Prominent Putin critic Alexey Navalny was poisoned, his doctor insists.
A personal doctor for Russia’s most prominent opposition activist, Alexey Navalny, insists he was deliberately poisoned with a “chemical agent” after he was hospitalized with a sudden skin illness he contracted while in a Moscow jail.
“What happened to Alexey was a toxic reaction to an unknown chemical agent,” Vasilyeva said."Alexey has had negative allergy tests for his whole life. He is in principle not allergic. At all." “What kind of chemical agent prompted the contact dermatitis? she said. “What was the toxic agent? Nobody knows, and mostly importantly nobody wants to know. That's the issue.”
But while Vasilyeva said the contact dermatitis must have been caused by a chemical, in reality it can be provoked by many things, from common allergens to jewelry and plants. When Navalny was first hospitalized, one of his top lieutenants, Leonid Volkov, said he believed it was more likely the result of unsanitary conditions in the Moscow jail than poisoning.
