FOX reporting the dose of Polonium massive!
> The guy sure looks like what I think a KGB should look like. <
Don't be naive. The KGB was shrewd enough to realize that their agents shouldn't look like the "typical" spy.
Many years ago, I was acquainted very casually with an ex-KGB agent (a defector). When I eventually learned about his infamous past, my immediate reaction was, "He sure doesn't look it." To which an elderly and wise Kremlinologist friend replied, "Of course not!"
The US Congress published over 800 pages of documentation on Russias murder of 10 million over 20 years ago and the Kremlin still denies that too!==
In 1930th Russia didn't exist. The famine in Ukraine was exercised by members of Ukranian communist party under leadership of georgian Stalin. What non existent Russia has to do with that?
That being the case, I wonder why it was not identified sooner.
Then you didn't look very hard. You should have seen the soul of Josef Stalin. Ask Trotsky, the guy over there with the ice pick in his brain.
The case you are talking about was elected as leader of one of the republics that split off from the USSR. I think he had an American wife, but I can't remember his name.
Oh - I thought it was a lack of adequate coffee intake on my part.
Speaking of which, who handles that for the Russians these days, outside of Russia? SVR, FSB, or GRU? Mafiya? Someone else?==
Oligarkhs like Berezovskii. Accually Litvinenko is his minion.
This is all very James Bondish, isn't it?
Poor spy, at least he went quickly. I'm curious as to how this was discovered? In autopsy, did he start glowing when the fluoroscope was passed over his body?
His name was Yushchenko, from the Ukraine. The one who was poisoned by dioxin.
I'm not being naive about it. I didn't say all KGB agents look like KGB agents. I said THIS guy in the photo looks like what I think a KBG agent should look like. The fact that his hair is gone and he is dying might change his looks. If I were casting a typically obvious KGB agent for a movie, this is the look I would go for. If I were the KGB, of course I wouldn't want the obvious look.
President Bush gets incorrectly criticized for alot. His eyes gazing into the window of Putin's soul though is pretty bad though. My goodness Putin is a thug.
I'll repost it separately
It was Yuschenko. I probably butchered the spelling of his name. ;)
Yes indeed!
Pictures of Yushchenko here:

Plus a story of the poisoning.
How does one hope to deliver such a poison without being poisoned?It is an alpha emitter—that means it is perfectly harmless unless you inhale or ingest it. In the Wikipedia article on alpha decay it says:
Alpha particles emitted by radioactive nuclei are among the most hazardous forms of radiation, if these nuclei are incorporated within a human body. As any heavy charged particle, alpha particles lose their energy within a very short distance in dense media, causing significant damage to surrounding biomolecules. On the other hand, external alpha irradiation is not harmful because alpha particles are completely absorbed by a very thin (micrometers) dead layer of skin as well as by a few centimeters of air. However, if a substance radiating alpha particles is ingested or inhaled by (or injected into) an organism it may become a risk, potentially inflicting very serious damage to the organisms' genetic makeup.
You have shown yourself to have no respect for life, liberty or any civilized value. You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilized men and women. You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life.
We can hope. . .
