Russian Opposition Politician Poisoned

Kira Yarmysh said on Twitter that Navalny, 44, started to feel ill during a flight to Moscow from the Siberian city of Tomsk, leading the pilot to make an emergency landing in Omsk, where he was taken to a hospital and was on a ventilator.' WP

He had made world news headlines the week prior.

I was amazed at how out-spoken he was, thought about the female news media woman that was gunned down about 3 years ago in Moscow.
