Right now I'm too weak to do most of the things, but yesterday I could breathe on my own the whole day. I didn't need any outside help , I did not even use a simplest valve in my throat. I quite enjoyed that. It's a wonderful and underrated process. I highly recommend it."

Navalny's condition is serious but stable, the symptoms of poisoning are receding, his life is out of danger. We need you alive, Lyokha. Get well soon!

Well, he's the mix of all these people (+Fred Rogers and Bernie Sanders), because he's an incredibly suave, brave, charismatic, charming and kind politician, who'll make our country great again, shall he recover and come to power. However, he has such minor flaws as arrogance and controversial views on immigration from post-Soviet Muslim-majority countries and foreign policy (Blair has always been a charismatic and charming leader and he was a great PM until he started sucking up to neocons and joined them in invading and raping Iraq, however, I'm not defending Saddam either. In fact, I consider trickle-down economics, unfettered capitalism, corporate greed, Neoconservatism and Libertarianism to be as ghastly and repugnant as Communism, Fascism and Nazism)

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/24/alexei-navalny-was-probably-poisoned-says-germany. German doctors have determined what kind of poison it was. Thank god it wasn't polonium. It's a some kind of cholinesterase inhibitor. (Novichok?) Alyosha's still in a coma, but , at least, he's out of danger. He's 6'2 tall strong and generally healthy man, who jogs almost everyday and was seen swimming with his friends a night before the brazen attempt on his life and there's not much doubt that our lovely mix of Mandela, Gandhi, MLK, RFK, Paul Wellstone, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Heseltine, David Owen and Tony Blair (albeit with immigration views close to those of Norman Tebbit's, though) will recover in two months. Cheers.

Thank God for that.

The head physician refuses Navalny to be airlifted to Germany for treatment
