The prosecutor’s office responded to the Russians’ attempted protest.

“We draw your attention to the fact that this mass event was not coordinated with the city’s executive authorities in accordance with the procedure established by law,” the prosecutors noted.

Judging by videos and photos on social media, people in other Russian cities are paying tribute to Navalny after news of his death spread.
