In addition, the Russian news portal The Insider soon reported that A. Navaln, 44, is recovering quickly: He has been awake from an artificial coma for some time, says and remembers everything until the fateful flight.
“His statements could endanger those behind the attack,” Der Spiegel said in an article. He adds that if Navaln’s condition continues to improve, he will likely be able to receive visitors at a clinic that has already strengthened protection.
He was transferred to the Charite Clinic in Berlin when Siberian doctors refused to investigate the version of the poisoning. Germany announced after a while that Novičiok-type poison had been applied to A. Navalna, and now Die Zeit reports that a new variant of this poisonous substance has been used.
“Navalnas has been poisoned by a new variant of the Novičiok chemical weapon, one that the world has not known about the attack until now and which is more aggressive and deadly than all other known variants of the Novičiok family,” the newspaper said.
According to Die Zeit sources in German intelligence, only the Russian special services could commit to “an operation with such a deadly and complex poison.” This variant of Novičiok is claimed to “work more slowly than previous types of material”.
German experts are convinced that the already small probability that some Russian oligarch ordered the poisoning of Navalna can be ruled out. After all, Novičiok-type poisons are produced only in special laboratories controlled by Russian military intelligence.

According to the publication, scientists from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the German Armed Forces found traces of Novičiok on the hands of A. Navaln and in a bottle of water that he carried with him the day he felt ill.
“Germany suspects that an agent of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) or other service has added the poison to the tea or placed it in the cup from which Navaln drank the tea,” writes Die Zeit. A. Navalnas drank tea at the Vienna Coffee House at Tomsk airport.
According to the plan – which was undoubtedly the Kremlin that decided to take out an uncomfortable opponent – A. Navaln was to be killed on a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow on 20 August.
His life was supposedly saved by the fact that other passengers on the plane immediately noticed that A. Navaln was feeling very bad, and then the pilot of the plane immediately made the decision to land in Omsk without planning.

By the way, just at that moment, someone had reported a bomb allegedly planted at the Omsk airport; apparently his intention was not to allow the doctors to help A. Navalns. Dispatchers allowed the plane to land and people tried to prevent the activist from losing consciousness.
Finally, an extremely important decision was made in the ambulance to inject three millimeters of antidote against A. Navalns: atropine.
True, it then appears that it was expected to eliminate opposition lung dysfunction, but atropine also helps neutralize the effects of nerve paralyzing substances.
Russia says so far that “it is too early to draw definitive conclusions about the causes of Navaln’s coma.” Moscow resents the world’s calls for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of activists.
