I'm Russian and that's not true. What a load of b**locks! The chap named Valery Solovey is a nutter, who should never be trusted at all.

What a pity, I liked him in Spitting Image (I'm probably one of the few Russians who watch SI, and the revival was quite OK, it's a lot weaker than the 80's SI, but it's not as bad as Newzoids and Headcases.). As I know, He voiced Norman Tebbit, Prince Edward , Jonathan Miller and few others here.

That's boar-zoo-NOFF. (The correct spelling is Borzunov, as in the late Russian dubber Alexey Borzunov)

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."

Nevertheless, get well soon, Alexey Anatolyevich. You have a country to run.

Oh , what a lazy and forgetful me. I didn't pick him anywhere. I've made a mistake while writing this

He is mostly famous for playing Rochefort in Soviet adaptation of "D'Artagnan and The Three Musketeers", Mycroft Holmes in Soviet "Sherlock Holmes" films and Peter Boyle's counterpart in Russian TV adaptation of "Everybody Loves Raymond".

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

Did Sir Creep have any dirt on Putin and Trump? Because Navalny is in ICU due to a poisoning too.

And don't believe our media. They have all been hijacked by Putin and his sycophants and turned into tabloid dumpsters. You should believe such sources as Kira's and other Navalny allies' (Vladimir Milov, Leonid Volkov, Lyubov Sobol, Ivan Zhdanov) social media accounts + Dozhd. Also, Navalny doesn't have cerebral edema, he's a very moderate drinker (meaning that he only drinks small portions of champagne, wine or beer on someone's birthday, Easter, Christmas or New Year's Day)and wasn't drinking vodka in a village near Tomsk (a town he's been in before falling ill while on his way to Moscow and landing in Omsk). He's not a drug addict either.

@Putin is that your doing?

Well, you, Westerners, have a penchant for mispronouncing Russian names. For example, you're pronouncing Vladimir as VlUH-da-mer instead of vluh-DEE-meer
