Berlin Rocks! The "This Is Navalny" Event
Mark your calendars - June 28, 2025, is going to be a night to remember! The Pet Shop Boys will be headlining the "This Is Navalny" event at the Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin. This ain't just any gig; it's a 40-minute set that'll rock your socks off. Joining them will be other artists like Russian electronic duo Aigel, singer Grechka, and classical musicians. The event will also feature a live chat with Yulia Navalnaya, Alexei's widow and a renowned human rights activist, a screening of the Oscar-winning documentary "Navalny", and a book signing.
"This Is Navalny" is all about bringing together folks who believe in a free and liberal Russia. Proceeds from the event will go to the You Are Not Alone Foundation, which supports individuals and their families who are politically imprisoned in Russia.
Navalny's Legacy: A Symbol of Hope and Change
The Pet Shop Boys are joining forces with Alexei Navalny's vision of a corruption-free, democratic Russia. Navalny was a man who never backed down, standing tall against Putin's regime until the very end. His unwavering spirit and belief in change continue to inspire us. He believed in a Russia unshackled from Putin's iron grip. He denounced Putin's invasion of Ukraine as immoral, fratricidal, and criminal. His legacy stands tall as a beacon of hope.
