Julia Ioffe Instagram – “Yulia, you saved me.”
Last summer, when her husband, Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, was poisoned by the Kremlin, the world saw Yulia Navalnaya fight the dragon of the Russian state and win. She became the measure of decency and nobility for millions of Russians, and many asked themselves if they would be capable of such grace and strength under such duress. And of course, everyone wanted a love like hers and Alexey’s. As one of their friends told me, “This is the motivator. In addition to his personal ambition, he needs to constantly prove to this beautiful woman that he is worthy of her.”
I hope you will enjoy reading this profile of Yulia Navalnaya as much as I loved writing it. Link in bio, and you can find it in the September issue of Vanity Fair. 📸 by @evgenyfeldman
