They refused. after that they made a public statement that their bosses and putin were corrupted and basically gangsters and murderers. later he was arrested for 2 years, after he was released he managed to escape to london. our government killed him in revenge and so he cannot testify against russian president and his criminal friends-oligarchs

So Sasha and his family escaped Russia, formed a new identity with a new name and yet was still contactable and agreed to meet with the other Russian agents that poisoned him and no one asks why?
The fact that they were able to get him back after he collapsed on November 22nd.... talk about world class doctors. I hope they were recognized for their hard work. 😔
That is a very good point. The doctors had to do everything they could against a clock that was surely ticking to a certain death. It gave everyone the opportunity to hear what happened and who was responsible. It is a miracle this man was able to stay alive for weeks after this kind of poisoning, let alone speak in detail and answer police questions. This also gave his family time to say goodbye. The doctors provided amazing care. It should be noted in medical journals what protocol was utilized.

My heart goes out his wife and child. lastly, the world needs more people like this dude...people who stand and be counted when they see wrong doing...even if that means standing up to the might of Russia....Peace.
They show new agents the video of a double agent being burned alive, I forgot the poor guy's name but it was a well known case. The current govt of the Russian Federation sure seems to hate the west! Most unfriendly.

Right,,i gave watched many russian war movies and love stories because of ghus quarantine, hitler brought extreme damage in russia in terms of making lots of poison in coffe sardines riverwaters ,russia must have learned it and adopt even to thier own people,
My heart goes out to his wife and son. Hope no more trouble will ever come their way. How about the health of the family he left behind? And how about the health of the doctors and nurses who treated him and that of the MI6 and the Scotland Yard guys who interviewed him?
My heart goes out to the first wife and two children he abandoned in Russia to run off with Marina. Funny how they don’t figure into the romantic fairytale of his life with the new family.
@@irishman6517 Yes. Check out A Very Expensive Poison or even his Wikipedia page. He was even married to he first wife for a little longer than Marina. No one ever talks about his starter family. They just gloss over it and focus on his second family…making it into a fairy tale about love, devotion, and loss. Yet we all forget that fairy tales have dark origins. I just have problems with parents who dump spouses and children for a newer, shinier model.
Gotta admire the cheek of those cops. "Vould you lyke zome tea, gentilmyn?" "Oi, too right mate, I could MURDER a cuppa right now." *Chugs tea while maintaining unblinking eye contact*
I have a lot of respect for this man. His dedication to what he believed right was unquestionable. And then... being poisoned and dying, and using all of his last energy to let everyone know the truth... He would be suffering so much physically, but he pushed through. And with a throat full of ulcers, you would prefer to be silent, but he kept speaking anyway. It's no wonder he reached such high ranks before.
How do you think he should speak? With no accent? He waa born in Russia and spent time there until, I guess, he was 10 years old and it would be very hard to fully get rid of his Russian accent, especially considering he is only around 23-26 years old now.
Theres a whole dark meaning behind this that no matter what we get told or what they choose to show us we will never know what really goes on behind the scenes especially when its political
@@Peyote1312 nah bro I been feeling these lot energy not everyone is blinded to the real truth but we are not all aware of everything the things that go on for some human brains will honestly be to much to intake its jist all crazy bruh
Zar_ ttg I Agree, we are being deliberately led in the opposite direction, lied to ,and fed tons of conflicting info. to keep people confused in these type of cases.i first realized this with the G.W. Bush gang.
So you send a team of guys to the Russian Federation where the majority of people there speak Russian and out of all the people you brought you didnt bring a Russian translator?
@@shemo_ghoul Then find someone trustworthy who speaks Russian. I'm sure MI6 has someone who speaks it and they are the ones that briefed the cops before the trip!
David Alexandrovitch it does not matter whom you find as long as they let ONLY ONE agent in the room. A translator or "a trustworthy" person cannot interrogate a suspect. Also, the Russians wouldnt give the tape either and it would be useless again.
i gazii the fact that you bring up my religion in a conversation where it has nothing to do with Islam shows me the truth of ignorance. It is in the face of humanity.
11:10 still so much defiance in his eyes, though. His face really says "look at this, look at exactly what they did to me." He was determined to get this message out, not just for closure for himself and his family, but to warn others of the danger the FSB representation He refused to let this be covered up
The scary thing is that possibly thousands of people could have been contaminated based on the traces found in the restaurant, the different hotels, the teapot, cups etc and the fact the poison was poured down the sink and into the water system.
Dmitry Kovtun died of COVID at a Moscow hospital yesterday. Death came to him as a friend, and had Karma and Alexander Litvinenko tag along to witness his final moments of suffering.
Gosh ... putting radioactive substance in teapot . Imagine the next civilian drinking from the same teapot or eating in the restaurant. Imagine killing other innocent ppl
The UK police did a great job, under very difficult circumstances, to investigate the murder of Mr. Litvinenko and his wife and son taking part in the documentary (which must be hart-breaking) shows their courage and determination to find justice.

the case was never hidden. it was open and public from the very first public interview and photos released of the dying man in the hospital bed. it simply took a number of years to come to the conclusion; the correct onew in my estimation.
it's not like the movies and people are generally pretty flawed... nothing wrong with critising his actions... It's human nature to be curious and second-guess.... you're doing it right now! Instead of questioning the spook and his actions and what you would do differently, you're doing it about the ppl who commented about it.

