He still has a long way to go, but he can walk and talk again. Kremlin critic Navalny thanks his treating doctors on Instagram. It is not yet clear who is behind his poisoning.
Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, who is being treated for poisoning at the Berlin Charité, is on the mend. Navalny commented on Instagram and thanked the “brilliant doctors” at the clinic. “They turned me from a ‘technically alive person’ into someone who has every chance of becoming an elevated way of life again in modern society,” the 44-year-old wrote. He still has difficulty climbing stairs, but recently he didn’t even recognize people or understand how speech works.
Recovery will take time
Along with his statement, Navalny posted a photo of himself on a staircase in Charité. His recovery will take a while, he said. There are still many problems to solve. The phone feels like a stone in my hand. “And pouring water is a real attraction,” read the social media message.
The Russian opposition politician has been in treatment in Berlin since August 22. He had been in an artificial coma for weeks. He has been conscious again since September 7. According to information from special laboratories, he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the internationally banned Novitschok group. He and his team assume the Kremlin is behind. However, the Russian government denies the allegations.
Poisoning reports at the hotel
Recently there have been reports that Navalny was allegedly poisoned at a hotel in Tomsk, Siberia. According to their own information, the team had seized a bottle of water in which traces of Novichok had been found.
Navalny had collapsed on a flight to Moscow after leaving Tomsk. At this time, his fellow travelers already expressed the suspicion that it could be a poison attack.
