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.

Yevgenia Kara-Murza told RFE/RL on February 2 that her husband had been traveling around Russia in recent weeks, conducting screenings of a documentary about former Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead outside the Kremlin in February 2015, and working with Open Russia representatives.

    One thing we learned when we did humanitarian work in Russia is that the KGB never changes. It changes like a chameleon, but it is still the same animal (serpent). Trump had better be careful.

    Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
