Kremlin critic Alexei Navalyn released from German hospital after 32 days
Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has been discharged from the hospital in Berlin where he has been treated after falling ill on a domestic flight in Siberia last month and then being airlifted to Berlin while still in a coma. "The patient's condition had improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care," the Charite hospital said in a statement.

The Charite hospital in Berlin said Wednesday that after 32 days in care, Navalny's condition "improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care." The hospital said that Navalny had been discharged on Tuesday.
The hospital says that "based on the patient's progress and current condition, the treating physicians believe that complete recovery is possible," but that it's still too early to gauge the potential long-term effects of his poisoning.
