those two novichok victims are exactly the type of people who the Tory government have been trying to kill off themselves for the last 8 years. But they get upset when other ppl do it!

Неделю назад, перед публикацией видео об отравителях из ФСБ, я сел за телефон и начал звонить своим убийцам. С одним из них я говорил 45 минут. Теперь мы знаем очень многое:https://t.co/cEi8rbgxO4— Alexey Navalny (@navalny) December 21, 2020
"A week ago, before publishing a video about the FSB poisoners, I sat down at the phone and started calling my killers. I spoke with one of them for 45 minutes. Now we know a lot"
