Nerve Poison Developer Says “Sorry” to Navalny | Abroad

“I sincerely apologize to Navalny for taking part in this criminal enterprise, developing the drug with which he was poisoned,” said Vil Mirzajanov on Russian television. Mirzajanov opened a booklet in the 1990s about the development of chemical weapons by his homeland. He currently lives in the United States.

Last month, Navalny had suddenly become very ill aboard a Russian domestic flight. His employees believe he was poisoned from a water bottle in a hotel room. Mirzajanov predicted that the well-known Kremlin critic will recover. According to him, that could take “almost a year”.

Another scientist ruled out in Russian state media on Sunday that Navalny has been exposed to novichok. “If it had been Novichok, he would not have survived,” said Leonid Rink. He also claimed that Mirzajanov was not directly involved in the development of the nerve poison and therefore cannot know its ‘biological effects’.
