A Kremlin critic whose sudden and severe illness in 2015 led to suspicions that he had been poisoned is on life support in a Moscow hospital with similar symptoms, his wife told RFE/RL.
Vladimir Kara-Murza, Jr., was hospitalized early on February 2 and placed in an intensive-care unit “with symptoms similar to those he had two years ago,” Yevgenia Kara-Murza said in a Facebook message.

Kara-Murza is a coordinator for former tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s nongovernmental organization, Open Russia. He has also been a spokesman for the Russian political opposition in Washington, where he has advocated for sanctions against Russian officials and media executives before U.S. lawmakers.
A dual Russian-British citizen, Kara-Murza splits his time between Russia and Centreville, Virginia, a Washington suburb where he resides with his wife and three children.
