“Of course, Alexei’s recovery process will take a long time. So far, he is staying in Germany for rehabilitation, it is definitely not a matter of a couple of days and even maybe not a couple of weeks,” said K. Jarmyš in the A. Navaln’s YouTube channel, NavalnyLive.

On Wednesday, it became clear that A. Navaln had been discharged from the Berlin clinic “Charite”. He said that he would now take a physical therapy course and then apply to a rehab center.

Earlier Thursday, Jarmysh reported that Navaln’s Moscow apartment and bills had been arrested while he was in a coma at a German clinic.

On August 20, Navaln felt ill and lost consciousness while flying from the Siberian city of Tomsk to Moscow. After an emergency landing, he was treated at the Omsk City Hospital for more than a day and transferred to the Charite University Hospital in Berlin on August 22.

On September 2, German officials, based on the findings of the country’s military laboratory, announced that traces of poison from the group of nerve paralyzing substances “Novičiok” were detected in the body of A. Navaln. Material from the same group, according to London, poisoned former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England in 2018.

On September 7, the hospital reported that the patient had awakened from a coma, and on Tuesday it was announced that he had been discharged from the hospital, but would continue his rehabilitation course.

Navalno’s comrades and foreign officials say it is Russia’s responsibility to show that the state did not order the poisoning and to conduct a proper investigation. At the time, Russia claims that Russia needs evidence from the investigation in Germany and elsewhere.

The Kremlin said Wednesday that Navaln could return to Russia unimpeded.

Jarmysh earlier told AFP that Navaln plans to return to Russia, where he and his colleagues were prosecuted, their houses searched and sentenced to brief prison terms.
