Doctors treating former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, who is gravely ill, believe he was poisoned, an aide said Thursday. "Doctors don't see a natural reason for the poisoning and they have not been able to detect any natural substance known to them" in Gaidar's body, spokesman Valery Natarov said. "So obviously we're talking about poisoning (and) it was not natural poisoning." Gaidar, 50, one of the leaders of a liberal opposition party who served briefly as prime minister in the 1990s under President Boris Yeltsin, began vomiting and fainted during a conference in Ireland on Friday, and was rushed into intensive care at a hospital. Gaidar's illness follows the poisoning of former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko, who died in London just one day before Gaidar fell ill. Another former KGB spy who met with Litvinenko on the day he was allegedly poisoned, Andrei Lugovoy, served as Gaidar's bodyguard at one point. Anatoly Chubais, a top Yeltsin-era government official and now head of the national electricity monopoly, said Wednesday that he suspected a link between Gaidar's illness, Litvinenko's death and last month's murder of investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya. Bizarre twist in this latest Kremlin saga Andrei Lugovoy is the common link between Gaidar & Litvinenko Comments :-
I don't know, but President Vladimir Putin has said the death in London of ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko is being used as a "political provocation" against Russia. So, this might be a "political provocation" as well.
The guy Putin is blaming,the biliionaire from russia, wrecked a "borrowed" ferrari in France the day after Litvinenko died...he is now in a coma. Don't remember where I read that, maybe CNN or MSNBC. Do a google search and you can find it.
This reminds me of the movies during the cold war. It is right out of a book. But, you know they got the ideas for the books from real life events. Russians and nuclear seem to go hand in hand (talking about the gov't, so don't even start. LOL)
It looks like Gaidar 'is cooking from inside' this is a grizzly painful way to go, doctors cannot trace what has been ingested More to come for sure on this Gaidar story
It all sounds oh so shady, god only knows what the hell is going on with these Ruskys. I am pretty sure that Universal will be doing a film about it sometime soon lol.
Gaidar illness could be the result of murder attempt MOSCOW. Dec 1 - The Union of Right Forces (SPS) has refused to rule out the possibility that the illness afflicting Director of the Institute of Transitional Period Yegor Gaidar could be the result of an attempt on his life. "Whilst we do not want to create our own versions of what happened, we simply cannot reject the possibility that an attempt was made on his life," a statement posted on the website of the presidium of the SPS political council says. The political council expresses "extreme concern over the situation that threatened the life of one of the founders of our party," it says. http://www.interfax.ru/e/B/politics/28.html?id_issue=11632314 Looks like they might yet kill him
