Yes, even the last three years of happiness. For the love, for always supporting me, for making me laugh even from prison, for the fact that you always thought of me. I don't know how to live without you, but I will try to make you up there happy for me and proud of me. I don't know if I can stand it or not, but I'll try. I will Always Love You. Rest in peace".

Alexey Navalny's coffin was buried in Russia's Borisovskoye Cemetery to the tune of Frank Sinatra's “My Way.”
