Click to see story on dagsavisen.noLess than 24 hours after creating an X account and posting a video on the platform, Yulia Navalnaya — the widow of Alexei Navalny — had her social media account temporarily suspended. X said the suspension was done in error.
Yulia’s video message went viral, garnering more than 5 million views on the platform. The caption read, “I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny. Continue to fight for our country.”

Her husband, Alexei Navalny, was a well-known critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and recently died while in a Russian prison. Many people, including President Joe Biden, said Putin was behind his death.
Yulia’s video accuses Russia of holding onto her late husband to conceal the cause of death, however, the video became unavailable when her account was suspended. News outlets said the account was down for 30 to 50 minutes.
When news of her suspension flooded the platform, Yulia’s supporters questioned why her account was unavailable.
After reinstating the account, X said it was accidentally flagged by its automated security protocols.
“Our platform’s defense mechanism against manipulation and spam mistakenly flagged Yulia as violating our rules,” X posted. “We unsuspended the account as soon as we became aware of the error, and will be updating the defense.”
Navalny’s family has been asking for the release of Navalny’s body. Russian investigators have reportedly told the family it won’t be released for at least two more weeks.
