Along with my colleague Mike Quigley (IL-5), I was proud to introduce legislation to rename a section of the street near the Russian Ambassador to the United States’ residence as “Alexei Navalny Way.” Navalny was an opposition leader and anticorruption activist who led the political opposition against Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than a decade. Putin tried to silence him by poison and later by imprisonment in remote Russia, where he continued to advocate for a free Russia. On February 16, 2024, Navalny died in a prison near the Arctic Circle, according to Russian authorities. There is no doubt or question that Vladimir Putin is responsible for the murder of Alexei Navalny. Determined to create a truly democratic Russia, Navalny exposed the oppression and corruption of Putin’s dictatorial regime. In recognition of his ultimate sacrifice, I am proud to lead my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan, bicameral bill to rename the street adjacent to the Russian Ambassador’s residence in our nation’s capital as ‘Alexei Navalny Way.’ The United States must continue to stand up for those fighting for freedom in Russia and stand strong with our ally Ukraine in the mission to defeat Putin’s vision of brutally subjugating all of Eastern Europe.
