No , that has been completely refuted as deliberate misinformation .

Wasn't she separated from him and has been seeing another man for some time?

It’s impressive that so many men and women of all generations have come out for Alexei Navalny’s funeral today. He and his family made an enormous sacrifice , and then they were forced to fight for the right to a dignified farewell. There were so many ordinary Russians there to honour them all , and to offer a pure, simple and powerful message .

Today must be incredibly tormenting for her as she and her daughters cannot attend the funeral in Moscow....am watching the coverage and hope she is relieved and takes some comfort in the fact that thousands of people have shown their support to honour her husband's memory by attending the burial.flowers

She is a remarkable lady as is their 23 year old daughter (Dasha) who I believe is also a political activist .

People should be brave, otherwise how will the war ever end? Putin is more frightened of people sharing Navalny's image than he is of anything else.
Yes, people may die as a result of their actions but sometimes a stand just has to be made otherwise nothing will ever change. Putin can't kill the people's spirit, and this is what he fears most.

I admire her too. I hope she stays safe.

I’d be too scared to even attend the funeral in case my card was marked. ‘A person of interest’ to their security forces. I’m such a coward but there it is. Keeping a low profile keeps you safe.

She is such a dignified woman and her speech is truly heart rendering speaking about her husband’s funeral on Friday which she hopes will be peaceful
Describing Putin as a monster and is aware that people coming to the funeral possibly will be arrested and worse…
