Not so long ago, the world and Russian public, interested in the scandalous murder of former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, was intrigued by reports of a trial in London in this complicated and dirty - not only in a radioactive, but also in a political sense - case. But, as some Russian media reported, it suddenly turned out that the “court” was not a court, and the “judge” was retired, and the decision of the “court” was just the conclusions of a certain “commission” that had no legal force. So what has actually been going on for almost 10 years under the skirt of the British Themis? Will we find out how the Russian émigré and secret agent of British intelligence, Litvinenko, (who, however, changed his Russian name to English - "Edwin Redwald Carter"), really died? Was Carter-Litvinenko poisoned with polonium, or was he silenced in some other murderous way? Who did this?The book presented to the attention of the reader is unique in its kind. It contains complete information about all the vicissitudes of the "Litvinenko case". And after reading it, there will be little doubt about who was the true killer of a close friend of the ex-oligarch Berezovsky.

Книга о Литвиненко
Книга "Александр Литвиненко и Полоний-210" представляет собой глубокое исследование одного из самых загадочных и резонансных дел в современной истории. Автор тщательно анализирует события, предшествующие убийству, и раскрывает множество деталей, которые ранее оставались в тени. Особенно впечатляет, как автор показывает сложные политические интриги, связанные с этим делом, и как они влияют на восприятие правды. Однако, несмотря на богатую информацию и увлекательный стиль изложения, книга местами перегружена техническими деталями, которые могут сбить с толку читателя, не знакомого с темой. Тем не менее, для тех, кто интересуется политикой и криминалистикой, это обязательное чтение. В целом, книга оставляет после себя множество вопросов и заставляет задуматься о том, как далеко может зайти политика в своих играх.
