A chance for the truth

Scotland Yard will investigate the poisoning of Yegor Gaidar, The Times reports. On November 24, the famous economist was hospitalized in a clinic in Ireland. Later, at the Russian clinic where he was transferred, doctors stated that the disease could not be caused by “natural causes.” British police intend to determine whether there is a connection between Gaidar's sudden illness and the death of former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, who died in a London hospital as a result of poisoning with the toxic substance polonium.
