The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and Reporters Without Borders yesterday praised the launch of a television channel that aims to bypass censorship in Russia and preserve the Kremlin critic’s legacy.

The channel, called Future of Russia, will be broadcast via a free-to-air satellite platform run by the press freedom advocacy group Reporters Without Borders, known by its French abbreviation RSF. Navalny’s team hopes to get greater exposure and better reach with the help of the satellite broadcasts, which will feature content that Navalny’s team is producing for their YouTube channels in exile.

“I think it will be a long collaboration,” Yulia Navalnaya told reporters in a short statement in Paris.
