15th September 2020: Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has revived from his coma and utters first words.

In the caption to the post, he wrote: “Hi, this is Navalny. I’m missing you. I still can hardly do anything, but yesterday I could breathe the whole day on my own. Completely on my own. No external help, not even a simple ventilator in my throat. I liked it a lot. A surprising process that is under-appreciated by many. I highly recommend it.”

Alexei Navalny was poisoned on his flight from Tomsk in Siberia to Moscow after he drank a cup of tea at the airport.

Doctors refuse to shift Alexei Navalny

The flight made an emergency landing in Omsk, where he spent two days being treated by Russian doctors, who ruled out poisoning in public statements.

However, a medical source in the city told Reuters on Monday that his treating doctors had immediately suspected poisoning. After two days he was flown on a specially equipped medical plane to Berlin, where he is being treated at the Charité hospital.

On Monday, the hospital said in a statement that he “continues to improve” and hinted that Navalny was now able to talk.

Kremlin denies the poisoning accusations to Navalny

A German security official told the New York Times on Monday that Navalny was speaking, was aware of what had happened to him, and had expressed a desire to return to Russia. “He’s not planning to go into exile in Germany,” the official said. “He wants to go home to Russia and he wants to continue his mission.”

German authorities say French and Swedish laboratories had confirmed their findings that Novichok had been used to poison Navalny. The French president Emmanual Macron called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to ask for an explanation.

Russian authorities have denied all involvement in the poisoning, either suggesting Navalny had got ill for other reasons or suggesting others had carried out a poisoning.
