Former Russian federal security official and deputy colonel, 43-year old Alexander Litvinenko died on Thursday evening in the hospital due to poisoning of an unknown substance. In 2000, Litvinenko escaped from Russia with his family after being charged with three cases. He was considered to be one of the close friends of Russian exiled Boris Berezovski’s. In 2006, Great Britain granted him citizenship. According to foreign presses, Litvinenko had procured a document pinpointing the names of the murderers of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. On Friday, British presses published the last words of Litvinenko. “Those imbecils caught me, but they can’t catch everyone.” One of the assistants of Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Friday: “This, of course, is a big tragedy. They poisoned the man, but the accusations against the Kremlin are uncalled for and lame and that’s why the president is not making any comment.” The announcement of Litvinenko reads: “I think it’s time to say a couple of words to the person who is responsible for the situation I am in. Perhaps you will be able to shut me up, but you’ll pay a price for that. You proved that you are the barbarians as the critics present you as. You proved that you don’t deserve that ranking or the trust of civilized people. May God forgive you, Mr. Putin, for all that you have done not only to me, but to the people of Russia.” There was a time when A. Litvinenko had said that the murders at the National Assembly of Armenia on October 27, 1999 were organized by the Russian special services. It’s now a fact that yet another person with evidence of the murders of October 27 died.
