Alexander Murakhovsky, head of the health ministry of the Omsk region, southwestern Siberia and a doctor who treated Russian dissident Alexei Navalny in Siberia after the poisoning, has disappeared. This was announced by Tass citing police sources. Murakhovsky, 49, had left on Friday for a hunting trip in the Omsk region, about 2,200 km east of Moscow: the last time he was seen aboard an off-road vehicle. The doctor's research, says Tass, is still ongoing with several means available including drones, a helicopter and ground volunteers. The doctor was promoted to the post of regional health minister last November.