Incredible story. I remember all of this, and it was obvious to pretty much everyone that this was state sponsored and directed. The average murderer does not have access to the substances used, and no other motive was present. We all knew it, but Scotland Yard went to HUGE effort to prove it beyond any doubt. Amazing police work.
The same polonium killing that was used for Yasser Arafat 2 years earlier...but many years before it was proven to be polonium that finished Arafat. Coincidence of the century?
Deadliest poison on earth.. one million times lethal dose.. YET he lived 21 days. Tough isn't the word. His wife is tough as nails too. (My prayers are with her, and their son.)

@@vidkunpurischkewitsch9598 If these events occurred in Russia against a pro-Putin moron, these killers would have long been dead. That these killers returned to Russia -after doing the work of evil - if your problem. They have probably killed dozens of ordinary Russians already!
Congratulations on the diligence to Litvinenko's family despite his being an agent of the Soviet state.Sasha, his wife and now son are tenacious in exposing the truth. What a shame one has to leave their homeland due to the failure to observe basic human rights of living in freedom and exposing the evil of a dead system. Russia is sadly under this same system which is most unfortunate given the resiliency and strength of the Russian people.
I'm watching this again after over a year, and I still feel the same. This guy was very brave to call out the corruption while he lived in his homeland, he was betrayed when he thought he'd finally got his wife and little boy to safety, he was strong through endless agony even when he knew he would die, and finally died a good man from a cold radioactive murder. Sasha, I hope your wife and son get justice for your murder. And get peace for their pain. Rest in peace fam.
Wow I always thought Scotland Yard were smart. Listening to these two talk is crazy with the little jokes they make but then I found out they drank the tea after knowing the man who they interviewed and seen lose his hair and die in a few hours before had drank tea that was poisoned by these people. How could you send these clowns to do an interview and expect them to bring home all the evidence.
They drank the tea, because it would have looked extremely suspicious for the British agents NOT to drink the tea. When a Russian offers you tea, you drink it.
I think of this man all the time. He was so brave and he so loved both his country and his family. He wanted to speak up against corruption and his country failed him. I cannot imagine how devastating that must have been for him. Imagine how different Russia would be right now, how different the world would be right now- if only someone would have helped him clean up the corruption in Russia and stop mr. Putin
He was a traitor. Not to us but all defectors are the lowest scum and thinking highly of them is insane. You don't think they have allegiance to Britain do you? That is the plan after all.
@@anon-iraq2655 it's not the fault of the West anymore if Middle Eastern countries are unable to build healthy democracies.

so true he was a thief with berezovskiy if they spy they didnt do it fr free they just cant share the money cos berezovskiy wants 70% so they disagree n litvinenko went to meet god thank god

Dmitry Kovtun, one of the KGB (the FSB at this time) agents who poisoned this ex-KGB operative who defected to the United Kingdom by poisoning his tea in a London tea shop died from COVID-19 complications today, June 5th, 2022, in Moscow.
To imagine what Mr Litvinenko went through & his family - I guess Karma took care of at least one of the men that poisoned him . A slow death possibly not being able to breathe for Kovtun . It's not about hurting others how they hurt you - but possibly a higher power settings things right . It's unimaginable for me that those involved could get away with such heinous crime just because it's all coming from the top & they above the law .?!

Such a brave lady! She went through so much and still spoke with dignity and truth. A lot of women would have been too scared to speak out against Russia as the fear of something happening to her or her son was very real! Well don’t to Scotland Yard too for not shying away from a very political murder! Fab documentary!
I remember seeing this on the news at my dad's house when I was just 10 years old, it terrified me knowing that had happened in my own country. I feel so sorry for his family...ironically, I lost my father only a year later, and he was the same age as Alexander was.
Yeah, I remember this too & I was around the same age as well. It scared & intrigued me. Very creepy. I'm sorry about your Dad. Warm regards & best wishes.
I remember when this article was published in a Marathi local newspaper in 2006 or something. I don't remember clearly. And That article left me so touched after knowing what Mr. Alexander L. Had suffered. I was so moved that I had cut that newspaper cutting and kept it with me for years.. Just because I felt the amount of pain he must have gone through. I was sensitive to that. It's only today that randomly I've found what happened further with his investigation case. I'm glad His story was told and heard. I prayed in 2006 too that May his soul rest in peace and it's May 2020..i still Pray He rests In PEACE.
He who liveth wickedly can hardly die honestly. You don’t become a lieutenant colonel in the most secret department of the most secret agency for nothing.

