Despite nearly three years of war, life here can seem so normal: from the crowds of commuters on the Metro to the bars and clubs packed with young Muscovites.

On Saturday, a makeshift memorial was set up outside the concert hall where Muscovites lit candles and laid flowers.

The attack has punctured the sense of relative safety for Muscovites over the past decade, bringing back memories of attacks that shadowed life in the Russian capital in the 2000s.

Valery, another Muscovite at the cemetery, who withheld his last name for security reasons, said he had little hope for the future and that after Navalny’s death, that “something has really broken” inside of him.

“We express our support, wish them health, wish them to take care,” said David Davtyan, a Muscovite who attended.
