The claim

Au moment de la mort de Navalny, Ioulia Navalnaïa se prélassait à la plage.

Rating

L'image remonte à 2021. Elle ne montre donc pas Ioulia Navalnaïa le jour de la mort d'Alexeï Navalny.

Original review summary

The review found that the beach photo was posted in 2021, not on the day Alexei Navalny’s death was announced. On February 16, 2024, Ioulia Navalnaïa was at the Munich Security Conference, where she briefly spoke after hearing the news.[S1]

Additional context

The review identifies the man in the photo as businessman Yevgeny Chichvarkin and says the Instagram post listed Jurmala, Latvia, as the location. [S1]
