In recent reports, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny fell ill and lost consciousness after a trip. Some establishment media outlets aligned with the Kremlin’s messages claimed that he suffered from a blood clot. Despite facing multiple arrests and an assassination attempt in 2020 when he was poisoned with Novichok, a Russian nerve gas, Navalny has remained a prominent figure in the opposition movement against President Vladimir Putin.
Navalny received medical treatment in Germany and upon returning to Russia, he was imprisoned and sentenced to 9 years for allegedly violating the terms of his imprisonment. While in prison, he endured hunger strikes, solitary confinement, and reports of his deteriorating health. However, despite these challenges, Navalny remains an influential figure in Russian politics.
Throughout his ordeal, Navalny’s supporters have rallied behind him, sharing updates on his condition and advocating for his release. Many are closely watching to see how his story will unfold and what impact it will have on the political landscape in Russia.
