This week’s edition of Friday Focus starts with a discussion of the news of the death of Russian democracy advocate and politician Alexei Navalny in a Siberian prison. What does this targeted killing say about the state of Russian politics? How is it likely to impact Western support for the Ukrainian war? Why is Putin deciding now, after years, to remove Navalny as a political threat? The back half of the program discusses the two recent elections in Pakistan and Indonesia. What do these two events say about the health of democracy in the global south?
