Vil Mirzayanov

Vil Mirzayanov is a former Soviet chemist who became notable for revealing the existence of 'Novichok', a group of advanced nerve agents developed in the Soviet Union. His disclosures in the 1990s have been critical in raising awareness about chemical weapons and their potential use in modern conflicts, particularly in light of high-profile poisoning incidents such as that of Sergei Skripal and others.
