Mr. Berezovsky, however, had no reason to kill Litvinenko, whose views he shared and whom he had helped since his arrival in the U.K. in 2000. ==
Berezovskii has all reasons to kill Litvimemnko just to implacate And frame Russia and Putin. Rassia wanted him for many crimes during Yeltsin times. He knows it and this scandals may help his cause against extradiction to Russia.
After all notice that those killing of Politkovskaya and Litvinenko happened just during Putin vists in Eu? Why it didn't happen during his visit to Asia recently?
You should go after those who had motives. It is not Putin because his approval rate in Russia is near 75%.

Berezovskii has all reasons to kill Litvimemnko just to implicate And frame Russia and Putin I keep hearing this, but I don't get it. Putin will suffer nothing from this. The West will do nothing. I think it is more likely that Putin intends to become a dictator. Time will tell. If that is the case, this is exactly what one would expect. He sends a very obvious public message that anyone who challenges him will die. Nobody is safe anywhere in the world.

It amazes me that the Russophobes hatred will not allow even the remote possibility that someone else might be guilty of the murder. They are totally ignorant to the identity of the Godfather of the Kremlin, and the evil of this person has committed. Hmmmm, but then their ignorance is willed.

And Stalin's was, what, 95%? Higher? Lenin's was easily as high. Heck, wasn't it under Brezhnev's administration that there was no crime at all?
Yeah, Soviet Russian leaders never overstate their popularity.

Putin' rate is from the popular opinion research and polls. It calculated with same technology as Bush approval rate.

It amazes me that the Russophobes hatred will not allow... I'm not a Russophobe. It was my great hope that Putin would be our allie and promote liberty and democracy in his country. However, his actions suggest to me that he wants to recreate the empire. Are you pleased with his actions regarding Iraq, Iran and North Korea? He has chosen to compete, rather than cooperate with us. Maybe I am wrong and I am just misinterpreting his actions. If so, it is not because of Russophobia. Attempting to invalidate an opinion by using terms like Russophopia, homophobia, racist, sexist etc. is weak.

He for sure knows who George Soros is and what he does for living.
A masterful PR campaign by Bell Pottinger Communications.

"...the death of a prominent journalist (Politkovskaya) and a former FSB agent who wrote some anti-Putin books (that nobody believed anyway)."
Mr. Comrade "theprodigy" what other FR name were slithering under posting pro-Kremlin disinformation prior to this new FR name?
"I am inclined to believe that these killings are either the work of Chechens or Berezovsky, or maybe some other party interested in discrediting the current Russian government."
"The Comrade Club" strikes again!
Vlad's new method!

Rule # 1.: Not a single word passing the lips of a kegebun can be trusted. This includes the pauses they have to make to catch their breath or to swallow the accumulated saliva - these pauses cannot be trusted either.
Rule # 2.: Not a single constructive deed by a kegebun [in their destructive capacities one could place full faith] can be trusted either. For example, if a kegebun malingers a suicide, one is to mistrust it and ought to make sure by double tapping the malingerer in the head.
Rule # 3.: For the purposes of Rules 1 and 2 the kegebuns are those directly involved with the infamous organization, its predecessors, successors, creditors, debtors and assignees [collectively, "KGB"], and anyone identifying with, or pushing, the agenda of the said organization.
