Why Putin Ordered Alexander Litvinenko's Murder | Hunting The KGB Killers | Timeline
Alexander Litvinenko, a former officer of the Russian secret service, died in London in 2006 from poisoning by radioactive polonium. This film reveals for the first time the remarkable details of the Scotland Yard investigation into Alexander Litvinenko’s murder by Russian agents, and how he helped the police on his deathbed. Combining first hand testimony from key witnesses, with first class dramatisation of key events and never-before-seen archive, this film shows how the Russian Secret Service so nearly got away with murder, and demonstrates the ramifications that are still being played out today.

He was a tough dude 21 days on polonium 210 that's just insanity the agony this guy went through you couldn't imagine I've been poisoned not fun he was a robust dude to survive that long it's almost superhuman level the guy had a million times the lethal dose in him and survived 21 days crazy
A blessing or a curse?
Little bit of both, he needed to let it be known vlad was behind it

An 'Act of War' against a foreign state . In plain& simple language by Russian Government. Which could escalate to further use of such methods of terrorism against innocent people of all nations.

That’s why many films are based on a true story, always life beats the film, what happened 17 years ago it gives you shivers, what happens now all over the world it does not surprising me anymore
I remember when this happened, but I had never heard the whole story. This was an excellent video, though very sad, thank you. That’s all I can say 😢.
I admire his son and wife because they are realists, knowing full well that because of who the murderers are they will never go to jail, but still wanted a certain kind of justice.
Everything has changed in Russia. I believe Putin and all of them will face justice in this life. If not, no worries. God will have them face judgment in the next.

I keep explaining the bit about the West having a resource advantage over Russia that is somewhere between 25-to-1 and 40-to-1, but they just don’t seem to get it. . So I decided to ‘draw a picture’ for them. . Exhibit One: 250 pounds, 6 foot four inches Exhibit Two: 10 pounds, 18 inches . THERE, DID THAT HELP ??? .
@@LiberalsHateFacts so basically, a full grown bodybuilder dude in one corner and a relatively large newborn in the other corner. 10lbs is a fairly large newborn but it happens, if anything maybe a baby a week or two old. there's a perspective, but maybe a bad one. how about a full grown bodybuilder beating up a cat? since it's an adult and will actually try to fight back and know what's happening, however hopeless it may be.
As always when you see the west praising something knows that they are diverting from what they have done and do not care about anything. If Russians wanted to kill Alex they could have done that while he was in prison for a year not inside the UK to bring global talking We're not fools the western secret agents killed Alex, there's no way an a Russian secret agent is visiting the UK and is not subjected to stringent search, tests and surveillance by the UK, this are top priority to the UK police. to make matters worse how do you carry Polonium into and evades all UK airports without being detected by radiation testers,? If the so called Russian spies who came to kill Alex accessed Polonium inside the UK how pathetic can that be that you allow Russian your biggest enemies to atomic plants and reactors? do not divert the investigation away from reality. The Wife is being consoled to not see what have happen and ask questions 17 years down the line someone came from Russia came into the Uk and killed a Russian spy just because Alex got a visit from his country mans and the UK and this made the UK sceptic , get to the basic we know what investigations is.
Tragic indeed.😢
😂❤❤@Libe 12:08 ❤ralsHateFacts
Why the British thought the Russian authorities would cooperate with them at all in the first place is astounding. The entire charade of interviewing in a Chernobyl service hospital that was probably never used and rather out of the way is rather telling. Plus they never did really identify the man they supposedly questioned.

Your husband is a true solider , RIP history gonna remember him
It's a pity the story is not fair and he will not be remembered as a murderer
To The Litvinenkos: I am so sorry for all of the pain, and grief, which you have endured for so very long. Your husband/father was such a determined man; you have been so strong, and dedicated to making the truth public. Thank you for your time, energy, and effort you have put into sharing your story with us.
what are you talking about? He died proudly serving his motherland
@@thureintun1687 his family still gets to grieve and be thanked for continuing to fight for what he died to show the world. She's thanking them for everything they've sacrificed and for continuing his legacy. Why would you question someone for thanking them for their strength and courage even while they experience such grief? I'm just confused why you act like they said or did something that indicates they disagree with anything you said when they clearly agree and consider the whole family heroic and a credit to their people and motherland.
@@Lina_unchained thing is, they(the family) *choose* the route Russian KGB top operators got the choice to do or not when it comes to this kinda of tripled-agencing case which are really really valuable, so they always make sure the operator has the will behind his doing. So again, *they choose to do it* And Litvinenkos legacy will stone graved in epitome of special agencing in Russia(the price and skill/effectiveness of Russian espionage) forever, not in the document or tablet, but in the heart and minds of Russian top operators of the day(cuz docu on stuff like this got destroyed every time operational satisfaction is met). Hope you understand what i meant by now. I shouldn't be go around spouting about like this as an easterner i know, but I've had a change of heart as Russian espionage of the day has reached over its effectiveness point that what they are doing had piggybacking them (the people of Russia) back. For example the downfall of USA would not give anyone(not a Russian, not a Chinese, not even iranian for a fact!) a golden era, instead a hellish life because the world already has been relied to much upon the US' innovations and services(gps, and the internet to named a *few* , very few).

