Overdose or sacred sacrifice: What is behind Navalny’s poisoning
Russian oppositionist, liberal Alexei Navalny was hospitalized with poisoning. He became ill right on board a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow, which is why the plane had to be urgently landed at Omsk airport.
Navalny was hospitalized and connected to a ventilator. According to media reports, the oppositionist was also put into a coma, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
There is no official information yet; the doctors who took tests from Navalny do not report an exact diagnosis, but Interfax, citing its sources, reports that the oppositionist was diagnosed with hallucinogen poisoning.
“Preliminary diagnosis: acute poisoning with an unidentified psychodysleptic,” the agency writes.
In addition, the Baza resource notes that Navalny could have been poisoned with sodium hydroxybutyrate.
Also at the Tomsk airport, the Viennese Coffee House, where Navalny visited before boarding the flight, was closed.
“Now the authorities are clarifying all the circumstances of the incident. No comments yet. At the moment, the coffee shop is closed,” a coffee shop representative told the media.
According to Russian political scientist Armen Gasparyan, Navalny could become a sacred victim of the opposition in order to destabilize the situation in the country.
“Navalny. His condition is stable and serious, he is in a coma and is connected to a ventilator. Information on the diagnosis will be provided later. And the stench and muck of the clear-faced public is already following: Stalin killed Trotsky, Putin killed Navalny, the eternal Gulag... As always with these scoundrels. It's simple. Navalny is more profitable for them as a sacred victim who fell in an unequal struggle for freedom. Nemtsov has already been forgotten, and the resistance should not tolerate pauses,” Gasparyan wrote on his blog.
