Yegor Gaidar, Russias former prime minister and the architect of the countrys market reforms, last week suffered a sudden, unexplained and violent illness on a visit to Ireland, a day after Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB spy, died in London from an apparent radiation poisoning.
Mr Gaidar is now in a stable condition at an undisclosed Moscow hospital, undergoing tests. In a telephone interview with the FT, Mr Gaidar said the doctors had so far been unable to identify the cause of the violent vomiting and bleeding that he suffered during a conference in Ireland.
Anatoly Chubais, his former associate and the head of Russias electricity monopoly, said he suspected Mr Gaidar may have been poisoned. However, he strongly ruled out that either Russias security services or the Kremlin could have had any involvement. There is no indication of radiation being the cause of his illness.
Mr Gaidar is one of Russian President Vladimir Putins softer critics and his daughter is a leader of an opposition movement. Mr Gaidar, who heads an economic think-tank in Moscow, has close connections with the government and occasionally advises them on economic matters.
"I have suffered sudden problems with my health on November 24 which posed a threat to my life. This threat has not been realised. After a few hours the situation stabilised, Mr Gaidar said.
Mr Chubais and Mr Gaidar said the doctors could not explain the symptoms he had suffered.

Another - sudden, unexplained and violent illness - a day after Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB spy, died in London from an apparent radiation poisoning.
"Pat Buchanan prbably believes Hitler was Jewish."
...one with an extreme inferiority complex.
Who visit British Islands. Must be British food and weather!
A self-hating Jew?
Professor Plum??
Perhaps some discretion was offered by the Old Media's lack of interest in following up on the oddly coincidental deaths of James McDougal, Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Mary Mahoney, Ed Willey, and a few dozen other unfortunate peeps who (allegedly and according to some websites) had the "goods" on the Clintons.
Ooo, wouldn't this make a cool political commercial, say in October 2008?
.
Plum, to my mind must be tall. No, his most remarkable feature are extreme obesety and a pink smooth face. That's why many Russian call him a piglet.
Another Kremli-Cide?!?
Actually, Gaidar is jewish so Pat would probably say he did it to himself.==
Gaidar is not jewish. You missed here Joe:).
I guess it's not your fault cereal and milk is all over my keyboard; how would you know I was eating breakfast??
Sem40 is just one site:). You listen them more:). They once told that academician Sakharov was jewish (maybe it is because he had jewish wife):) Other moment they enlisted even Andrei Mironov and Vladimir Visotskii to jews:). Let them enlist me because I have the aunt who is jewish:).
Those mcribs are disgusting. Billboard ad fooled me.