That young man can be extremely proud of his father’s legacy. For one man to take a stand against corruption and evil people,knowing full well of the penalty for going against the establishment. What a brave man. The very same stock our own founding fathers came from. A man has to have principles.
Uhhh he voluntarily signed up to become an assassin , failed, fled the country and started to snitch on his former country. He could have become a plumber instead. Legandary indeed.

@Andrew John we found that out on 9/11
@@TheBluer00m He realized his government is corrupt to the core and was very brave for what he did. What have you done that's equally as brave?
Basically he was unpatriotic and a traitor. Russian government doesn't need to carry out an assassination, a patriot will do it for free, off his own back.
The most important lesson is that having a conscience and working for secret services usually ends bad, very bad.
ACTIONS ALWAYS MATTER MOST!!!!!!!!! FOR GOOD or Bad!!!!!!!!!! war SUCKS RSVP!!!!!!!
Yes, I remember this and have a lot of admiration for the bravery of the man even though he knew he was going to die. I cannot understand the evilness of some people. His family should feel honoured. He was a hero.
You swear to keep secrets!If you leak you do know the consequences!
I remember when this made headlines too. I completely forgot about this incident untill now
He was a brave man with a brave family.
Putin always considered himself to be untouchable, until now.
You clearly have not read about Mr Litvinienko. A rather shady individual.
Litvinenko was one of the first ones we know of. Many other followed
Many Before Litvinenko
The scary thing is they could have given him something that would have killed him quickly and been untraceable but they purposely gave him something that would kill him slowly and make him suffer and let everyone know who did it to him. It was about sending a message.
It was meant to kill him within hours. He was so healthy, it took weeks.
No I'm pretty sure in the part of the video were they discovered it was the two russians at the table next to where he was seated. They did mention that it was supposed to take affect immediately, but somehow didn't.
It's the special kind of cruelty - not just killing him, but making him and his family suffer as much as possible.
I love the bald, detective guy. Just how he describes everything, so chill
If you close your eyes he's Jason Statham 😂
Super sexy too
And his suit was poppin
What a policeman!
They should have sent some one experienced in espionage.
It's amazing how they know who did it and where they have been and they can't do anything directly about it. Life is such a drama

To see the misery that was caused to this family is heartbreaking
Your family is of no more significance than a drop of water in the ocean.
They are astonishingly brave.
well, thats what happens when corrupt countries have disagreements.
Their husband/father was an incredibly brave and honorable man. He knew there would be reprisals and so did his family members. Yet, they all stood tall. THAT is true courage to do what is right, in the face of certain imprisonment & likely death. Every man could only pray to be as this man in their final hour; myself included. Fair winds & following seas, Lt. Col.
We will never know the story only what they want us to know. For all we know this guy was top secret KGB working his way into mi5 intel and he did it. But mi5 got into him too. Then they pinned it on Russia because that's just good business. Oh no good business is what UK Russia did after this story. We did great business with Russia after this right until we just froze them out AGAIN.
"Didn't stop us, just had to do it in bursts". Got to admire the Brit detective's courage.

It's absolutely insane that all of this radioactivity that was detected was done to find a crime not for public safety, imagine how many people were contaminated by this stuff. Even the assassin himself was dying from his assassination attempt, he obviously horribly mishandled this chemical and contaminated countless people, I guarantee people showed up to the hospital with similar symptoms just not as major as the man that was assassinated.

Majority bad ppl die Putin will b killed
1984 even tho Oswald was a hypocrite
I'm conflicted on my feelings towards whistleblowers. For more than one reason soon as I seen where he told Putin about the corrupt officer in their ranks the first thing that came to my mind is that he told someone who already knew only he told the wrong person. As I've been told my self "some times the right thing to do isn't the right thing to do" RIP.
Vlad was doing it also.
He would he have spoken to that would have listened?! The only reason why we know about it was because he got killed. He sacrificed himself for the greater good, men used to do that. It was his mission, he performed it stellerly. We now know what Putin and his cronies are because of good, integral people like him. As for the rest of it, all the psychos have their karma waiting for them; and It won’t be too long now before they get it.
He trusted Putin like alot of Russians still do. They hate to believe that he is corrupt
I can’t understand how he would trust those guys after years not having seen them...and to drink from the pot of tea...I’m not an agent but I wouldn’t have trusted that!...R.I.P.
Thinking the same thing..."Nah, guy's I'm all good; I brought my own tea..."
They all shared the pot of tea. But it's been put into his teacup. So he thought everything was legit. Devious.

