On the morning of Aug. 20, prominent Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny and two of his aides stopped at a cafe in Russia’s Tomsk Airport before their flight to Moscow. Navalny got tea — the only thing his spokeswoman saw him eat or drink that day. Doctors have cautioned, however, that it’s unclear what the long-term effects will be to Navalny’s nervous system. The Washington Post analyzed videos and photos — a mix of open-source material, social media posts and flight paths — to retrace his steps in the days leading up to his suspected poisoning. Navalny had been in Novosibirsk and then Tomsk to meet with activists and opposition candidates for regional elections next month.
