A
doctor who was in charge of treating Alexei Navalny in Russia soon
after he was poisoned with novichok has died suddenly aged 55.
Dr Sergei Maksimishin was in charge of intensive care at
the Omsk hospital where the opposition leader was taken after he became
seriously ill on a plane which was forced to make an emergency landing.
The Omsk hospital and the Russian authorities
strongly denied that Navalny showed any signs of nerve agent poisoning but the
Putin critic then flew to Germany for life-saving treatment where
doctors detected novichok.
Maksimishin died in the intensive care unit where Navalny was
treated and it is not believed he contracted Covid-19.
