Open Russia coordinator Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. has been hospitalized, reports RIA Novosti , according to Solidarity activist Ilya Yashin. On February 2, Kara-Murza was supposed to fly to the USA to visit his family. Kara-Murza's acquaintances note that the symptoms of the disease are similar to those that caused him to be hospitalized in May 2015. Then there were suggestions that it was deliberate poisoning. The politician himself spoke about this.
Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Boris Vishnevsky, quoted by RBC, believes that this time there was an assassination attempt. “My only version is related to his activities as the coordinator of Open Russia and as the organizer of the screening of a film about Boris Nemtsov throughout the country, which, to put it mildly, is unpleasant for the current government,” the newspaper reports the words of the deputy.
Kara-Murza's condition is assessed as serious. He is conscious.
“He was admitted to the hospital with low blood pressure and heartbeat. He developed respiratory and renal failure, ” quotes the words of the politician’s wife Yevgenia. ZakS.Ru
