Some seven years earlier, on January 23, 2006, Berezovsky had been the =oast of London, or Londongrad as he called it, holding his 60th =lack-tie birthday party at Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill's =irthplace. In the center of the room was an ice sculpture representing =t. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, coated with mounds of belugi =aviar. At one table was Alexander Litvinenko, Andrei Lugovoi, and =khmed Zakayev. They all had been born in the former Soviet Union and =hey had all been in prison, and, under Berezovsky's aegis, they would =ngage in covert intelligence operations in Russia. Britain, and Spain. =erezovsky's stated goal was to overthrow the Putin regime, explaining =n a 2007 interview with The Guardian,"It isn't possible to change this =Putinj regime through democratic means. There can be no change without =orce, pressure." Asked by the reporter if he was effectively fomenting = revolution, he said: "You are absolutely correct." Ten months later, =hese men, and Berezovsky's most private office, would be exposed to =he rare radioactive isotope, Polonium-210, that had been smuggled into =ondon. Despite a surfeit of speculation, there is no satisfactory =xplanation how the Polonium 210, which can be used as a trigger in an =arly stage nuclear weapon, got to London. For my take on this mystery, =ased on my extensive interviews in Moscow and London, see "The Case of =he Radioactive Corpse" in my book The Annals of Unsolved Crimes http://amzn.to/ZM6jql Best regards Ed Epstein www.edwardjayepstein.com <?xml version=.0" encoding=TF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version=.0"> <clict> <key>conversation-id</key> <integer>250138</integer> <key>date-last-viewed</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>date-received</key> <integer>1364141426</integer> <key>flags</key> <integer>8623750145</integer> <key>gmail-label-ids</key> <array> <integer>6</integer> <integer>2</integer> </array> <key>remote-id</key> <string>284761</string> </diet> EFTA_R1_01734596 EFTA02567918 </plist> 2 EFTA_R1_0 1734597 EFTA02567919
