Alexei Navalny posted his conversation with the alleged poisoner. According to the oppositionist, he contacted one of the heroes of the recent investigation - military chemist Konstantin Kudryavtsev - and asked him questions about what was happening in Omsk and Tomsk. He allegedly told some details of what happened. In the first three hours, the video scored almost 4 million views on YouTube. This follows from the internal statistics of the video service, which were posted by the oppositionist's associates.
The conversation between the politician and the one who, as he claims, tried to kill him, lasted 45 minutes. According to this information, Navalny called Kudryavtsev at 7 a.m. on December 14, several hours before the publication of the first part of the Bellingcat-Insider investigation . For the conversation, he took a program that prankers use: the number was changed to a familiar one to Kudryavtsev. Navalny introduced himself as Assistant Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev and explained that he was preparing a report to the leadership on the failure of the operation.
The alleged poisoner said that the main reason for the "failure" is the quick reaction of the pilots, who immediately landed the plane, as well as the correct actions of the doctors who injected Navalny with an antidote. He also said that the poison was on the inner seams of Navalny's panties, and after his hospitalization, it was the Tomsk transport police that handed over the opposition's clothes to the FSB officers. Kudryavtsev himself was allegedly among those who treated Navalny's clothes with solutions to remove traces of the poison.
However, there is no evidence that Navalny spoke with a special service officer, Kudryavtsev. Experts have several questions about the published post. Firstly, how can an FSB officer post such details over the phone, and secondly, how can one believe in the preparation of a report four months after the incident?
Later, in the meantime, commented on the FSB. They say it is a fake. According to the service, this is a planned provocation, the goal is to discredit the FSB of Russia and its employees. It was impossible to carry out this "investigation" without the organizational and technical support of foreign special services, they say. The use of substitution of the subscriber number is the reception of foreign special services, which has been repeatedly tested in anti-Russian actions, the representatives of the department said. The security officials will conduct an inspection and give a procedural assessment based on its results.
The presented conversation is something from the field of surrealism, says Konstantin Simonov, General Director of the National Energy Security Fund:
Konstantin Simonov General Director of the National Energy Security Fund "Acting FSB officer after a gigantic scandal, after which he must go to the bottom, change all appearances, surnames, change sex, just a person calls on the phone, and he tells him for 50 minutes how they poured" Novice "in panties to Navalny. Moreover, they introduced themselves to him as some unknown assistant Patrushev, and he did not even check whether there was such a person. Of course, it looks like sheer surrealism. Ten FSB officers have been chasing Navalny for three years, nothing works for them, a whole medical institute works for them, they use telephones that are registered in their name, they fly with real documents, one is registered at an address just in Lubyanka. There is a feeling like in films - Mr. Bean serves in some organs like this. To top it off, Navalny has been demanding clothes all this time, and then it turns out that all clothes are soaked in Novichok. And in this situation, of course, an ordinary person is in such a feeling of surrender, when, on the one hand, they offer a version that is overgrown with some completely wild details, and on the other hand, at first, they also offered wild versions, and then they just gave up, they said : "Yes, in general, we will not comment on anything, would like to kill - killed." And until the authorities state their alternative intelligible point of view, I think we will hear more details. " which is overgrown with some completely wild details, but on the other hand, at first they also offered wild versions, and then they simply gave up on it, said: "Yes, in general, we will not comment on anything, we would like to kill - killed." And until the authorities state their alternative intelligible point of view, I think we will hear more new details.

CNN , which was also involved in the Bellingcat and Insider investigation, calls the recording of the conversation "the first direct evidence" of FSB involvement in the assassination attempt. The TV channel also notes that Navalny called all employees from the alleged group, but everyone hung up - the politician introduced himself by his name. However, in the case of Kudryavtsev, he made an exception.
The most noticeable reaction to the published conversation so far can be traced only on social networks. Users practice jokes: they compare Navalny with the famous pranksters Vovan and Lexus, remember the conversation between Nick and Mike, and wonder how the FSB officer who had been following Navalny for three years did not recognize him during the conversation. FBK press secretary Kira Yarmysh also said in a conversation with reporters that she did not understand this. According to her, no one expected the dialogue to last longer than a few seconds.
A conversation of this kind could be in reality, but only if the alleged Kudryavtsev is an actor, says Alexander Mikhailov , a member of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy .
- First of all, what kind of fool would call on an open connection, are you laughing or what? Normal people do not speak openly, any management does not speak openly. As a rule, no one goes to the employee, as you understand, because there is always his management.
- The conversation took place with the substitution of the phone number. Couldn't this have affected?
- This is bullshit. We can change the number in any zone, including the Butyrka prison. The fact that there is generally some kind of open communication is going on - are you laughing or what? This doesn't happen.
- Can't you tell the first person you meet?
- That's what I'm talking about, that's what I'm talking about. Therefore, I treat this story with a high degree of skepticism. This can be, if on the other side a familiar sidekick is sitting, who graduated from the Shchukin school.
Based on the results of the published record, it remains unclear what eventually became of Alexei Navalny's clothes. Her oppositionist was never returned. According to the conversation, it can be assumed that after cleaning it was lost somewhere in the Tomsk transport prosecutor's office.
