For 16 years Olga Mikhailova defended Alexei Navalny: anti-corruption activist, candidate for mayor, oppositionist, a man who survived an assassination attempt, almost died, but returned to his homeland, where he was sentenced to two decades in prison.
Until October 2023, lawyers were always next to Navalny: they filed appeals and complaints, sought decisions of the European Court, stood guard outside prison walls waiting for visits. Finally, simply talked with Navalny, who was essentially deprived of human communication in prison.
In October 2023, the Basmanny court sent lawyers who defended Alexei Navalny (Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin and Alexey Liptser) to pre-trial detention. They face up to six years in prison on charges of “participation in an extremist community.” Olga Mikhailova was on vacation with her daughter the day her colleagues were detained. She is now on the international wanted list and cannot return home.
Who and how protect the lawyers who defended Navalny? How do their families live? How come that for the first time in modern Russian history, lawyers were accused under the same article as their client? And will Navalny’s lawyer Olga Mikhailova continue to defend him after his death? This is a difficult conversation, but an important one.
