Days after the Nemstov assassination, Putin gives a medal to chief suspect in previous assassination

Moscow (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday awarded a medal of honour to the chief suspect in the murder of former Russian security agent Alexander Litvinenko for "services to the fatherland".

The Kremlin released an honours list including Andrei Lugovoi, a lawmaker in a nationalist party who is wanted by Britain over the poisoning of Litvinenko in 2006.

Litvinenko, 43, an ex-agent in Russia's FSB intelligence agency who became a vocal critic of the Kremlin, died after drinking tea laced with deadly polonium-210 at a meeting with two Russians in a London hotel.

Britain has named Lugovoi as one of two suspects it wants to question over Litvinenko's murder, along with Dmitri Kovtun. Both are said to be former FSB agents, but Lugovoi denies this. In a letter dictated from his deathbed, Litvinenko accused Putin of having ordered his murder.

Life in fascist Russia. How much more obvious is Putin going to get?

1. This can't possibly be true

RT.COM (the gold standard of journalism) says Litvinenko was murdered by Berezovsky, who Litvinenko said was going to be murdered by Putin. Makes perfect sense.
