Thread: Russia's new approach to dealing with "extremists"

Oh, I agree that it's more than just criticizing Putin, CrossLOPER.

I don't think it's going to wind down any time soon. In fact, I expect it's going to heat up, especially when Scaramella dies which is likely considering his dose.

There have already been links to Yukos, and that makes it something much more than just assassinating outspoken fringe conspiracy theorists.

Roman Tsepov was somehow poisoned in 2004, and his death bears many similarities to Litvinenko. Doctors at the time believed that he had been poisoned with some kind of heavy metal or leukemia drug. But it could very well have been polonium-210 which is indeed a heavy metal, and would have needed the suspicion that it was radiation poisoning to detect. Had Litvinenko's samples not been sent to the AWE, then they wouldn't have known it was polonium-210 either.

Many of the suspicious poisonings over the last few years might have involved radioactive materials. They have all gone unsolved, even the dioxin poisoning of Viktor Yuschenko in thhe Ukraine. In fact, Politskovskaya was believed to have been poisoned during her coverage of Beslan but she recovered, and Yuri Shchekochikhin's death in 2003 because of a "severe allergic reaction" might also be questioned in light of these newer cases.

Also, it appears that various news sources like the Sunday Times are reporting that the Home Office has confirmed that the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has linked the polonium-210 to a particular Russian nuclear power plant. As someone said earlier in the thread, it is possible to determine the original source of a sample of such a highly rare isotope.
