The poison of the Novichok family entered the body of Russian opponent Alexei Navalny through the skin of his palms, said one of the developers of this substance, Vladimir Uglev. He believes that the restoration of the politician will proceed in the same way as in the case of the daughter of the former Russian intelligence officer, Yulia Skripal.
The poisoning of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny occurred between one and three hours before his departure to Tomsk airport. A scientist, one of the developers of the Novichok poison group, Vladimir Uglev, announced this in a letter to Radio Liberty on September 19.
After studying the dynamics of the injury, he came to the conclusion that one or a mixture of substances from the “Novichok” group entered the body of the politician through the skin.
Uglev suggests the following route of contagion: from a personal hygiene item (body deodorant, electric toothbrush, etc.), a poisonous substance fell onto Navalny’s palms, then was transferred to bottles of mineral water left in his room. and those he drank on the plane, as well as on his clothes.
“Only a chain of random events, starting with the actions of the aircraft commander in such a difficult situation as the total lack of information, as well as the pressure of the” black colonels “of the medical staff of the Omsk hospital, saved Alexei of death or at least of a more serious defeat, “wrote the scientist.
In his opinion, no more than 20-25% of the dose entered Navalny’s body. LD50 (the so-called semi-lethal dose; the amount of substance required to kill half of the individuals in the study population)
Uglev added that the dynamics of the politician’s recovery will be similar to what happened after the infection in Salisbury of Yulia Skripal, the daughter of former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal.
On August 20, the plane in which Navalny flew from Tomsk to Moscow, urgently landed in Omsk due to the deteriorating state of the politician. Navalny was unconscious in the toxic resuscitation department of the No. 1 emergency hospital in Omsk. On the morning of August 22, he was flown to the Berlin Charite clinic.
On September 2, the German government announced that traces of a substance similar in composition to Novichok had been found in Navalny’s body. The biological material extracted from the politician was examined by a special laboratory of the German armed forces. The fact of the poisoning of Navalny with poison from the Novichok group was also confirmed by laboratories in France and Sweden.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Berlin’s statements about the Navalny poisoning were not supported by facts. The head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, claims that there were no traces of poison on the politician’s body at the time of his departure to Germany.
The “Charite” doctors announced on September 7 that Navalny was brought out of a medical coma and disconnected from the ventilator. On September 14, German doctors reported that the politician is feeling better and is on his feet. On September 15, the opponent posted his first Instagram post after the poisoning. On September 19, he announced that began to move independently.
Skripal, 66, and her 33-year-old daughter, Yulia, were hospitalized with symptoms of poisoning in Salisbury, UK, on March 4, 2018. The investigation found that a Novichok nerve agent was used during the assassination attempt, developed in Russia, applied on the door handle of Skripal’s house.
Both subsequently came out of critical condition. On March 29, 2018, it became known that Yulia Skripal regained consciousness and began to speak, and on March 30, she began to eat and drink.
