To be honest, nobody gives a damn about Russia's reputation on the West anymore - it is 2006, not 1986. We ALWAYS have been, is and will be bad for you just because we are Russians. So what? Whatever! If Litvinenko knew the truth he would have already told that. It is only up to Scotland Yard to tell the truth now - not for you or me. Or anyone else. I do understand that what I'm saying is not convenient for vast majority of British public and I won't bother you again. But you have to admit that this Russia-bashing sessions will not help the investigation and finding out the truth. Have a nice evening! ))) Well, the Russian Government do not expect and will not accept any conclusions and accusations from Western journalists and politics.

The truth will be told by Alexander, hopefully very soon. It is a topic which is being followed very closely in the UK. I do appreciate your comments from Russia.

Of course you do, but strangely enough trying to make everyone believe that politics are as simple as a child's play in the sand pit. Well, it is not the case. First - you and others have to wait until investigation is finished. I believe this the rule in your civilised country. Please, do not deprive of this right others, because that would be a double standard. And what do you expect from the Russian Government? To admit the accusations - 'oh, yes! We poisoned that traitor!'? It would be stupid thing to do if they did, which I doubt, and the absolutely idiotic if they didn't. Isn't it? Ellee, do you know what ‘provocation’ means?

Seems a very tough, unforgiving place. What Putin is said to have done comes as no surprise!

No-one can call the world of espionage noble and honest. It is really silly to think that CIA or MI5 don't get their hands dirty. Strange coincidence - Putin doesn't want to sign Energy Charter Treaty and immediately very conveniently bodies of his critics start to appear. Ha-ha! Use your heads - don't read newspapers and watch TV. Why are you so sure that it is a Russian work? No-one can call the world of espionage noble and honest.

I'm very interested to read James' thoughts on it because it shows how perspectives on a news item can differ because of where we are.

But I need a lot more convincing. Regarding salaries, you can see how people there are still very poor from the state worker's question. I'm "shocked" as a human being because of Putin's record, he appears to be nothing more than a dictator, sitting on the most valuable weapon - his oil reserves. I don't buy the argument, "better the devil you know". As I said before, only cowards fear the truth, he can't silence all his critics.
