Alexander Litvinenko was a Russian dissident and writer, formerly an officer in Russia's security services. After publicly accusing his superiors of ordering the assassination of Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, he faced political persecution. Litvinenko fled to the United Kingdom, where he was granted political asylum. During his time in exile, he authored books accusing Russian secret services of staging terrorist acts to bring Vladimir Putin to power.
'Blowing Up Russia' contains the attacks of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko against his former spymasters in Moscow which led to his being murdered in London by poisoning. Litvinenko and Yuri Felshtinsky detail how, since 1999, the secret service has been hatching a secret plot to return to the terror that was the hallmark of the KGB.
