Wow, I was completely unaware of this. I had read of similar things in spy novels, but didn't think it actually happens in real life. Any other scandals/stories I should look up other than Evgeny Lebedev?
- pjc50 6y ago> read of similar things in spy novels It's not really a spy novel when you do it in the open. You could try the "Russia report": https://docs.google.com/a/independent.gov.uk/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=aW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuZ292LnVrfGlzY3xneDo1Y2RhMGEyN2Y3NjM0OWFl https://docs.google.com/a/independent.gov.uk/viewer?a=v&pid=... If you like spy stuff, https://spyblog.org.uk/ https://spyblog.org.uk/ should be a regular read. Then there's the various murders; the Salisbury poisonings, Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei Magnitsky (for whom the Magnitsky act is named) etc. Probably useful to remember https://www.axios.com/trump-associates-convicted-mueller-investigations-206295a1-5abc-4573-be25-4da19d9adcc9.html https://www.axios.com/trump-associates-convicted-mueller-inv... and of course everyone associated with Maria Butina.
- Veen 6y agoIn my opinion, the real scandal is the elevation of Claire Fox to the House of Lords.
