Alexei Navalny Out of Induced Coma as He Continues Recovery from Poisoning
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Germany, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is out of an
induced coma and responsive, according to the Berlin hospital treating
him. Navalny, a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was
poisoned last month with Novichok, a banned military-grade nerve agent,
and airlifted to a hospital in Germany. The Kremlin has denied any
responsibility for Navalny's poisoning.
