Poisoned Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko died on Thursday in an intensive care ward, London's University College Hospital said.
Litvinenko, a fierce critic of the Russian government, suffered a rapid deterioration in his health on Thursday, but doctors still were unable to determine the cause of his death, a spokesman said in a statement.

Fifteenth anti-Putin journalist dead. Who's next?
This is not good. If this isn't *excuse the analogy* raising a red flag that Russia's headed back to Soviet times, what is?

In Russia, the president kills his enemies. In America, the enemies (liberals) want to kill the president. US-SU (Soviet Union). A mirror image. Hmmmmm....

Communism in Russia with an Islamic alliance I don't think they get along.

Prediction is we have about 10 years left as a free Democratic Republic.
I wish this weren't true, but I believe it is. 20 yrs, tops.
It's the end of the world as we know it.

you gotta admit, taking out two high profile critics in a few months is sending a very clear message to russian dissidents you would have to be hopelessly stupid or naive to not get - don't make the kremlin uncomfortable or you will die.

aminita kills by liver toxicity and massive liver failure. From the reports I have heard, sounds like he had bone marrow failure. Aminita poisoning is rare, but still seen, I think someone would recognize that.

putin has nothing at all on stalin - these sorts of political killings are unusual in that they are being made into intentionally obvious murders (unlike some of suspicious clinton associates or some of the iran-contra people's deaths, which were set up to look like accidents/natural causes), but as far as the numbers involved, he is not a speck of dust compared to josef stalin.
really shouldn't even be compared. multiply this stuff by about 1,000,000 and you might approach the neurosis-ridden monster that was stalin.
