On February 18, Pussy Riot activists held a memorial protest for Alexey Navalny in Berlin. Group members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Lucy Shtein, as well as Navalny associate Lyubov Sobol and former Russian state TV employee Marina Ovsyannikova, were among those turned out to demonstrate in front of the Russian Embassy. The protesters planned to march from there to the Brandenburg Gate but were stopped by police.