There's NO WAY I would've felt comfortable enough to drink tea with 2 guys or the Russian government. The police shouldve had a spy cam for the hosp. visits or at least a person who took shorthand/court reporter type. This story is so sad. Prayers to his wife & son!!
Yes I was quite surprised at how trusting they were throughout the Moscow visit? Like they drank the tea, didn't seem to take much in the way of notes in interviews they weren't allowed to record (I wonder why that might be...) and then just flew home without checking the tapes given to them by the Russians? Lol
🤣😂👏👏...such an amazing and well thought out comment! I could be black, yellow, brown, white, mixed....even Russian. You are all class, substance and style my friend 👍
Imagine if the Scotland Yard investigators sent to Moscow ended up dying of poison. What do you think would happen next? The fact that the Russians were bold enough to try it with something less potent and nonlethal just goes to show these guys were scared of what the investigation was going to drum up but they couldn't risk starting some kind of war.
So what happened to the people who sat in that booth, used that hotel room , teapot cup etc... kinda made ,me sick how that brit agent laughed about it still being on the teapot even after multiple washing.
Yes, this bothered me a lot more than his death. He was knowing what he subscribed for and was prepared to fall a victim. Killing spies/traitors is a morally gray area and I actually don't have much problems with it. Putting general public at such a significant risk of getting cancer is the main crime. They did spill radioactive material in places where people eat or brush their teeth. That's worth life in prison
Pretty sure they've sanitized the area and all the teapots after it became known. Your perspective is condensed to the 40m documentary, you don't account for the huge timelapse it took the investigation to finish, every step it went through. So it's really lazy on your side to call them crazy because they laughed about that. 8 years have passed, and joking about quirk moment isn't a sin. Just a natural human reaction. Also, don't forget they are British.
@@p0ma147 So there was a time lapse for the investigation but no time lapse till they found the teapot and hotel rooms and restaurant with radiation? The hotel didn't rent out the room or the restaurants didn't use the booths or teapots. Ok good to know the restaurants and the hotels didn't rent out the hotel room or use the booth or teapot during the huge time lapse that it was found. Sound like they were on it before the Britistans did. Good to now.
They said some people were treated, but no one was seriously affected. Having trace amounts of polonium on the teapot wouldn't have made them that ill and just having it on the sink wouldn't hurt you. Could increase your chances of skin cancer, but so can going to the beach.
Tbh it bothers me that someone at Scotland Yard wouldn't know what Polonium is. We learned that at school, ever heard of Marie Curie? She discovered it. She died from the effects as well.
RIP Alexander.. I pray and hope that you are happy where ever you are now.. God bless your family..His wife is a very strong person. She really misses him.
I don't understand why people say hope where you are now that you're happy the man died he is dead he knows nothing I wish people would read the Bible and get more knowledge about life and death

Russia is under neocommunistic rulers with old time attitudes!.
A truly incredible story, but I’ve got to point out the bravery of those officers who went out together into enemy territory risking everything to get their answers. Ok they didn’t get very far but they did their best to get their men
Its funny because if something happend to them it would be international level catastrophy. No way they would poison or kill them that would start a war that Russian would lose.

Well both his parents are native Russians and probably spoke it at home, making him pick up the accent
Happens. Some people never pick up a non-American accent from me when I speak English. Some people have told me I've always had the mixed accent
How do you think he should speak? With no accent? He waa born in Russia and spent time there until, I guess, he was 10 years old and it would be very hard to fully get rid of his Russian accent, especially considering he is only around 23-26 years old now.

He was determined to get this message out, not just for closure for himself and his family, but to warn others of the danger the FSB representation
He refused to let this be covered up
The scary thing is that possibly thousands of people could have been contaminated based on the traces found in the restaurant, the different hotels, the teapot, cups etc and the fact the poison was poured down the sink and into the water system.

Amazing police work.

What a shame one has to leave their homeland due to the failure to observe basic human rights of living in freedom and exposing the evil of a dead system. Russia is sadly under this same system which is most unfortunate given the resiliency and strength of the Russian people.
@banditchief Yes! I’m glad you’re awake. The First Class Titanic guests. I agree!
I'm watching this again after over a year, and I still feel the same. This guy was very brave to call out the corruption while he lived in his homeland, he was betrayed when he thought he'd finally got his wife and little boy to safety, he was strong through endless agony even when he knew he would die, and finally died a good man from a cold radioactive murder.
Sasha, I hope your wife and son get justice for your murder. And get peace for their pain. Rest in peace fam.
Wow I always thought Scotland Yard were smart. Listening to these two talk is crazy with the little jokes they make but then I found out they drank the tea after knowing the man who they interviewed and seen lose his hair and die in a few hours before had drank tea that was poisoned by these people.

