The killer is upset , but not surprised. "As we expected, the sensation did not happen!" - exclaims Andrei Lugovoi, and a variety of people speak in jointly. Maria Zakharova, representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, who did not see "no innovation" in the decision of the High London Court. Teresa May, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Great Britain, said that "the results of the inquiry ... did not become a surprise." An anonymous source surrounded by David Cameron, who noted that the information known to the English government, "unfortunately confirmed." The collective Kremlin represented by Dmitry Peskov, who is so omniscient that he is not even interested in the results of a court investigation in the case of the murder of Litvinenko.
Everyone has known everything for a long time, starting, of course, from the killers. They knew about nine years. Since then, the traces of Polonium-210 were found everywhere where Lugovoi and Kovtun were visited, and the main problem was not to put them on the bench in London. The main problem came down to pure policy.
On the one hand, the first fixed case of nuclear terrorism, and in the European capital. On the other hand, a nuclear power that reacts extremely painfully to such accusations, and the more fair they are, the more acute the reaction. On the one hand, shame and shame for England to wrap this matter. On the other hand, Realpolitik and all that.
That is why it was so difficult for Marina Litvinenko, the widow of the murdered lieutenant colonel, to achieve judicial retaliation. I had to file a complaint about the decision of the same Teresa May, who first refused to transfer secret documents to Judge Robert Owen even as part of a closed meeting, referring to state interests. For we were talking about these papers about the customers of the crime. About those who supplied the polonium of the future deputy of the Russian parliament from the LDPR faction.
There was a dead end situation. There were suspects whose names were named after the investigation conducted by special services and Scotland Yard. Motives remained unclear. How in many other similar cases - to take at least a God -fearing fighter Dadaev with the accomplices: where are they and where are Boris Nemtsov? Another thing is when the word takes a probable customer and brightly, figuratively, publicly informs the public about why it is possible and necessary to deal with enemies of the people.
This is already, as it were, a clue, if not a kind of confession. So sometimes individual crimes are revealed. Unless, of course, there is a desire to reveal them.
Political plots develop differently, but they often see the similarities with criminal processes. When, for example, a portrait of a suspected national leader over time is enriched with new colors. When the so -called indirect evidence gradually gains the persuasiveness of almost direct evidence.
Putin of the 2006 model was already considered a murder customer, but the British were not yet ready to charges him. The accusations were brought by the deceased, but his texts, and the speech, including the dying, were regarded rather as the reduction of accounts within the closed department than as important testimonies. Yes, and it was scary to believe. It turned out that the British and other Western politicians shook the hand of the criminal and agreed with him all kinds of reboots. The Lugovoi convicted Lugovoi and Kovtun were quite suitable for the role of villains, and then I did not want to look. In that abyss where a difficult but seemingly agreement -resistant partner lives.
More than nine years later, you still have to look there, and here it should be said about two people who had a decisive effect on politicians, literally forcing them to agree to court - not a quick, but fair. This is, firstly, Marina Litvinenko, who for many years fought for establishing the truth in the case of the murder of her husband. Secondly, this is Vladimir Vladimirovich himself. He did everything possible for a public investigation to take place and the verdict sounds.
During the time, past the death of Alexander Litvinenko, he untied two hot wars and intervened in the third. Violated a number of fundamental international laws. Actively and successfully isolated his country, also untied the Cold war. He threatened the West with a nuclear war, and his special propagandist sprinkled the planet with radioactive ash. Against the background of all these global achievements, the murder in London already seemed to be quite small, and the British finally decided to investigate him in court. Clearly understanding that now little can harm their relationship with Russia. Equal to the one whom Judge Owen, along with Patrushev, called the customer of the crime.
However, he named with the caution that is characteristic of sentences based on the information of the top secret. And also in common sense. If deadly sex is produced only at state -owned enterprises of the Russian Federation, and the named murder customer, who hated Litvinenko, always divided the world into “enemies” and “traitors” who are subject to destruction, then two motives were traced in his actions at once. Deeply personal and corporate.
As for Putin’s actions in the international arena, they served as indirect evidence. The court simply took them into account. Well, such a character was invisibly present in the hall, decorating a bench of the defendants. Flasping the meadow, whose wine was essentially reduced to the fact that he, a bonded man, was just fulfilling the order. Though criminal. So could count on some condescension.
Nevertheless, he is upset and accuses the British of Russophobia, but does not show surprise. And no one is surprised - neither in Moscow, nor in London, nowhere. The understanding is complete, and this unifying feeling covers all participants and spectators of the ending process.
