This bill proposes to designate a specific section of Sumner Row in Washington, D.C., located between 16th Street Northwest and L Street Northwest, as "Alexei Navalny Way" . The legislation aims to honor Alexei Navalny, a prominent Russian political dissident and activist known for his dedication to promoting democratic freedoms and combating corruption within Russia. This designation is intended to serve as a continuing expression of solidarity between the people of the United States and the Russian people who are striving for fundamental freedoms. The bill's findings highlight the Russian administration's history of transnational repression, assassinations, and systemic human rights abuses against political opponents and human rights defenders. It specifically notes Navalny's death in a Russian prison on fabricated charges, despite his history of exposing widespread corruption and receiving numerous international awards for his work. To implement this, the District of Columbia would be required to construct and place two new street signs bearing the phrase "Alexei Navalny Way" at specified locations, designed similarly to Metro station signs.
