Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was recently poisoned by the poison “Novichok”, told Youtube what the first feelings were after the poison began to take effect.
According to Alexei, he felt bad on the plane on the way from Tomsk. To divert attention, the press secretary sitting next door was asked to start talking to him. When the woman began to speak, Navalny saw and heard the speech, but did not understand it.
“I sat and thought about what was going on. My heart, my stomach didn’t hurt … I can usually analyze that my heart, my stomach, my head, something else can hurt. But here you can’t understand,” Navalni said.
Then he decided to go to the facilities, wash his face, but even then he did not get better. The politician remembers how he got out of the toilet and realized that he would not be able to go to his seat on his own and fell on the plane.
He no longer remembers anything.
“A lot of people have asked me what it’s like to die of Novičok, but it’s hard to explain. It’s something you don’t feel in everyday life. Yes, there are things you haven’t experienced in life, like a heart attack or a leg cut. with a saw, but in general you can imagine at least rough feelings.But here it just rains cold sweat, you feel bad.It has been in many lives when they say, I am bad, I will die immediately.But here the feeling – I “I’m coming on top more and more,” said Alexei.
He compares his feelings to a shot from a film about Harry Potter.
“You’re kissed, it doesn’t hurt you, but life goes away. Yes, it doesn’t hurt, but the main feeling that literally eats you is – I’m going to die right away (..) It’s worse than pain,” he stressed.
Alexei adds that he feels much better every day. For the time being, his hands are still shaking, but Navalni is working with a physiotherapist and, as he put it, will soon be fine.
On August 20, Navalny was ill during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow, the pilot made an emergency landing at Omsk airport, and Navalny was taken unconscious to Omsk Hospital with signs of poisoning. On August 22, Navalny was transferred from Russia to Germany, where he was treated by the Charite clinic at the University of Berlin.
On 2 September, Germany stated that indisputable evidence had been obtained that Navalny had been poisoned by a nerve-paralyzing warfare substance belonging to the Novichok group.
This conclusion has also been confirmed by French and Swedish laboratories and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
On September 22, Navalni was discharged from a Berlin hospital.
