One thing the eu has not done which the widow of Alexei Navalny wanted to happen, she wanted european leaders to come out and say President Putin does not have any legitimacy and he wanted brussels not to recognise this victory.

As our Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg reports, in a rare move mr putin also mentioned his late critic, Alexei Navalny, by name. For Vladimir Putin, six more years in the kremlin. Russias president is sounding more confident than ever. Translation whoever might want to intimidate us, whoever might want to suppress us, our will and our conscience, they have never been able to do it, and never will. Then, mr putins first Public Comments on the death ofjailed Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny.
