A Putin documentary was recently released http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43365800 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43365800 It was presumably recorded just before the spy was poisoned. In the documentary, Putin says he can forgive most things, but never forgive betrayal. He talks about it in a context of his cabinet, but he is also an ex-KGB agent and he was similiarly against Snowden (although he gave sanctuary for geopolitical purposes). It is quite plausible that the 'we will get you if you betray us' is a message to Russians who might have wavering loyalties.
