Litvinenko - murdered on Putins orders

[Toro]

Thursday’s official British report into the polonium murder of dissident Alexander Litvinenko finds that Vladimir Putin “probably approved” the killing.

Along the way, in his inquiry on behalf of the British government, retired judge Robert Owen provides the closest thing to an official inquiry we’re likely to get into the 1999 apartment bombings that killed nearly 300 Russians and propelled Mr. Putin to the presidency.

Though strangely unmentioned in many press reports this week, Litvinenko’s own book, “Blowing Up Russia,” was cited by Mr. Owen as a key motive for his assassination. The book lays the blame for the attacks at the feet of Russia’s security services. Judge Owen not only calls the book a “product of careful research,” but goes out of his way to enumerate the murders, suspicious deaths and arrests of others who tried to investigate the bombings.

Indeed, only missing from his report, perhaps because he was investigating Litvinenko’s death, not the bombings, was this piquant fact: The bombings promptly halted after Russian security personnel were caught planting explosives in an apartment block in the city of Ryazan, in what Moscow later claimed was a training exercise.

PBS’s “Frontline,” in a profile of Mr. Putin last year, didn’t duck from the implications of Ryazan. Numerous tomes have been written, including one by the Hoover Institution’s John Dunlop, which the New York Review of Books said presented an “overwhelming case.” ...​

Is the West’s Putin Silence Over?

Nazi with Poroshenko-Ripper mass killing civilian people in Donbass and in all Ukraine at every day, but you worry about one Litvinenko... He just avoided arrest by his death - because he was in international gang of swindlers and thiefs, like Beresovsky and so on. And also 100% he took a part in secret anti-Russian game - because in other case British government didn't gave him visa - English are not a fools and don't want any thiefs in Britain without some benefit from them...

U.S. 'deep-state' infiltrated Frontline on that profile. I saw it and came to the conclusion that when Frontline becomes propagandized, there is little to slim hope for our media........and Slim left town.

President Putin 'probably' approved Litvinenko murder - BBC News

Nothing going to happen.

Alexander Litvinenko was a Traitor, he was working for MI6, this is Treason. So, tough crap.

The story about Litvinenko in my opinion leads to an important conclusion:

If you are a Russian citizen and want to defect to West for some reason, you should be prepared that somebody may take advantage of your unexpected death “under the mysterious circumstances” and use it against your Motherland Russia and its president when needed. Sometimes even repeatedly.

BTW, two key witnesses in the case - Litvinenko’s patron Berezovsky (another fomer Russian citizen and a traitor!) and the owner of the restaurant where Litvinenko is presumed to have been poisoned – both died under dubious circumstances. Western leaders/Media prefer to be silent about that.
