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.”
She thinks that the enthusiastic welcome Prigozhin received from citizens in the town of Rostov-on-Don during his brief rebellion, where people wanted to shake his hand and take photos with the Wagner chief, would have been similar elsewhere. Litvinenko has many Russian friends here in the UK. She has a good relationship with fellow London-based exiles like, who she stood alongside at an anti-war protest outside the Russian embassy in February. But she also has misgivings about Russians living in the UK who quietly support the man in the Kremlin and believe its propaganda.
If only residing in the UK could have saved her husband – who she calls “Sasha” – back in 2006. She remembers fearing for her son back then, worrying that she had also been exposed to the poison and thinking: “If I’m dying now, who will take care of Anatoly?”
