if Putin doesn't listen?
Journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, whose death was reported yesterday, was held by Russians in Detention Center No. 2 in the city of Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia. According to former prisoners, this detention facility is notorious for its brutal torture methods
"Taganrog is known as one of the most horrific places for Ukrainians detained in Russia. It’s called hell on earth. Azov fighters from Azovstal are also held there. Released individuals have spoken about the horrific torture they endured. Everyone there, whom Russians want to frame as criminals, ends up confessing to crimes they did not commit. After that, they are transferred to Rostov and put on trial," said human rights advocate Tetiana Katrychenko.
