Navalny, in a message on Instagram via his lawyer, said he wanted people to know he was in good physical and mental health.
“Just in case, I am announcing that I don’t plan to either hang myself on a window grill or cut my veins or throat open with a sharpened spoon,” the post said.
“I use the staircase very carefully. They measure my blood pressure every day and it’s like a cosmonaut’s so a sudden heart attack is ruled out. I know for a fact that there are many good people outside my prison and that help will come,” he wrote.
The poisoning and arrest of the opposition leader set off nationwide protests, beginning in the Far East, where people braved temperatures of minus 60 degrees. Thousands gathered in central Moscow, planning to march to the Kremlin as riot police officers detained scores of demonstrators.

That's -60 Fahrenheit. Scared me for a minute.
That's -51°C, which is still insanely cold.
