Putin critic leaves Russia for treatment after 'poisoning'

A Russian opposition politician who fell into a coma due to poisoning this month has left the country for treatment abroad after his condition improved, his lawyer said Sunday.

"This morning Vladimir Kara-Murza flew out of the country... to go through rehabilitation treatment after his second acute poisoning," lawyer Vadim Prokhorov wrote on his Facebook page.

"The diagnosis in his hospital discharge report is still the same: 'toxic influence of an unknown substance'," he added.

Kara-Murza, 35, previously experienced sharp deterioration of health due to poisoning two years ago, which included kidney failure and nearly killed him.

Kara-Murza is 35 years old! That is the normal age for people to start having multiple catastrophic organ failure!

Seriously though, you have to be pretty damn brave to publicly oppose Putin.

dump is emulating his idol in many respects, including attempting to turn the country over to oligarchs, lock, stock and barrel (gun reference there and it stays).

There are some lines he hasn't crossed, yet, but you know he wants to. This is one of them. Since he can't poison his opposition literally, he's trying to do it figuratively, by demonizing the press and opponents to his idiot followers.
