Berlin (CNN) For years Leonid Volkov has experienced the same terrifying dream about his best friend and colleague, the leading Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalny. "I used to have a nightmare many times that I wake up from someone calling me and saying, Alexey was killed or something very bad happened to him," Volkov recalls in an interview with CNN. "I had this nightmare at least 10 times in my life." Last week he lived that nightmare. But as Navalny's chief of staff he had a job to do: get him out of Russia and into trusted medical care.
