Navalny is not only Russia's leading opposition politician — he's also, in effect, one of the country's top investigative journalists.

His video investigations, which are always exceptionally produced to be clear and understandable to ordinary people, are exemplars of the genre
He follows the money, highlights unearned wealth, and explains how it all fits into the corrupt system Putin has built. He has enemies everywhere, and not just at the very top.
That's why it's *way* too early to speculate about who may have poisoned him (if indeed he really was poisoned!).

Just please don't jump to "PUTIN DID THIS" without evidence. That's not always how things work, and this may indeed prove to be very awkward and tricky for Putin.
In any case, very little is known so far. But we can all join many Russian citizens today in wishing him a speedy recovery and thinking of his family.
