London (dpa) - Former Russian prime minister Yegor Gaidar, who was hospitalized after falling ill at a conference in Ireland, was poisoned, his daughter claimed Thursday.Unclear.
She claimed this Thursday, but when did this alleged poisoning happen?

Seems like she might be jumping to conclusions, but on the other hand, Putin's boys have kind of fed the hysteria by knocking off Litvinenko.

It's becoming more and more clear that Putin's loyalties still belong to the KGB and the Soviet Union.There's nothing I wouldn't put past that psychopath.

There is a famous "poisoning" story in an old Muslim writing..circa 1850. The perp was a woman in that story.

If it turns out this is, in fact, a deliberate poisoning attempt, the ramifications are chilling. Gaidar is a former premier with one of the most prestigious jobs in Moscow. To attempt to kill someone with that high a profile, with that much personal security, and that many political connections is surely no small task.

Putin was (IS) KGB. They've just become more sophistocated. The old bullet in the ear was soooo messy.

Egor Gaidar is also the grandson of the communist author Arkady Gaidar (Golikov).
Gaidar's grandfather fought on the Ukrainian and Polish fronts during the revolution (at 15!), and even at that tender age, participated in round-ups and murders of peasants. After the revolution he wrote cloyingly sick commie novels, and supposedly died in battle during the early days of WW II.
A biographer (Glushchenko) who had problems with the "official" heroic version of Gaidar's death was told to drop his investigation. The district director of propoganda asked the biographer: "Are you tired of living a peaceful life?" and Glushchenko got the hint.
There weren't any Politkovskayas back then.

There is a report that he ate at the hotel and food was ok, but the tea tasted funny..

The Russians have a history replete with examples of out-to-pasture high governing officials and their sublieutenants being disposed of to eliminate their influence of possibility of adverse information becoming known. Doubt that? Just recall the fate of the entire Tsarist Romanoff family and their attendants after the 1917 revolution and the fate of the Kerensky wing of the revolutionary gang. Hell, they even got to him in Mexico.
