520 The assassination of former Russian intelligence officer
Alexander "Sasha" Litvinenko in November 2006 -- poisoned
by the rare radioactive element polonium -- caused an
international sensation. Within a few short weeks, the fit
forty-three-year-old lay gaunt, bald, and dying in a
hospital, the victim of a "tiny nuclear bomb." Suspicions
swirled around Russia's FSB, the successor to the KGB, and
the Putin regime. Traces of polonium radiation were found
in Germany and on certain airplanes, suggesting a travel
route from Russia for the carriers of the fatal poison.
But what really happened? What did Litvinenko know? And
why was he killed? The full story of Sasha Litvinenko's
life and death is one that the Kremlin does not want told.
His closest friend, Alex Goldfarb, and his widow, Marina,
are the only two people who can tell it all, from
firsthand knowledge, with dramatic scenes from Moscow to
London to Washington. Death of a Dissident reads like a
political thriller, yet its story is more fantastic and
frightening than any novel. Ever since 1998, when
Litvinenko denounced the FSB for ordering him to
assassinate tycoon Boris Berezovsky, he had devoted his
life to exposing the FSB's darkest secrets. After a
dramatic escape to London with Goldfarb's assistance, he
spent six years, often working with Goldfarb,
investigating a widening series of scandals. Oligarchs and
journalists have been assassinated. Ukrainian presidential
candidate Viktor Yuschenko was poisoned on the campaign
trail. The war in Chechnya became unspeakably harsh on
both sides. Sasha Litvinenko investigated all of it, and
he denounced his former employers in no uncertain terms
for their dirty deeds. Death of a Dissident opens a window
into the dark heart of the Putin Kremlin. With its strong-
arm tactics, tight control over the media, and penetration
of all levels of government, the old KGB is back with a
vengeance. Sasha Litvinenko dedicated his life to exposing
this truth. It took his diabolical murder for the world to
listen.
