[M. Espinola]

This is beyond the point of incredible pomposity, even on KGB Putin's part "...demanded that Britain hand over the enemies of President Putin who have been given asylum in London."

On the other hand it's 100% text book Stalinist to murder all opposition domestic and overseas.

The new boss ..

is the same as all the old bosses.

Putin's reaction also destroys the theory that Lugovoi was framed. If Putin thought there was a chance Lugovoi was framed, Putin would be investigating fully to discover who framed Lugovoi and where the rest of the Polonium may be located. All Putin has done with his demand to release his enemies seeking asylum in England, is to increase the perception of his apparent obsession with his former enemies. I could understand Putin's position if the Polonium plot was a plot to poison Putin, but it was not.
