I-Spy

This story is just getting stranger and stranger. After murdered ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko made a deathbed confession pointing the finger directly at the Kremlin,[1] the Kremlin has responded back and accused Litvinenko’s billionaire friend, Boris Berezovsky[2], a man who has employed and funded the ex-spy. Traces of radioactive polonium-210, which is what killed Litvinenko, were found at the exiled businessman’s London offices.

Adding to the mystery is the sudden illness of former Russian prime minister Yegor Gaidar[3]. It seems that Gaidar came down with a sudden and quite violent illness last week, a DAY after Litvinenko died. While Gaidar’s health has stabilized, the cause is still unidentified.

All of this comes just a little over a month after the murder of Anna Politkovskaya[4], a journalist who was very critical of Putin and his administration.
