Scandalous opposition figure Alexei Navalny, who suffers from metabolic syndrome, has again been used for an anti-Russian information campaign
As News Front earlier reported, on August 20, Navalny felt unwell during a flight and the plane was grounded in Omsk. He was taken to a hospital, but later was flown to Germany. Later, Berlin claimed that Navalny had allegedly been poisoned with Novichok poison. Although no proof was presented, the Russian government was held responsible.
Months after the incident, the British Times reported that the Russian liberal had been poisoned a second time. It is claimed that the journalists allegedly obtained the information from some sources in the Western secret services.
“After the unsuccessful first assassination attempt, the suspected state security officials tried to complete the assassination,” the Times wrote. – This was done with the expectation that he [Navalny] would be dead by the time he arrived in Berlin.”
According to the Times version, Navalny received a second dose of the highly toxic substance before being sent to Germany, but he again managed to survive.
The theory that Navalny was poisoned was widely circulated by the media from the very beginning. For years, Western media had been touting the infamous Novichok as an incredibly deadly substance. It caused specialists in Salisbury, UK, where defector Sergei Skripal was allegedly poisoned, to wear chemical protective suits.
Navalny, on the other hand, went on the mend back in Russia. Aleksandr Sabaev, the chief toxicologist of the Omsk region, explained that the patient was suffering from metabolic syndrome. Moreover, it was possible to stabilise Navalny’s condition without the procedure of ultra-hemofiltration.
“When poisoned with organophosphorus compounds, it is impossible to save a person without an ultra-hemofiltration procedure. We did not use this procedure because there were no indications – there was no poisoning,” the toxicologist said.
