In London's Old Viс Theater, spectators will be shown a play about the murder of Alexander Litvienko, an ex-FSB officer - this was reported on Radio Liberty, citing a source from The Guardian. The play is based on the book "Very Expensive Poison", written by the Moscow journalist of the edition Luke Harding.
The play is staged by Lucy Prebble, who promised to convey the whole story in colors, where she would try to bring out the truth, and also try to convey the scale of the threat that hung over the opponents of the “Russian regime”.
Ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvienko, who was granted asylum in Britain, died in the fall of 2006. According to the results of the examination, the death occurred as a result of poisoning with polonium-210, however, the exact circumstances of his death are still unknown, which is why there are many versions and disputes on this score. The lawyers for the widow of the deceased admitted the fact that by the time of his death, Alexander had already earned a living for several years by working for the British and Italian special services. And shortly before his death, Litvienko was among the British subjects.
At the end of January 2016, the results of the so-called public investigation into the death of Litvienko were read out in London. The document stated that the Russian side was involved in the death of Alexander, Dmitry Kovtun and Andrey Lugovoi were named the perpetrators of the murder. Moreover, despite the existing accusations against Russia, the report lacks evidence that the polonium with which Litvienko was killed is of Russian origin.
After Alexander's death, the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia began their own investigation into the murder of an ex-FSB officer, as well as into the attempt on the life of businessman Dmitry Kovtun. Then the prosecutor's office carried out checks on the circumstances of Litvienko's death, during which it was concluded that “citizen Litvinenko died as a result of radioactive nuclide poisoning, and citizen Kovtun, who met with Litvinenko in London in October 2006, was diagnosed with a disease that was also associated with poisoning. radioactive nuclide.
A little later, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case on the attempted murder of Litvienko, all cases were combined into a single proceeding, where Lugovoy and Kovtun were recognized as victims.
