The widow of the Russian spy reflects on fate catching up with the men wanted for his murder, why Russia is becoming a tinder box for civil war while Putin is politically trapped, and the demise of 'criminally minded' Yevgeny Prigozhin
“Kara-Murza is in prison because people lost money and control of their assets,” she says. “It’s nothing to do with his criticism of the Russian army. He exposed a lot of names and became a real troublemaker to powerful people.”
The Kremlin’s ruthless security apparatus means she “could not ask Russian people to fight against Putin”, but if someone challenges the president, those scenes in Rostov “show how the Russian people might give up on Putin immediately… Nobody is going to support the regime. The problem is that any person who is capable of being at the top is now hiding.”Marina Litvinenko
“I have some friends who visit a Russian church,” she explains. “Many people who visit this church, they came here just for a better life, but they’re still supporting Putin, they’re still watching Russian TV, and if you ask them about this war, they will be very critical of Ukraine. Thankfully tests showed only “slightly higher levels” of radiation than normal – which left her “crying together with this woman from the Health Protection Agency” – and she has remained healthy ever since, confirmed by blood tests last year.
