Moscow: Russia’s opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is being treated in Germany, has thanked Russian pilots and health workers for taking immediate steps when he became ill. Navalny (44) was ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow last month. On August 20, he fainted and went into a coma. He remained in a coma for about three months. He said in an Instagram post on Friday that the pilots immediately landed the plane at Omsk Airport and immediately identified a dose of “atropine” as medical personnel identified the poison given.
He wrote, “Thank you, dear good hearted friend. You are good people. ” The politician has also posted a photo hugging his wife Yulia. Navalny has been a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He is discharged from the hospital earlier this week. Meanwhile, Russian authorities have opposed international pressure to launch a criminal investigation, saying no poisonous elements have been found in the body of the opposition leader. Russia has demanded Germany, France and Sweden share their findings.