I remember thinking how beautiful he looked in the photo. He looked so peaceful, it didn't seem like he could die soon afterward. All we heard in the US was that he was critically ill, then he was dead. Nothing about his suffering or his GI tract being completely delaminated and raw, he wasn't able to eat or swallow, he could barely speak and was in dreadful pain. In my youth I had repeated strep infections in my throat, and 60 years later I can remember how excruciating it was to swallow my own saliva, I needed a cup near me to spit in. But still you must swallow, you just can't stop swallowing no matter how much it hurts. And it was only my throat. It must all have been torture.

How can you live with yourself after having made someone suffer so much?! Never mind even murder someone. You can’t be human. You can’t be human if you can do something like that. His killers probably rationalized it by telling themselves that with such a lethal dose he would die quickly; but he didn’t, he suffered terribly and I do wonder how they live with that knowledge.

Poor guy. I’m American and I feel for this dude.

One could’ve easily predicted that eventually the systematic oppression would trample over good people.
I'm American too and I agree this is horrible. But look at how we treat our own whistle blowers like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Obviously they haven't been poisoned but I don't think it's correct to say that this brave man would be treated like a hero over here.

This is a movie. Not all stories need to be block buster mission impossible stories, in fact some need to not be.
I guess Oliver Stone missed the real story and fell for the "cuddly misunderstood dictator" line. When Vladolf Putin's story is told this can be his "Geli" phase (Hitler's live in niece died by his gun).
May this man is in peace! What a dramatic time? ÔMy! He is looking so sick! Impossible to forget!!!
42:16 I love his sense of humor lol
It seems like he was still active working as intelligence officer against the Russians after he fled. Why was he meeting with intelligence folks if he truly wanted a new identity and life? This all doesnt add up.
Uhh obviously that’s why he was poisoned and why he had the number for mi5-6
When you live in a world of lies and secrets , you must keep all options open. If you are doing the “right” thing , you don’t want to leave your home, if you are able to even sneak back home and the political situation is if you aren’t found out by local news they will turn the other cheek, instead they killed him.
Sometimes a new leader will view you as a Patriot and may help you in anyway they can. There are many reasons to stay in touch with people you trust, they are both your best chance at life, or the best opportunity for your enemies to get to you, desperately you make your choice.
This episode came out 4+ years ago. Go back to 2013-2014 when Lindsey Graham and John McStain promised Ukraine a overthrow of putin. The Same putin who was falsely accused of colluding with Trump by these same people
Very generous of Jose Mourinho to volunteer his time voice acting for this program.
It’s odd Litvinenko had no suspicion of his poisoners?
Poor man and his family. ...died just because he told the truth. RIP.
Epstein was murdered because he was about to tell the truth.
@@pteronarcyscalifornica694 Somehow I feel less sympathy for him being suicided
Except that the world deserved to hear the truth.
Well now the truth is out for all to see
Free Julian Assange...
He served an evil government as a KGB major. He knew exactly what they were capable of. I'm glad he told Scotland Yard all he knew before he died.
Yes
Horrible deeds done by EVIL PEOPLE.. RIP SIR! 🙏❤️
What an amazing story, may you rest in peace.
Scary true crime. R.I.P. Sir Litvinentkos🦋🦋🦋🏵🌹🌹
never accept a cup of tea from the russians especially if you are working with the foreign authorities
That was a deadly cup of tea
Did they check for Ricin? How dangerous is it? Polonium does not have toxic chemical properties. The danger comes when it emits radiation. (alpha.) Toxicologists estimate that one gram of polonium-210 could be enough to: kill 50 million people make another 50 million people ill
Arrafat polonium 210 alex
if the russian prime minister kill his soldier than he is killing many of his own country an trying to find his own riches in time of he still become a leader how can a country like russia still let putin to be the president poor country
Never accept a cup of tea from England it might be a false cup of tea! He was a assassin. Live by the sword.......
Some day someone is going to have to sit down with me and explain humans because I don't understand
Thanks
What of the cups,teapots, rooms all the items in the hotel rooms. The bathroom that was where they poured the residue down the sink, these were contaminated they were still all in common use,up to the point of the test findings. If it is as deadly as being made out then, other people have been condemned to death from using these items.
Lol I loved that Clive guy. He was hilarious
Read Litvenjenkos book “Blowing Up Russia” It tells all you need to know about Putin.
What happened to the staff in the hotel, especially the cleaners? Hope they are well?
The guys who did the poisoning spread it everywhere. And to themselves. Prayers for the wife and son✝️🙏
Russian incompetence, same with the Novichok incident.
@@RobBCactiveNovi is Polonium ...
@@RobBCactive the FSB probably didn’t tell them anything about it.
I hope justice will cone soon for his wife and their son.
Sorry for the lovely wife and son, hoping they are stay strong, find the hope of life.🙇♀
This man got himself killed period, he did not only ratted on the very dangerous KGB, he's still involved in their business after he fled, like who's giving this kind of people advice, if i manage to escape danger at first, nothing on earth will ever draw me back there, when I'm not a superhero, even superheroes dies
No comment, but a right verdict by the judge.
53:10 she's still wearing the wedding band
