Oh I remember that. The weird Polonium thing, which was totally not a cover-up of Polonium stolen from the British Navy in a botched mule operation or something, but Putin being "brazen" and having someone murdered in a bizarre way, just to show he could. Boy, the press and government really jumped on board the "obvious conclusion".
Frankly, I think he might. Wouldn't put it past him. But in the almost-twenty years since then, I've become reeeeal suspicious of the way the British and American press jump to conclusions and blame Russia Russia Russia.
Quote:Renowned French security expert Paul Barril has let loose a bombshell: the existence of Operation Beluga, a covert Western intelligence scheme intended to undermine Russia and its leaders.
Barril exposed Operation Beluga in a recent interview with Swiss businessman Pascal Najadi on the 2006 Alexander Litvinenko death case. Litvinenko was a reputed former spy who many believe was murdered with radioactive polonium on orders of Vladimir Putin.
Here's what Najadi told me:
"According to Paul Barril, Litvinenko was himself working for the late Boris Berezovsky [a Russian fugitive oligarch that made London his home] who, according to Barril, was in turn working for and with the British intelligence service MI6. Barril said, 'Litvinenko has betrayed his employers, Berezovsky and the MI6, and has pocketed large sums of money, millions of US dollars, that were destined for agent provocateurs within the Berezovsky clan. The sole goal was to globally discredit Putin and the Russian Federation. This Western intelligence operation was directed from Washington DC and London. Its code name is Beluga.'"

Anyway its been years and years and I doubt there's any case to be made arguing it. Bit of a conspiracy-theory tidbit that I didn't really digest at the time, haha. One of those things that look less plausible in retrospect.
