Aleksei Navalny Out of a Coma and Responsive, German Doctors Say
![]() 1963 Monday, 07 September, 2020, 19:10 Doctors at Berlin’s Charité hospital said that the Russian opposition leader’s condition had improved, but they could not rule out lasting effects of a “severe poisoning” from a military-grade nerve agent. The Russian opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny is no longer in a medically induced coma and is responsive, doctors treating him at Charité hospital in Berlin said on Monday. But they did not rule out lasting damage from what they called his “severe poisoning” with a military-grade nerve agent. Mr. Navalny was flown on Aug. 22 to Germany for treatment of a suspected poisoning that specialists from the German Army later determined came from the Novichok family of substances developed by the Soviet Union and used at least once before on an opponent of the Kremlin. Ties between Berlin and Moscow, already strained over Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea and suspected involvement in the slaying of a Chechen rebel commander in a Berlin park last year, have been further eroded by the poisoning of Mr. Navalny. The German government has demanded an explanation from Russia, which the Kremlin does not seem inclined to offer, saying it has not yet been shown proof that Mr. Navalny was poisoned. |
