Its not the 1st time the russian government has come under scrutiny for the suspect as poisoning of his critics in 2006 if former russian Intelligence Officer Alexander Litvinenko died in the ok after a radioactive substance was put in his cup of tea 2015 journalist and opposition activist karl moore does or nearly died of kidney failure after he was poisoned twice by a russian agents and russian artist bit or vessel of accused Intelligence Services of poisoning him one who fell ill after a Court Hearing into a 1018 that same year if former russian double agent surrogate scruple and his daughter were poisoned with a nerve agent in the british city of seoul its very. Lettering in our panel in moscow we have not viva a visiting Senior Research fellow at Kings College london in london darren marked all the principal russia analyst with brisk consultancy various maple craft and in washington d. C. Area. And inside russian politician and former member of the state duma welcome to or under government denies any involvement in the case of. No one is saying that we have to wait for an investigation denying that this was a poisoning but against the backdrop of the past poisoning cases many people believe or start to point fingers at the government. I think it is very pretty mature to draw this kind of cook lucian i also think that your comparison with. My knees really misplaced vital needs that can in a position big i mean it was a double agent working for us that must be them working well with their british intelligence. With really much so what do you watch and they say wise and then youre polluting and the british will then why do you feel rushed in the position because who claim that they have been victims of the the thing is that most of them well actually all of them those what claimed this and they have to sell it i dont we are dealing with somebody who is extremely unprofessional or they might hear some other explanations as well theyre not how government. Would already have prepared to consider if there was any hard evidence so far we know that the german doctors have been deployed and we have heard of them but they are patently had been your exs and the russian government said that there is no problem with moving now while any in germany who travel with this option that we now live and it does get the gemini its very unlikely that he will be able to return to russia to look at it will it exceed. What do you make of what has just been saying. Well theres only the issue of if not only were to be. Removed in this manner to germany whether or not hed be able to get back. But from what weve seen so far is there doesnt seem to be any real question that he was poisoned certainly the latest. Diagnosis that weve seen from the doctors is that he was suffering some sort of hypoglycemic attack my blood sugar shortage which is frankly somewhat ridiculous and the fact the hospital is currently preventing him from being that it back to germany as well suggests that theres Something Else going on here that there are very very clearly do not want the actual reason why the folly has fallen ill to come to light weve also seen that since the colony was admitted the. Hospital itself has more or less been taken over by officers of the local f. S. B. And Investigative Committee have come into the offices and you know theres theres not a lot of light on the situation right now. One of the possibilities that really comes to mind now is i think that the comparison with bodies themselves. Is a good one off was the evidence suggest was killed at the direction of the governor of chechnya and im some can do you know without the permission of the kremlin. Which caused something of a political crisis even if who didnt eventually absolve him and prevented any kind of actual punishment being meted out here and thats the real problem even if this isnt something that was directly ordered or coordinated by the Kremlin Putin has created a system in an atmosphere in which there is factions of the elite can carry out these assassinations independently are going to set out assassinations yeah. They relatives of the. Name. His his his doctors are puzzled by the thank the the hospital has been issuing contradictory statements saying that his his his his table is a very serious situation we cannot let him go to the to germany we have to conduct foreign investigation we have to go through different sets of tests before we come up with a result this for many of his supporters is very dodgy. Oh thats obviously the case because in russia unfortunately my colleagues on this panel were d completely right there must fear is that everybody is very suspicious of kremlin sectionals and there is a huge truck or former cessation attempts and a lot of them wore them in the form of poison in their points and thats why of course people are suspicious in theory you know it can be just a simple would you feel or policy not only but that has been seen by many as very unlikely and in the hospital obviously the doctors they also need to do their job and they need to investigate and they need you know they need to understand what is happening but the fact that the airplane from germany has arrived and theyre not releasing aleksey to be treated in in this airplane which is a more them hospital plane itself injured man thats obviously is very suspicious and many people suggest that the. Kremlin just wants the toxins to be eliminated from boarding aleksey so that they would