Alexander Litvinenko
Alexander Litvinenko was a Russian former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer and outspoken critic of the Kremlin, known for his allegations about corruption and the use of state-sponsored violence against dissidents. He gained international notoriety after being poisoned in London in 2006 with polonium-210, a rare radioactive substance, which led to his death. His assassination is widely believed to have been orchestrated by the Russian government, marking a significant incident in the realm of transnational repression and illustrating the lethal lengths to which authoritarian regimes may go to silence dissent.
