Is Konstantin Kudryavtsev Still Alive? 

The whole world is curious to know if Konstantin Kudryavtsev is still alive or dead after he revealed that Alexei Navalny was poisoned by him along with others. However, it remains a mystery as no one actually knows about his whereabouts in 2022. 

As per the reports by Scottish Sun, he disappeared after a phone call in the year 2020. Since there has been no trace of the man whatsoever> the Internet has several theories of its own but none of them are validated.

He was almost outcasted after it was known that he released the information regarding poisoning Navalny. Navalny ally Lyubov Sobol was said to have gone to interview him but she has denied it. 

What Happened To Konstantin Kudryavtsev?

Konstantin Kudryavtsev is the man behind the poisoning of Alexei Navalny and is also a well-known Putin critic. He graduated from the Military Biological-Chemical Academy and worked at the Ministry of Defense’s 42nd (Biological Warfare Defense) Institute afterward.

During a 49-minute phone chat, Kudryavtsev revealed disturbing details about how the opposition leader’s attack was carried out. The spy had no idea that the top FSB officer he was speaking with was actually Navalny himself.

Navalny, posing as “Ustinov Maxim Sergeevich,” questioned Kudryavtsev about why the poisoning scheme failed. His underwear were contaminated with novichok while he was out of his hotel room, according to Kudryavtsev.

On March 3, 2018, double spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with a Soviet-era nerve toxin in Salisbury. The “outcome would have been different” if the jet had not been diverted to Omsk, where Navalny’s life was saved by paramedics, according to Kudryavtsev.