not be them the detect that in germany and i was listening to you when you were basically concerned about drawing patterns between the case of Intelligence Officer Alexander Litvinenko and the case on of the vanni behind you however when you look at the cases surrogates kirpal and put it. Stems for blood cut almost victoria chink oh were talking about a pattern of days of basing many concern among. Among the russians themselves i mean sending your opponents to jail is something poisoning them this is really raising massive concern not only in russia but internationally. Well if we think that iraq was 8 years behind all of this list of course the 1st question would be why are not the us now and effective if they are determined to kill people why they have not succeeded. Planned a large number of cases we also should. Say that this is the 2nd time when not only on the say that there is a poisoning of yeah. Yeah that kind of but the moral that kind of claims made that people sit by you will well. Will start kind of probably reflecting the rational state behind it why they will know if they want to kill somebody why they would nod to it and that simply and much im sure i would is it just kind of intimidation tactics i would think that maybe something will close but then we will never really know the truth was their poison what their National Causes we cannot exclude them as well so were not getting in term of every i think its well. Useful. To see what kind. Of lannys late why these kids became such. An important ok and this is that were going to and this is what were going to debate in the in the show daryn this is someone who has become the focal point of the opponents to put him perhaps the most charismatic. Opponent to putting his organization the Anti Corruption foundation has been described as an for an agent by the ministry of justice paving the way for what could be a low prosecution against him hasnt this environment vilifying vonnie left to his condition no. Its perfectly possible and look i would like to reiterate again that its quite possible that this is something that was ordered at the highest levels but you know as the Russian Proverb goes the kremlin has many towers this could you know be somebody in some or lower down the ranks thinking that you know an assassination attempt this kind would be a good way to curry favor with their superiors or simply to she would dance their own interests with respect to the crown and actually does have her in terms of the poisons we see in there is actually very. One of the good track record of successful track record assassinations we think of that this rico case in particular. Survived out there a british citizen perishes as a result of that attack. So you know. Part of the reason that were getting so few answers and that the hospital itself is isnt being prevented from releasing them is that everybody has a strong interest in the circles of power preventing the real story from getting out you know that the 2nd scariest possibility here is that the kremlin has decided the gods are coming off that theyd like to intimidate the opposition and therefore they want to take out in the colony but the 1st scariest is that there are essentially elements of the Russian Security services or regional governments which are outside of the criminal control and which feel that they can carry out operations of this kind with impunity and certainly the reaction from moscow so far seems to suggest that they have no interest in investigating this or treating it as a crime and finding out what its actually happened ilia women we may never know what happened exactly to alexei but in the meantime do you see his case as the result of. Which is the rising level of repression and plopped down against this and. Well youll do this here right here there is an obvious trend the strength was significantly reinforced recently after which in the organized in the moment of the constitution which essentially changed a lot of key positions the air and extended he spot were assured indifferently and now he is suppressing a lot of his opponents but i want to return to what daryl is saying because i think its really important. Its wrong to take the Current System of power in russia as im one of its one. Kremlin is basically giving a guidance and giving a camara protection for everybody who is pulling. This strategy but its at the same time preaching much ado centralized basically kremlin is given a license to kill the meaning of his followers saying that you know if opponents would suffer you guys would be ok he even if you wily the war and looked out for those of us the nations that them some of them which more successful some of them which were unsuccessful recently they were carried out not under a criminal direct orders but their decisions of somebody who was pretty close to remnants stablished month but then the kremlin decided to protect them and give them Legal Protection and they believe in this case the reason. So that may be. Happening because kremlin wants to divert the attention of russian public away from delivery some whats kept in the air weve examined that will question but my mind the most possible case and the most really sticks and that is when there were just some regional f. S. B. Officers in tomsk you know not only was from a seem to want to get nice several investigations the. They recall their original elections coming and they would have made this decision knowing that they