Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who fell into a coma after a suspected poisoning, landed in Germany for treatment Saturday following a day-long standoff over whether he would be allowed to leave a Russian hospital. “Navalny is in Berlin,” Bizilj said. “He survived the flight and he's stable.”He landed around 9 a.m. Berlin time and was taken to the downtown campus of Berlin's Charite hospital. The dissident has promoted opposition candidates to Russian President Vladimir Putin since he was kept from running against the longtime leader in 2018’s presidential election. He fell ill Thursday while on a flight to Moscow and was taken to a Siberian hospital following an emergency landing.
