S'ville anti-venom clinic closed until Russian is released.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

So Doroshenko's still in jail, thought he got bail.
Putting the pressure on here...
Sihanoukville’s Doroshenko clan is back in the limelight after appearing in an Apsara Net News video claiming that the jailing of the family’s patriarch, Nikolai Doroshenko, has led to the temporary closure of their snakebite NGO.

Since 2009, Soviet-trained herpetologist Nikolai has run a free snakebite treatment clinic in the seaside province.

But a lack of funds due to Nikolai’s jailing in March means no more anti-venom can be imported from Thailand, while doctors cannot be paid, according to his son Ostap Doroshenko.

“We are waiting for Papa to be released so that we will reopen,” Ostap said in Khmer to the TV presenter. “In Cambodia, we have at least 60 people with snakebites per month sent to our NGO, and we help them.”

Released on Thursday, the Apsara video displayed images of gruesome snakebites along with interviews with former patients.
...
Provincial court chief Mong Mony Chakriya said that despite Polonsky’s deportation, Nikolai’s case was not terminated as the charges against him “have not been dropped by the provincial court’s prosecutor yet”.

He got out a few days back- good luck to him, I've only heard good things about the man.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
