One of Putin's leading critics was just poisoned

WASHINGTON — The wife of a prominent Russian opposition activist who mysteriously fell ill in Moscow this week is seeking his evacuation to Europe or Israel for toxicology tests, saying his condition has not improved.

Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., a former political ally of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, lost consciousness in Moscow on May 26 and was hospitalized with what his wife calls "symptoms of poisoning."

"His condition has not improved since; he has not regained consciousness," his wife, Yevgenia, said in an e-mail to RFE/RL and other media outlets.

She said the hemodialysis he underwent to treat kidney failure "has not had any effect" and asked that he be evacuated by plane from Russia "to a medical center in Europe or Israel where full toxicology testing and treatment can be done."

Kara-Murza’s father, who is also named Vladimir, told RFE/RL's Russian Service on May 28 that "the situation appears to be more serious than we thought."

"His kidneys stopped working in the evening. And Volodya [Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr.] is alive now thanks to an artificial kidney, thanks to hemodialysis, which can lead to lesions of other organs," Vladimir Sr. added. "His lungs are being artificially ventilated. He is connected to 10 devices."

Kara-Murza's father is a journalist with RFE/RL’s Russian Service.

The activist's family has been cautious publicly about whether foul play may have been involved, stressing that so far there is no evidence pointing to such a scenario.

"There is no criminal case so far, none has been opened because he is simply a normal patient who arrived at a Moscow hospital by ambulance. That’s his status, nothing more," his father told the Moscow-based Ekho Moskvy radio on May 28.

Poisoning seems to be an epidemic lately for the Russian opposition to Putin.

Another possibility -

The elder Kara-Murza said Russian doctors believe his son may have ingested a dangerous amount of antidepressants that he may have begun taking after Nemtsov’s murder three months ago.

I guess it is wait and see for the time being.

Every "great" world beater poisoned and killed his opposition just before he went on to try and take over the world.


History is a marvelous thing if people will just learn from it.

Well if you missed it, then none?

Although multiple organ failure but I would have thought they could test for it.

Perfect example of how Proverbs change in modern times. The saying used to be " beware of Greeks bearing gifts" in the 21st-century we need to change that to........." Beware of Russians bearing food and drink" .

As much as I would like to claim credit the phrase was coined by Eugene O'Neill.

◦Swelling can occur around the sore




Inhalation anthrax symptoms can include

•Chest discomfort
•Shortness of breath
•Confusion or dizziness
•Cough

◦Skin and injection site infections associated with injection drug use are common and do not necessarily mean the person has anthrax.

Yes and I am still trying to find out what has happened to Viktor Zolotov , it looks like he's another one. If you have a system that's lets one man rule , he gets isolated, and very dysfunctional.

Aside from the rumor mill about Viktor Zolotov being killed I don't think anyone has seen hide nor hair of him since then. If he is in fact dead then there was more to the time frame where putin was "missing". I am curious if we are seeing the real putin or a body double with the Russian version of weekend at bernies.

a reply to: yuppa

Bingo. Its how they work. Incurable and not super fast AND painful.

a reply to: anonentity

TBH... all reasonable people that understand stats know what happened to Viktor Zolotov.


Putin has no intention of ever stepping down and is readying his satellite countries acquisitions.

Shady. I wonder if it's possible that he's being framed by a particularly ruthless foe.
I mean, Putin is the glaringly obvious culprit for this.

Negative buddy. Anyone that would want to destabilize and weaken Russia would not have taken out these last two opposition leaders.

This is what it seems to be.

Pure speculation by western MSM

And to make things worse, the so called poisoned man has no real support. No need to kill him.

None of these CIA tricks will work,

Westerners simply don't understand the Rissian soul.

With every trick you are making them stronger.
