Navalny, the leading opponent of Russian President Vladimir
Putin, fell ill in Siberia last month and was airlifted to
Berlin. Germany says laboratory tests in three countries have
determined he was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, and
Western governments have demanded an explanation from Russia.
"Let me tell how my recovery is going. It is already a clear
path although a long one," Navalny wrote.
Navalny said in the Instagram update he still could not use his
phone and had difficulties trying to pour water into his glass
or climbing stairs because his legs trembled.
"There are many problems yet to be solved but amazing doctors
from the Charite hospital have solved the main one," the post
said.
"They turned me from a 'technically alive human being' into
someone who has high chances to become... a man who can quickly
scroll Instagram and understands without thinking where to put
his likes."
