Since the death of her husband Alexei on February 16, Yulia Navalnaya has been unstoppable.
On the same day his death was announced, she addressed the Munich Security Conference.
Days later, she attended a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels, before traveling to the United States to meet with President Joe Biden.
Today she will speak to members of the European Parliament.
All the while, she has been posting videos on social media, clearly sending the message that she is taking her husband's lead, and positioning herself as a reference point for those feeling disenfranchised by the loss of Alexei Navalny.
Navalnaya appeared combative and determined. But during her public appearances, her voice often shook with sadness and anger.
Last week, she posted a photo on Instagram with her daughter Daria, 23, who lives in the United States, and wrote: “My beautiful girl. I flew to hug you and comfort you, and you are the one who comforts me. You are the one who comforts me.” “You are so strong, brave, and resilient… it's good to have you here.”
It was a reminder that Navalny's death, far from the conference rooms of Berlin, Washington and Brussels, also represents a personal tragedy for his family.
