Yulia Navalnaya, widow of the late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, has vowed to run for president once Vladimir Putin relinquishes power. The opposition leader's death in a Russian prison earlier this year left a vacuum in the movement against the Kremlin.

Navalnaya told the BBC she remains committed to toppling Putin's regime, stating, "My political opponent is Vladimir Putin. And I will do everything to make his regime fall." She plans to participate in future elections as a presidential candidate.

Despite the Kremlin's portrayal of Navalny's allies as extremist, Yulia Navalnaya continues to challenge the narrative, leading the Anti-Corruption Foundation and promising to reveal pivotal evidence regarding her husband's untimely death.
