After the Bolsheviks outwitted the Mensheviks, the terms "Soviet Union" and "Worker's Russia" were synonomous and interchangeable. Russia, being the main "nation-state", the Bolsheviks set up their government in Moscow. Ethnic Russians are as blood stained as any other regional ethnics in the "former" Soviet Union.

Viktor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine.

Thanks. . .had made a Ukraine connection but not certain; and and could not remember his name. I guess it was a bit longer than 'a year' ago; actually. . .

That said, do want to read; if it is in English, that is. . .the recent book writen by Alexander Litvinenko's; Putin's latest victim. . .

Because Islamonazi terrorism will give the neo-Soviets all the reason they need to slam down their Iron Fist again, tyrannize the Russian people with a totalitarian regime. It's the same reason the Left in this country secretly likes what the Islamonazis are doing around the world. They want to employ their Statist regime in this country, and the Islamonazis are helping them.

"Endoplang gland?"

The endoplang gland it feeds the marzel vein during episodes of non-sinosoidal depleneration.

"Mr Litvinenko's supporters said he was killed because he was investigating the murder last month of journalist and fellow Putin critic Anna Politkovskaya"

Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaya (Russian: Àííà Ñòåïàíîâíà Ïîëèòêîâñêàÿ; 30 August 1958 – 7 October 2006) was a U.S.-born Russian journalist and human rights activist well known for her opposition to the Chechen conflict and the Putin administration. She was murdered, shot to death in her Moscow apartment building on 7 October 2006.

Oh, I dunno. Just as clear either way.

I'm just glad I don't have one of those glands.

In Russia, Communism might be dead, but the Communists aren't.

Anna Politkovskaya

"Her body was found in a lift in her apartment building in Moscow last month with two gunshot wounds, one to the head."

"She was about to publish a story about alleged torture and abductions in the region."

Polonium 210 poses no danger to humans. It is found in fresh water and is easilt broken down by the endoplange gland.

Where did you see that quote? It isn't on the Wikipedia site you linked.

Besides, there is no such thing as an endoplange gland.

FoxNews is in error. London papers are reporting the dose as a small one. Otherwise, the death would have been extremely quick. A small dose meant a slow death - giving the killer plenty of time to get away, as the London accounts state. Moreover, it would make the slow death excruciating.

I'm curious as to how this was discovered?

His symptoms pointed to a possible radiation exposure. His urine sample became radioactive as the poison was excreted.

I wonder if it puts the healthcare workers at risk, too.

Yes.

The risk isn't a huge one - but still scary. It could have only been passed one through body fluids so basic BSI (body substance isolation)would have been adequate protection.

Do we really need any more evidence?

Believe me when I say it could not be more obvious that evidence means nothing to you.
