Russian opponent Alexeï Navalny, hospitalized since August 22 in Berlin and allegedly poisoned in Novichok, was released from the hospital on Tuesday and full recovery is possible, the Charité hospital announced on Wednesday.

“The patient's state of health has improved to the point that intensive care could be interrupted” after thirty-two days of hospitalization, the hospital, one of the most famous in the world, said in a statement.

"In view of the course of the treatment at this stage and the current condition of the patient, the doctors consider that a full recovery is possible", added the Berlin hospital.

"The possible long-term consequences of severe poisoning can only be assessed during the rest of the treatment", he warned, however.

The number one opponent in the Kremlin has posted several photos of him in recent days, including one with his wife on a balcony of the hospital, where he appears emaciated and eyes darkened.

Several German, French and Swedish specialist laboratories determined that he had indeed been the victim of poisoning with a Novichok-type nerve agent, which Moscow disputes.

According to the support of Alexeï Navalny, traces of Novichok were notably found on a bottle of water collected in his hotel room in Siberia.

Victim of discomfort during a flight in Russia on August 20, Alexeï Navalny was first admitted to a Siberian establishment before being transferred to Germany.
