Ten years ago, on November 23, 2006, Alexander Valterovich Litvinenko, a former FSB lieutenant colonel, who became an open critic of Vladimir Putin and his regime and received political asylum in England, died in London. The cause of the death of Litvinenko was poisoning with an extremely rare poison - Polo -210. The British court found that there was enough evidence to charge former KGB officers Andrei Lucovoy and Dmitry Kovtun, which, in all likelihood, stood Russian state structures.
