Alexei Navalny's mother has been unable to recover his body after his death in an Arctic jail, a close aide to the dead Russian opposition leader says. Navalny's team believes the anti-corruption campaigner was murdered on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.

What would be proof from Russia you would believe?

They could return his body to his family for one. I'm just saying it would behoove Russia to be able to move this guy around free from scrutiny and claiming that he had died would be a way to do that. I'm not saying the he's alive but I also haven't seen evidence that he died apart from their assertions that he did

Well, his mother said she has seen the body

There's no evidence, but what you're saying is highly unlikely for too many reasons.

I just wanted to shine a spotlight on how untrustworthy Russia is imho.
