Anti-Kremlin Activist Apparently Poisoned in Moscow

|Updated:

A prominent ant-Kremlin activist who was apparently poisoned in Moscow was saved by prompt medical treatment, his Berlin doctors claim.

Pyotr Verzilov publishes an online Russian-language news portal–and has close ties with the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, Reuters reported. He participated in—and was jailed for—an incident during the 2018 World Cup soccer match when he and three female Pussy Riot members, dressed as police officers, rushed onto the pitch and disrupted the match.
