  Anna Politkovskaya, an investigative journalist and fierce critic of the Kremlin, fell gravely ill in 2004 after drinking tea on  another domestic flight.  She recovered from what she believed was poisoning, only to be shot dead two years later in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment.

  In 2015 another opposition activist, Vladimir Kara-Murza, fell into a weeklong coma in Moscow and later said he believed he had ingested poison on an Aeroflot flight.  Mr. Kara-Murza said he was poisoned a second time, in 2017, while traveling in Russia to show a documentary about another Russian politician, Boris Y. Nemtsov, who had been shot and killed two years earlier on a Moscow bridge just yards from the Kremlin.

  Last year, after his arrest for leading an unauthorized protest in Moscow, Mr. Navalny fell so ill while in jail that he had to be hospitalized for a mysterious “severe allergic reaction.”  A generally healthy 44-year-old, he has no history of allergies and many, including Dr. Vasilyeva, suspected poison then, too.

  Within a few hours of Mr. Navalny being rushed to the hospital in Omsk there were already signs that his illness would be quickly enveloped in a fog of disinformation and wild conspiracy theories--the Kremlin’s response to nearly all potentially embarrassing scandals.

  Ms. Yarmysh, Mr. Navalny’s spokeswoman, responded on Twitter by asking, “If law enforcement agencies are not looking into intentional poisoning, why are there so many cops in the hospital?”

  A news agency linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, an associate of Mr. Putin from St. Petersburg who controls a network of media outlets known for disinformation, reported that Mr. Navalny probably fell ill because he was a drug addict.  There is no evidence that Mr. Navalny uses drugs.  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/world/europe/navalny-poison-russia.html
