Original Text


The plane on which my father had collapsed had to make an emergency landing in a city in Siberia. And after two days, an international uproar and my mom fighting tooth and nail to get him out of there, he was finally transferred to the clinic called Charité in Berlin, Germany. There, at the special laboratory of the German armed forces, they confirmed that he was indeed poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent of the Novichok group. He spent three weeks in a coma. And after months and months of recovery, he went back to work with the Anti-Corruption Foundation.

(Applause)
