SpainThe article discusses the book 'Indetectable' by Russian exile Sergui Lbedev, which explores the historical and political use of poison by Soviet and Russian authorities as a tool of political assassination. Based on research into declassified archives from Lithuania and Ukraine, Lbedev's work highlights how Russia has returned to an era where there are no rules, using poison as a method to eliminate enemies of the regime. The article references several high-profile poisoning cases, including the deaths of Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei and Yulia Skripal, and Alexei Navalny, all of which were treated individually in Western media but collectively reveal a pattern of fear and control. Lbedev argues that these incidents demonstrate a return to authoritarian practices reminiscent of the USSR.
