The event is scheduled to take place in Berlin on June 4th, coinciding with the politician's birthday, as reported by DW.

"We persist in our efforts to amplify the resonance of Alexei's name and his ideological legacy. Putin may have silenced Navalny, yet he cannot extinguish his influence as long as we uphold his memory and continue to advocate for his ideals," stated a message disseminated via Navalny's team's Telegram channel.

According to organizers, the concert, dedicated to the memory of Alexei Navalny, will feature performances by the bands Kasta and Pornofilms, rapper Noize MC, and singer Aigel.

Additionally, in Berlin, as a tribute to Navalny, demands have been raised for the naming of a street in his honor.

Alexei Navalny tragically passed away on February 16th, at the age of 47, within the confines of a penal colony situated in Siberia's Arctic region. He had been incarcerated since 2021, serving various sentences he deemed retaliatory measures for his leadership role in the anti-Kremlin opposition movement.
