A from the series identified three victims – a journalist, a minority rights activist and an anti-corruption activist – who had died under suspicious circumstances between 2014 and 2019. We traced members of the FSB poison squad to near these individuals in the period preceding their deaths in all three cases. In this report we also identified the role of the FSB’s Directorate for Protection of the Constitutional Order in preparing and conducting poisoning operations.
In this new report, prepared jointly with The Insider (Russia) and Der Spiegel (Germany), we investigate the possible role of the two FSB units in two near-fatal poisonings of Russian politician and opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza.
