Alexander, Anna, and Akhmed: Putin's Public Enemies #1, 2, and 3

"Triple A" takes on a whole new meaning in this post. I am referring to Alexander Litvinenko, Anna Politkovskaya, and Akhmed Zakayev, three of Putin's major critics, all of whom knew each other. Of the three, only Zakayev is still alive, although according to KGB defector Oleg Gordiyevsky, he was #2 on the FSB's assassination list between Litvinenko and Berezovsky.

I found a very interesting video on YouTube about Litvinenko's life and death, as well as interviews with Politkovskaya, Vladimir Bukovsky (a major Soviet dissident), Walter and Marina Litvinenko (father & wife), and Zakayev. It's almost an hour long, but well worth it.

The interviews with Litvinenko himself are the most interesting. Pay attention to what he says about the FSB and the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings. Pay attention to everything he says. He knew too much, and paid the price for his knowledge.

Pay attention to what Bukovsky says about Putin passing a certain law in July 2006 allowing the special forces to kill off their enemies in Russia and abroad (the poisoning occurred in November, just 4 months later).

Pay attention to Zakayev's note that Litvinenko called him on the morning of Novemeber 1 to tell him he had information that the FSB killed Politkovskaya--the same day he was poisoned.

Pay attention also to Putin's statements on the murders of Litvinenko and Politkovskaya. Look at his body language in addition to his verbal language. He doesn't look the slightest bit remorseful or even sincere about what he's saying. He looks like he's just going through the motions saying what he has to say to cover up his and the FSB's invovlements in the murders. And that's because he is. Some of his comments are almost derogatory rather than conciliatory. Compare his conduct to that of Politkovskaya, Zakayev, and Litvinenko himself. They all look completely sincere, like they know what they're saying is true.

The first act of nuclear terrorism didn't come from an atomic bomb in the hands of al-Qaida or Ahmadinejad, nor did it happen in Iran or Pakistan or somewhere in the Middle East like you might expect, it happened in London, a 21st century Western capital, from traces of polonium-210 in the hands of Russian agents.

The Cold War never really disappeared, it just went underground. Same tactics, same strategy: Extend Russian influence, ideology, and control throughout the world, especially in energy-rich countries, and kill off anyone who gets in your way.

As Zakayev says, "As long as the problem of the Russian regime is not solved, the problems in other parts of the world will not be solved either--be they in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, with Al-Qaida or in the North Caucasus."
