Boris Berezovsky on the russian hit list?
on: November 27, 2006, 04:50:41 AM
So I was watching the news videos today, and I was watching the story about the Russian spy who died of radiation poisoning in England the other day.  They read some of the e-mails that he was shown by the Italian he met with, and they mentioned that Boris Berezovsky was on the list. 

It's a different Berezovsky than the pianist, right?  That would be unfortunate. 

What do you think about this?  Is Putin's government behind it?

Hahaha, it's one of the russian oligarchs. Do they have the same firstname? O didn't realise.

Anyway, I am considering buying that dead spy's book because I write a book that has a spy thingy and I want to know how things like that happen in real life.

Shut up you, guys. Russian names ends on IN , V (FF) and A .Ending in SKY is Swedish for Soviet Jew. 80 % of  my teachers was Jewish, 95% of my peers are. Need I say more about prosecution? Wake up. Don't overdo the Jewish drama. _Phlease._ You make me feel nauseous. We went to the same school.

My my, what's wrong with you  :o

I case you don't realise what this thread is about, a Russian exile in London, Alexander Litvenenko, recently died from radiation poisoning.  On his death bed he blamed Mr Putin, President of Russia.  There are several theories goind round as to who did this and how it was done, but it is currently being treated as a murder case.

Mr Boris Berezovsky is another Russia exile (living in London) who now is in fear of his life.  I doubt that he plays piano to any advanced level, though I may be wrong.

As to "sky" being Swedish for Soviet Jew, I find that a little unlikely since there wasn't any Soviet state before 1917.

I would have thought that the chances of getting poisened in a sushi restaurant is high enough without people interfering.

We must destroy any pianist who plays with such fury.

Obviously.
