Leonid Volkov was attacked in Vilnius.

Russian opposition figure Leonid Volkov, close ally and top strategist of the late Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, was attacked near his home in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius. The assailant smashed a car window, sprayed tear gas into Volkov's eyes, and hit him with a hammer. This incident took place nearly a month after Navalny's unexpected death in a remote Arctic penal colony, where he was serving a 19-year prison term on charges of extremism.
