The photo shows him being given a hug by his wife Yulia and flanked by his two children as he sits upright in his bed in a hospital gown. “I have been missing you. I still can’t do almost anything on my own, but yesterday I managed to breathe on my own for the entire day,” he added in the post, which got over 1.1 million likes in several hours. Separately, Navalny’s spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh tweeted that once he has recovered, Navalny plans to return to Russia, where he has supported opposition candidates and waged anti- corruption battles. “No other option has ever been considered,” she wrote. Navalny fell ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow on August 20 and was treated at a hospital in the city of Omsk. Two days later, he was flown to the German hospital, where he was kept in an induced coma for more than two weeks as he was treated with an antidote.
