However, the journalist and radio presenter of the Echo of Moskvy station denied that her health condition was related to Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s forum. “I didn’t feel bad at the forum, after the forum and so on. Everything that happened to me started a few months before,” she wrote Babloyanová.
According to her, journalists tried to connect two unrelated events. But she doesn’t even know yet if it’s really poisoning. “Is it poisoning? Not much can be said yet, and it is certainly not possible to say that it is poisoning. The doctors from Charité are taking care of me diligently. (For which I owe them a big thank you),” she added.
Several opponents of the Kremlin have been poisoned abroad in recent years. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was treated in Russia and later in Germany at the same clinic as the journalist after he was poisoned in Siberia in 2020. In 2018, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Britain.
In both cases, a Russian nerve agent from the novichok group was used, but in all cases the Kremlin denies its participation in these attacks.
