Just think of it! “An imprisoned Russian dissident, Mikhail Trepashkin, who is also a former agent of the FSB being held in a penal camp in the Urals, has given the Sunday Telegraph revealing testimony in which he named a serving state security colonel as a key figure in the poisoning of the former spy Alexander Litvinenko”. A mere apology for a new version of Litvinenko’s murder in London! It seems to me that previous version of killing Litvinenko with a lethal dose of radioactive polonium-210 which, as expected, was imported from Russia, has simply collapsed like a house of cards, showing “bad work” of special services. And that is why they decided to prepare one more provocation against their colleagues from Russia.
I cannot but agree with Mr. Trepashkin, who said that Litvinenko’s death has inured to benefit of his colleagues from special services. But it could not be his former friends from FSB. The matter is that he continued his service in Western special services after his discharge from Russian secret services. And there is no secret that Western agents needed to follow him and find out how he lived. Of course, they knew exactly what security arrangements he had. And so Litvinenko’s murder couldn’t be planned and committed by any special agents at all; because they would never ignore that the polonium acts very quickly and leaves a trail. Everyone knows that the main goal of any killing by secret services is making victim’s death as natural as possible.
In this case I think it would be more realistic to suppose that at some moment Litvinenko’s new colleagues from Western special services have nailed him to his promise of growing away from his former friends, such as, for instance, Russian oligarch B. Berezovsky, with whom Mr. Litvinenko had so close relations during last 10 years. And most likely Berezovsky, who is known by his links with Chechen militants and black market of radioactive materials in Europe, decided to give Litvinenko a lesson for his double-cross.
And allowing Berezovsky’s helpers to commit this murder, Western special services has shown their imbecility and hurried to cast the blame to their Russian colleagues. Their first attempt was failed during public investigation. And now they try to find a new victim in support of their version of FSB crimination. And Mr. Trepashkin turned out to be their last chance to exonerate themselves. One can't rule out that they will annihilate their agent Trepashkin to support their main version of Russia's guilt.
