POISON(S): Putin's Invisible Chemical Invasion // EXCLUSIVE

Published 2024-06-18
2006. Alexander Litvinenko, the husband of Marina Litvinenko, was poisoned with radioactive polonium. After three weeks of excruciating suffering, he died accusing a man: Vladimir Putin. The photo of his beardless face, destroyed by the poison, travelled around the world. Alexander Litvinenko was a former agent of the FSB, the Russian security services of which Vladimir Putin had taken the head shortly before his accession to power. In the year 2000, Litvinenko had publicly denounced the collusion of his hierarchy with the mafia, via a filmed press conference where all appear masked, except him, speaking in the center. Then he fled with wife and child to London.

There, although regularly harassed and threatened at home, Alexander Litvinenko continued his fight to denounce the corruption of Vladimir Putin and those around him, and his criminal involvement in the attacks that ravaged Moscow in the fall of 1999. A system of corruption and stifling of civil society witnessed first handly by Vladimir Kara-Murza. At the time, he was a historian and entered politics alongside Boris Nemtsov, Putin’s main opponent. At the same time, William Browder, a British businessman who made his fortune with the opening of Russia to capitalism, begins to wonder about the corruption that has been spreading since Vladimir Putin became president. He is expelled from Russia. His company’s assets are seized.

  • He who sows the seeds of murder and pain, will not reap the fruits of peace and love...

    Let us first concentrate on how americans and europeans deal with similar situations? Do we? I'm waiting for the next doc.
  • How many have been tortured and have disappeared in US black sites since Vietnam? Two sides to every coin.

    This is an amazing documentary about a specific tool being used by the post-soviet regime/government as well as that government's secret service & intelligence bureau. These are very recent incidents for all the world to hear about. The only thing i would have added would have been the background history of the use of poison in general as a tool to murder dissidents around the world. Because I'm under the impression its been a constant for centuries against political oppressions and critics against a regime in power. A very interesting perspective is realized pointing out that many traditions are kept in that part of the world even down to the tradition of how to kill an individual. Its traditional to use poison to kill in Russia history.

    Waiting on Russian media to tell us what the west/Europe was doing at that time. Equality is justice.
  • And look where it got Europe wanting to maintain relations with Putin, an outbreak of war in Europe to endanger the whole continent, not only that but wishing they had included Ukraine into NATO when the threat was clear and should have been so obvious to anyone, also good on you William Browder for taking action to be able to do something and rightfully disrupt such a nefarious regime.
