Four weeks after he was poisoned, Alexei Navalny, a 44-year-old Kremlin critic, describes on Instagram how it went.
Who was being treated in Berlin for serious poisoning? Alexej Nawalny, critic of the Kremlin has posted a new photo of himself, standing on a staircase in the Berlin Charité University Clinic. The 44-year-old thanked the clinic’s “brilliant doctors” in the message posted on Instagram on Saturday.
“You turned me from a ‘technically alive person’ into someone who has every chance of becoming a higher way of life again in modern society,” he wrote. He becomes someone who quickly returns to Instagram and “understands without thinking where a like belongs.”
“Now I’m a guy whose legs shake when he walks down the stairs,” he wrote, matching the image of the steps. He clings to the railing with blue gloves. However, not long ago he had not even recognized people nor understood how to speak. “That drove me to despair, because I basically understood what the doctor wanted, but I didn’t know where to get the words from.” He was simply silent because he could not express his despair.
By his own account, Navalny still awaits a longer road to recovery. There are still many problems to solve. The phone feels like a stone in my hand. “And pouring water yourself is a real attraction.” The post received more than 200,000 likes in a few minutes.
Navalny has been treated at the Charité since August 22. He was in an artificial coma for weeks. According to information from special laboratories, he was poisoned with an internationally banned nerve agent from the Novitschok group (read, who invented neurotoxin). Russia denies Accusations of having something to do with the case.
The Kremlin recently rejected statements by Navalny’s team that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s opponent was allegedly poisoned at a hotel in Tomsk, Siberia. According to their own information, the team had seized a bottle of water there, in which a laboratory in Germany found traces of Novichok. After leaving Tomsk, he collapsed on August 20 on a flight to Moscow. The plane then landed in Omsk, where Navalny had been treated until his rescue flight to Germany.
