In accordance with information published in Wikipedia (The Free Internet Encyclopedia), on 1 November 2006 Alexander Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalised in what was
established as a case of poisoning by radioactive polonium-210 and that resulted in his death on 23 November.
The events leading up to his poisoning and death are a matter of controversy, spawning numerous theories
relating to his poisoning and death. The British investigation into his death resulted in a failed request
to Russia for the extradition of Andrey Lugovoy whom they accused of Litvinenko's murder, contributing
to the further cooling of Russia-United Kingdom relations.
The ex-KGB agent had many enemies, including his former spy colleagues and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
Those are among the few known facts in an assassination which seems like a sinister replay of the Cold War.
It was a slow, agonizing death. Whatever had poisoned Alexander Litvinenko destroyed his bone marrow and liver,
and eventually triggered a massive heart attack. |

In accordance with information published in Wikipedia, on 25 October 2003, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested at Novosibirsk Airport by the Russian prosecutor general's office
on charges of fraud. Shortly thereafter, on 31 October, the government under Vladimir Putin froze shares of Yukos
because of tax charges. The Russian government took further actions against Yukos, leading to a collapse in
the share price. It purported to sell a major asset of Yukos in December 2004.
On 31 May 2005, Khodorkovsky was found guilty of fraud and sentenced to nine years in prison. The sentence was later reduced to 8 years.
In 2003, prior to his arrest, Khodorkovsky funded several Russian parties, including the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and even,
allegedly, the pro-Kremlin United Russia. |

In accordance with information published in Wikipedia, in 2007, a Moscow court found Berezovsky guilty of massive embezzlement in absentia.
He was sentenced to six years in jail and ordered to repay the $9 million that the court said he had stolen from the state airline Aeroflot.
He has also been accused by Russian authorities of being involved in the murders of several leading critics of the Putin's regime,
including Litvinenko and journalist Anna Politkovskaya, in an attempt to destabilize the country and discredit Putin.
Berezovsky survived an assassination attempt in 1994 unharmed. Berezovsky claims that there have been several other assassination
attempts directed against him, which he accuses Russian agents of carrying out. |

In accordance with information published in Wikipedia, Anna Politkovskaya was a Russian journalist, author and human rights activist well known for her opposition
to the Chechen conflict and then-President of Russia Vladimir Putin. On 7 October 2006,
she was shot dead in the elevator of her apartment building, an unsolved assassination that continues
to attract international attention.
Politkovskaya made her name reporting from Chechnya. Her constant stream of articles after 1999 about conditions
in Chechnya were turned into several books but Russian readers' main access to her investigations and publications
was through Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper well-known in the country for its critical and investigative coverage
of Russian political and social affairs.