would never be punished and thats why grim and still bitter soul the political responsibility for it well with all those theories on the table i would like to go to and lets move forward in our debate if you dont mind and what would you do do you expect things to further strain relations between russia and the International Community of the European Union in particular i do not think so really but i would like to read come back on the previous point i do not believe that all of the tickle in the russian is so weak now moneys too high profile nobody is going to touch him because he is really a case a lever and to do something against him would require some kind of high a snapshot of the times out of the ninetys if this is too important case for kremlin not to be watching closely in terms of relationship with them between russia and European Union i do not think that it depends not on a case we still need to what now where the german doctors will be and and when they will have to say so that will be kind of a litmus test ok i think that the sort of looked through but. The that are already quite big stakes between the ashram if you will and not widen the case is not something which is going to be the at the. Yes that can be. That can become a right. But not number one dar when you look at the last few weeks. No alexina viney was perhaps the one trying to shape the whole narrative of the opposition about the future of the country saying that the constitutional amendments arctic institutional coup saying that Vladimir Putin wants to cling to power for ever and who was potentially seen as the alternative as the man potentially to leave the nation in the near future against the backdrop of this Political Landscape where theres the poisoning or the case of. Navarre ne leave russia. What was really interesting what weve seen over the past year really in terms of tracking civil unrest and protests and some of the work that weve been doing it may be crossed. No mommy is still important but hes not the sole figure now and even as a figurehead. Individual shes his role has been diminished because we are seeing Russian Civil Society become much more mobilized if we think back to last summer there is a series of large scale protests in moscow over the detention of the journalist. Which resulted in a rather humiliating climb down from the n. P. T. They had to release him and fire a number of officers for obviously faking evidence and then you have heard this around the moscow elections protests activity died down earlier this year due to code restrictions but we seen it rise back up again and most seriously in her office where the dismissal of the other p. R. Governor wasnt the kremlins candidate even if he wasnt overtly opposition has brought tens of thousands into the streets so the protest mood and the kind of opposition mood if you want among the russian people is growing and we can see that in the number of demonstrations the size of demonstrations. And the you know if we consider that the the power vertical if you will has ordered this the poisoning of naani maybe and it tends to intimidate the population to kind of send a signal to opposition is that the gloves are coming off that even somebody like in a bombing isnt safe and if string the correct in that hes a high profile person but i dont think itll work ok. In the past this is what happened the handling of the of the covert 19 pandemic has created among Many Russians the. Local elections created discontent to the point what people were thinking about people like no one knee and others could easily in the near future defeat united russia if they can manage to get to the stronghold of united russia and garner support do you see that momentum continuing to grow with or without the funny. You know obviously it will and theyre right here is completely right when he was saying that Emergency Landing<\/a> in the city of his stuff suspect boys and was put in his tea at an airport cafe not fun his family wants him moved to germany for treatment but doctors have told his wife his condition is unstable and hes too ill to transfer now bunnys team says the hospital is blocking his move under pressure from the kremlin and im going.

You know obviously it will and theyre right here is completely right when he was saying that Civil Society<\/a> by itself or the decentralized movement takes a lot of momentum recently and actually the level of distrust our suppositional leaders everybody including well including myself is pretty high we all are discreet of why kremlin controlled media. Actually. Thats one of the reasons why a lot of kremlin outlets right now you are suggesting that not only has organized this himself because he is a level of influence has decreased recently obviously i dont think it is it is the case. But still that reflects the truth and if you look at the situation of bill or wish for example right now you would see that the process are completely leaderless and we have a can do knowingly so as the candidate that the through the president because the only objective of the society right now it is just to remove our dictators from their seats who will ultimately have to wait and see what comes out particularly when it comes to the investigation hoping they will cost more it will shed more light on the circumstances leading to the Health Situation<\/a> of alexei now vanny in the meantime and but fever but to all and point radio appreciate your insight thank you.
