[speaking russian] reporter: his youngest fans have turned to tiktok, which has been crucial in spreading the word. reporter: navalny has posted hundreds of videos

about his corruption investigations, and they're wildly popular. alexei navalny: [speaking russian] reporter: the kremlin hates navalny so much that they literally refuse to say his name. vladimir putin: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] our office raided and they just confiscated

everything, everything. they splashed a toxic liquid into my face, and my first thought was, jesus, i will be kind of monster until the end of my days. police: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] as i became more and more famous guy, i was totally sure that my life became safer and safer because i'm kind of famous guy. and it will be problematic for them just to kill me. daniel roher: and boy, were you wrong. alexei navalny: yes, i was very wrong.

why is there a kind of-- i even have this strange feeling like lack of respect. seriously? i'm here, and where is my police? the whole trip was the smoothest trip i ever had in regions. i am a slave of thursdays because on thursday, i have my online youtube show. and then weekend, i can spend with my family before another trip to another region. i was going home and then i died. reporter: passengers on his flight from siberia heard alexei navalny cry out in agony.

the main opposition figure? i was skeptical. i thought, hmm, maybe it's one of the many oligarchs on whose feet he has stepped. either it's a state-ordered attack, or it is somebody who is trying to assassinate opposition figures in order to appease putin. reporter: the closest anyone's come to tracing a poisoning to vladimir putin, the 2018 attack in salisbury, england. reporter: a defiant kremlin insisting again that it had nothing to do with a brazen assassination attempt of former russian spy sergei skripal. reporter: skripal was poisoned by the military grade nerve agent novichok. christo grozev: the insidiousness of novichok is that it actually starts switching off your nerve connectors in your body one by one. if it's dosed properly, it will just turn you off as a body, but then within hours, any trace of it will disappear. so it will always forever look like it was a natural death. and this is why it appears to be the preferred form of killing

for people whose death will be in the public scrutiny such as navalny. there was a lot of pressure for us to start investigating. media partners in russia reached out to us and said, can you help? we looked at it and we thought there's no hope in hell. we can investigate the crime that happened in russia in the remote corners of siberia sitting here comfortably in europe. we didn't even try in the beginning. reporter: alexei navalny arrives at this hospital in berlin with his wife, yulia.

a spokesperson tweeted, "the struggle for alexei's life and health is just beginning." here at the hospital, both inside and out, he'll be watched. yulia navalny: [speaking russian] dasha navalny: to have your dad, an opposition leader,

being poisoned by we don't know what, we don't know how, we don't know when, and just be in a random hospital, it was just-- it was surreal. it was literally like a book. leonid volkov: [speaking russian] the doctor said charity can't say anything about his brain to which extent he will recover even if they managed to wake him up. many millions of navalny supporters were trying to figure out how to help. we, in berlin, our small team, we had to dive into actually getting things done. maria pevchikh: we all were very skeptical about investigating alexei's poisoning. as opposed to previous cases, this poisoning took place on the russian soil.

so no one is going to share cctv footage with us. we're not going to have fancy videos from the airport where the poisoners fly in and out. and as much as it hurts to admit, while putin is in power, we'll never find out the truth. reporter: yulia, how is your husband this morning? yulia navalny: [speaking russian] leonid volkov: it was so crazy. like, it's putin's signature poison. yulia navalny: [speaking russian] leonid volkov: we were actually so shocked that he didn't just decided to murder him but to poison, and not just to poison, but exactly this novichok was like, really, like, leaving a signature on the crime scene.

when you come to a room of a comatose patient, you start doing-- you just telling him the news, telling him his story. alexie, don't worry. you were poisoned. there was a murder attempt. putin tried to kill you with novichok. and he opened his like blue eyes wide and looked at me and said very clear-- [speaking russian] alexei navalny: come on, poisoned? i don't believe it. leonid volkov: like, he's back. this is alexei. alexei navalny: putin's supposed to be not so stupid to use this novichok. leonid volkov: his wording, his expletive, his intonation. alexei navalny: if you want to kill someone, just shoot him, jesus christ. leonid volkov: like, real alexei. alexei navalny: it's impossible to believe it. it's kind of stupid. the whole idea of poisoning with a chemical weapon, what the [bleep]? this is why this is so smart because even reasonable people,

with a little bit of almost autistic-like fascination with numbers. every time you use your email, you make a phone call, make a doctor's appointment, take a plane or a train, anytime you use the atm, every time you actually look at the screen of your phone, that leaves a trace. in place like russia, imagine, the person who works at a travel agency that has access to the flight manifest, they're getting, what, $25 a day as a salary? and then for another $25, they would be able to sell that flight manifest to anybody who asks for it just because they'll double their income for the day. this is a whole industry. data brokers are on the dark web. you negotiate a price, and within a few minutes, they say, yeah, i can get that data for you by tomorrow. and then you have to send bitcoin. now, bellingcat can't pay for that data because it's a foundation. so i have to pay for that data myself. over the last five years of me working on data journalism, i would say i've spent $150,000.

my wife has no idea about this. my wife suspects i've spent probably $2,000 or $3,000. if she knew the real quantum, she wouldn't be my wife daniel roher: but she's gonna watching the movie. christo grozev: she's not watching this movie. daniel roher: and you just outed yourself. christo grozev: i'm absolutely sure. she's not watching this movie now. alexei navalny: [speaking russian] leonid volkov: our expectation was once he is released from intensive care, he will have a desire to go to russia immediately. to our great relief, he told me, i better spend several

months here. i want to go back to russia strong and fully recovered. zakhar navalny: [speaking russian] christo grozev: for the longest time, i wasn't sure what to make of navalny. i'd always wondered how much of an independent thinker he is, or is he one of the many fake opposition figure created by the kremlin? i criticized him on twitter. i mean, he was known for having flirted with the extreme right in the early days of his career.

