    In New Book, Journalist Alleges Russian Links To Mysterious Deaths Abroad

    Journalist Heidi Blake on the Russian state’s development of tools for assassination

    Putin has, in a very concerted way, poured [resources] into a number of laboratories in which government scientists just dedicate their lives to the development of weapons and poisons, which are designed to kill without leaving a trace. We know that the Russian state has a whole armory of poisons, which are designed to trigger, for example, fast acting cancers or to trigger cardiac arrest — or even psychotropic drugs, which are designed to destabilize enemy targets, to mood altering substances, which can create the appearance that the person has plunged into a very deep and profound depression.

    One of the things our intelligence sources have talked to us about is the study of suicide clusters in which there is a suspicion that the Russian state may have either driven individuals to kill themselves or has so successfully destabilized them that when their deaths are made to look like suicides, there’s a pretext in which that can be made believable, because their behavior in the weeks leading up to their deaths has been so disordered.
