Russia’s most famous opposition politician, Navaln, is currently being treated for poisoning in Germany. The 44-year-old opponent fell ill last month on a plane flying from Tomsk, where he had gone to investigate corruption and promote his “smart vote” campaign against regional elections.

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.
