The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Navalnaya warned of possible arrests at her husband's funeral when there was no mention of this in her speech. Secondly, the author quotes Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling the allegations against Putin 'absolutely unacceptable and boorish', which is not accurate as he did not use those exact words. Thirdly, Navalnaya's statement that Putin killed her husband on orders is a lie as there was no evidence to support this claim.

Fallacies

The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Navalny's wife and family have accused Putin of ordering the killing of Navalny without providing any evidence or citation for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by implying that either Putin is treated as a statesman or as a mafia leader, when in reality there are other options available to treat him. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Navalny was tortured for three years and his body was abused after death, which may be seen as exaggeration or sensationalism.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Russian President Vladimir Putin has created a martyr in Alexei Navalny when there is no evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the article quotes Fiona Hill stating that Putin had targeted Navalny with an assassination attempt using Novichok nerve agent which was not true as per official reports and investigations. Thirdly, it states that Russian authorities threatened to bury Navalny at the prison where he died if his family did not agree to a closed funeral but this is also untrue as per official records. Lastly, the article quotes Ivan Zhdanov stating that finding a place for Navalny's funeral was difficult due to government interference which is again untrue as there were no restrictions on hosting the funeral in Moscow.

Fiona Hill: Putin has "created a martyr" in Alexei Navalny
Russian authorities threatened to bury Navalny at the prison where he died if his family didn't agree to a closed funeral, but that his mother refused to negotiate... because they have no authority to decide how and where to bury her son.
Navalny was initially handed a nine-year sentence in a high-security prison for parole violations, fraud and contempt of court, but was later convicted of promoting "extremism." His sentence was extended by 19 years in August 2023.
Navalny's ally Kira Yarmysh said on social media. 'The funeral will take place at the Borisov Cemetery.'
