Get ready for an electrifying event in Berlin, as the iconic band, Pet Shop Boys, take the stage at the Uber Eats Music Hall in honor of the late Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny. On June 28, 2025, the music will resonate for the man who dreamt of a Russia free from corruption and oppressive control.
A Night to Remember: "This Is Navalny"
With a set lasting for 40 thrilling minutes, the Pet Shop Boys will headline this unforgettable event called "This Is Navalny." Russian artists like electronic duo Aigel and singer Grechka will join the stage to keep the night pulsating. The program will also feature classical musicians, adding an emotional layer to this heartfelt tribute.
The event will not only offer an incredible performance but will also provide a platform for crucial conversations. A live meeting with Yulia Navalnaya, Alexei's widow and a dedicated human rights activist, will occur, as well as a screening of the Oscar-winning documentary, "Navalny." The event will close with a Q&A session, offering attendees insights into the life and ideals of this remarkable man.
Making a Difference Together
Through the event proceeds, the "You Are Not Alone" foundation will offer support to Russian political prisoners, aiding them and their families in their times of need. This foundation showed tremendous compassion last year by donating 2.5 million rubles to the cause [2].
Legacy of a Revolutionary
Alexei Navalny stood for a free, democratic Russia, embodying courage and unyielding spirit in his struggle against corruption and authoritarianism. His vision continues to inspire and offer hope for change [3]. By coming together at "This Is Navalny," attendees will join forces to lift up the potential for fairness and democracy in Russia.
Honoring Courage and Vision
To recognize those who uphold the ideals of a free and democratic Russia, the Alexei Navalny Prize will be awarded during the event. This prize serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity [3].
This concert is more than a music event—it's a testimony to the power of unity and resilience. Join the fight for freedom and democracy in Russia, as we rock out for a great cause!
