Navalny Team Publishes Russian State Autopsy to Preempt Kremlin Narrative

The release seeks to preempt a planned state‑media presentation.

Overview

  • The team posted the more than 270‑page official autopsy from summer 2024 with the family’s permission after holding it for about 18 months.
  • Russian authorities maintain Alexei Navalny died of ordinary causes on February 16, 2024.
  • Navalny’s family and allies assert he was poisoned and cite foreign laboratory findings that they say identified the toxin as Epibatidine.
  • No underlying international lab reports were published alongside the release, even as supporters reference those claimed results.
  • Russia categorically rejects the poisoning allegation and, according to state media, has filed objections with the OPCW, while Maria Pevchikh calls the state report “sterile and cleansed.”
