Thousands of Russians turned out on March 1 for the funeral of Alexei Navalny, a prominent Russian opposition figure who died abruptly last month—at age 47—in an Arctic penal colony.

Surrounded by police, mourners chanted Mr. Navalny’s name in unison outside of the Moscow church where the funeral was held.