he walked side by side with some pretty nasty nationalist and racist. had he moved beyond that? had he actually become a reverse dark knight? host: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] crowd: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] crowd: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] crowd: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: [speaking russian] crowd: [speaking russian] alexei navalny: within all my career, i've been asked the same 15 questions all the time. are you afraid? are you working for kremlin?

what is your family doing? you have a responsibility for your family. when if it's foreign journalists, they're asking about nationalism and russian march, and every one of them, jesus christ just watch previous interviews. daniel roher: hold on. were there not a couple of sieg heilers at that thing? alexei navalny: sorry. daniel roher: were there not a couple of nazi guys at that march? but certainly, sieg heiler would be a different category that you would not want to associate with or march beside? alexei navalny: well, in the normal world, in the normal political system, of course, i would never be in the same political party with them, but we are creating coalition, broader coalition, to fight authoritarian regime just to achieve the situation where everyone can participate in election. daniel roher: because a lot of politicians will be uncomfortable even associating or being in the same photograph with one of these guys. alexei navalny: no. daniel roher: you're comfortable with that? alexei navalny: i'm ok with that. and i consider it's my political superpower.

i can talk to everyone. anyway, well, they are citizens of russian federation. and if i want to fight putin, if i want to be a leader of a country, i cannot just ignore the huge part of it. well, there are a lot of people who call themselves nationalists. ok, let's discuss it. we live in the country when they are poisoning politicians, and killing people, and arresting people for nothing. so, of course, i'm totally fine to sit with the guy who's rally looks kind of not very good for me.

[speaking russian] christo grozev: the russian media didn't find anything, and german investigators didn't have the jurisdiction. so we realized there's nobody who is going to actually actively investigate this, unless we jump into this. we knew that the poison was novichok, and novichok, we had proven in the previous investigation

is only manufactured in this facility called the signal institute. the signal institute in moscow works under the guise of a r&d center that develops advanced form of sports nutrition drinks. that's the legend. yet they employ, for this work, 12 scientists whose only experience and background is in chemical weapons. our hypothesis, this is the entity that actually provides the poison for the killers who travel around the world poisoning people with novichok. so what we did is we bought, from the russian black market, the phone records for the head of the signal institute. we looked at numbers that only appear just before the poisoning of navalny, and those were suspicious. but once we have a suspicious number, you go through a number of russian apps that allow you to see how that phone number is listed

in other people's phone books. so for example, i put in my number, and it will show up as "christo the journalist from bellingcat" because somebody would have put my name into their phone book and that description would have been shared into this app. first number i looked up showed up as alexei doctor from fsb. well, that was interesting, a doctor from fsb, alexei, but that was not enough. we couldn't place a real person behind this name. then i would look up if this number showed up in any car registration databases. and we found out an actual alexei alexandrov who owns a car. and this number was listed for contacting that person. so then you have a real person with a birth date. then you look up his passport file. you see his face. and you repeat that many times with the other suspicious numbers. and then you have a short list of interesting people. and these became our prime suspects. now, we knew when navalny had traveled to siberia.

we had the actual passenger manifest of six different flights that had flown into novosibirsk where navalny flew from moscow on the day before, during, and after the day on which he arrived there. so we needed to see if any of those suspicious people traveled to siberia at the time of the poisoning. and we found an overlap. we found a nest of wasps. we didn't know existed. it's a domestic assassination machine on an industrial scale. i was absolutely shocked that this was so fast and the whole plot disentangled so quickly. so i just reached out via twitter and said alexei, i think we may have found who poisoned you. alexei navalny: after i went out of the hospital, i decided to move in the black forest and live in some small village. you can just walk for hours and not meet any person at all.

these are my german friends, actually. little pony is my friend and donkey is yulia's friend. and this is a routine of our walk. come here, my little pony. isn't he sweet? better than your donkey. come here. yulia navalny: everybody likes this small pony. it's like usual, but donkeys-- alexei navalny: come to me. you're scaring him. go away. go away. poor guy. donkey, of course, you like me. oh, come on. this is a very evil woman. oh, come on, my mighty horse. come here. more carrots. you will grow big. they are cute, but they are not very smart. so they decided for their fence not to provide electricity. yulia navalny: don't do it.

it turns out-- and i was very surprised-- that the whole thing about bellingcat is just one smart guy, no cia involved, no mi6. he's just a nice and very kind bulgarian nerd with a laptop. jessie loves playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so, we switched to tide pods free & gentle.

they start to talk much more after the chernobyl disaster, because actually, my father and his family, they are from chernobyl, from the small village two kilometers away. so i would say 10 kilometers away from the nuclear station. everyone knows that it was an explosion of the nuclear station, but news keeping silence. and so all these nuclear and radioactive dust was on these fields. and they were forced to go to plant potatoes just to prevent rumors just to explain population that everything is fine. everything is ok. go and work to the fields. and with the first appearance of putin on the screen, i just felt it. i have this same feeling like i'm watching tv and i'm watching political leader. and he's looking in my eyes and lying to me.
