According to the data coming from the Berlin clinic Charite, the doctors brought the Russian opposition politician Alexey Navalny out of a drug-induced coma and disconnected him from the lung ventilation. Alexey Navalny has been in a coma since August 20, when he became ill on board a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow.

"Alexey Navalny's condition has improved, now he reacts to the speech", - the Kommersant newspaper reports. However, the long-term consequences of the incident on his health still cannot be ruled out.

After Alexey Navalny felt bad on the board of the plane, the pilots urgently landed in Omsk, the politician spent two days in a hospital in that city, then he was taken to the Berlin clinic Charite. Last Wednesday Angela Merkel said that traces of the poisoning with the Novichok toxic warfare group's agent had been found in the organism of Alexey Navalny. About him first became widely known after the poisoning in March 2018 in the UK of ex-GRU colonel Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Russian doctors who treated Alexey Navalny in Omsk claim that they did not see symptoms of poisoning.

German doctors do not object to the re-examination of Alexey Navalny, but this can only be done with the permission of his relatives. This statement was made in the Federal Association of Doctors of Germany after the proposal of the President of the National Medical Chamber of Russia, Leonid Roshal, to jointly assess the health of the politician.
