Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Released From Hospital After Failed Novichok Poisoning





Daily Mail: Pictured: Putin arch-rival Alexei Navalny poses on a park bench after being discharged from hospital as doctors say a full recovery from failed Novichok poisoning 'is possible'

* Alexei Navalny has been discharged from hospital in Germany after poisoning
* Doctors say full recovery 'is possible', but poison may have long-term effects
* 44-year-old has vowed to return to Russia to continue his opposition to Putin
* It is not clear when exactly he will return, and where he will stay in the meantime

Alexei Navalny, Putin's arch-rival and critic, has posed for a photo in a park after being discharged from hospital following a failed Novichok poisoning.

The 44-year-old revealed that he is still in rehabilitation and is learning basic skills such as balancing, catching, throwing and writing following the attempt on his life, which has been blamed on the Russian state.

But he said the recovery will continue outside of hospital after doctors ruled he is healthy enough to leave, and that a 'full recovery' is possible.

It comes a month after the dissident politician fell into a coma while on a flight in Russia, spending a total of 18 days in a coma.

Navalny has vowed - via his spokeswoman - to return to Russia to continue his opposition to Putin's rule, though exactly how long that will take is unclear.

Arch-rival is a bit too much, don't you think? He's more of a nuisance, and widely disliked even among the opposition (liberals dislike him for approaching nationalists, nationalists dislike him for being a liberal).

So he's poisoned. Got it.

So we did all decide if Biden did this? Notice he was out of the public eye and it's very possible he was able to get to Russia and back undetected.
