Moscow said it had yet to see evidence of a crime and has declined to open an investigation, instead opening a pre-investigation probe. The Kremlin has denied any involvement.
“Based on the patient's progress and current condition, the treating physicians believe that complete recovery is possible. However, it remains too early to gauge the potential long-term effects of his severe poisoning,” the hospital said.
Navalny received treatment at the Charite hospital for a total of 32 days, of which 24 days were spent in intensive care.
“The decision to make details of Mr Navalny's condition public was made in consultation with the patient and his wife,” the hospital said.
In a post on his Instagram feed on Saturday, Navalny said he had difficulties using his phone, pouring water or climbing stairs because his hands failed him and his legs trembled.
On Monday, Navalny told Russia to hand over the clothes he was wearing when he fell into the coma last month and accused Moscow of withholding an important piece of evidence in his case.

“The patient's condition had improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care,” the Charité hospital said on Wednesday.