KCJones Lmao I’d estimate it’s a 50/50 chance of the Russians taking the tape and them just forgetting to pack it 😂

Honestly, why drink tea in Russia after already having suspicion that they poisoned the guy with tea?
Though they are cold blooded killers the Russians would not want a diplomatic crisis on there conscience.
tea is to the British what light is to flies. they can't say no.
Do you honestly think the footage was live?
Imagine if the Scotland Yard investigators sent to Moscow ended up dying of poison. What do you think would happen next? The fact that the Russians were bold enough to try it with something less potent and nonlethal just goes to show these guys were scared of what the investigation was going to drum up but they couldn't risk starting some kind of war.
because it is all fake
So what happened to the people who sat in that booth, used that hotel room , teapot cup etc... kinda made ,me sick how that brit agent laughed about it still being on the teapot even after multiple washing.
Yes, this bothered me a lot more than his death. He was knowing what he subscribed for and was prepared to fall a victim. Killing spies/traitors is a morally gray area and I actually don't have much problems with it. Putting general public at such a significant risk of getting cancer is the main crime. They did spill radioactive material in places where people eat or brush their teeth. That's worth life in prison
Pretty sure they've sanitized the area and all the teapots after it became known. Your perspective is condensed to the 40m documentary, you don't account for the huge timelapse it took the investigation to finish, every step it went through. So it's really lazy on your side to call them crazy because they laughed about that. 8 years have passed, and joking about quirk moment isn't a sin. Just a natural human reaction. Also, don't forget they are British.
@@p0ma147 So there was a time lapse for the investigation but no time lapse till they found the teapot and hotel rooms and restaurant with radiation? The hotel didn't rent out the room or the restaurants didn't use the booths or teapots. Ok good to know the restaurants and the hotels didn't rent out the hotel room or use the booth or teapot during the huge time lapse that it was found. Sound like they were on it before the Britistans did. Good to now.
They said some people were treated, but no one was seriously affected. Having trace amounts of polonium on the teapot wouldn't have made them that ill and just having it on the sink wouldn't hurt you. Could increase your chances of skin cancer, but so can going to the beach.
Alfa particles emitted by polonium-210 can't penetrate the skin. It was deadly because he ingested it.

look into all the other people poisoned by putin one guy was given dioxin and survived and his face was scarred for life literally it looks like his face melted he was a political opponent running against putin
SCOTLAND YARD trip to Russia was a total mockery of the investigation.
Nzarama they were laughing at them. The fact they were stupid enough to drink the very thing by they were investigating the poisoning of makes me smh.
They had balls to go there though.
@@staceyvanadder6040 but to also do the same thing you're being investigated for and under such a fine microscope... Would be plain dumb as well.
"He was a real man. He was not a double agent" says wife of former KGB officer who's first direction to British Police is to contact his Mi6 friend to validate who he is.
she meant he wasn't a double agent in his working years at the KGB. after you have been poisoned, would you not try to take revenge on the causers?
if he believed they poisoned him then fk them..what do you wanted him to do?
He was in direct contact with FSB agents from Moscow while being informer and consultant to MI6 and british intelligence? How is that NOT a double agent?
@@YszapHun Both the CIA and their Finders have poisoned me. The FBI attacked my credibility and turned my friends and family against me. The NSA turned my family against me.
Sadly even the FSB and MSS have not done anything like that, and I have been against them my entire life. Who do I blame?
@@YszapHun Exactly. Don't make too much sense otherwise you'll hurt all the other couch expert's brains😂
There really are EVIL people on this earth. :(
yea every goverment.
and thats so sad!
The dead Russian created several orphans during his time. What did he expect?
The heart and courage of his wife and son truly inspires me . My heart goes out to them. Rip Alexander litvinenko
I feel like I’m being hunted by the FSB for watching this lol
Lol it’s only just a conspiracy
@@basskitten7325
How exactly is it a conspiracy if it actually happened? Wtf
@@Avyrr Conspiracy it is. It means to conspire, they, whoever they are conspired to do all this so technically it's a conspiracy, one the the biggest conspiracies at that.
You’ll be fine just avoid tea lmao
No it's only the mi6 that wire taps phone
I luv the strength of himself n his wife n son! We may come from different countries but I feel the luv u have! And I am sorry for ur loss!
How did they actually think that the Russians would be cooperative with their investigation?
I'm sure they knew what was ahead but what else could they do?
@@splint3048 I would have waited, pretending they didn't know anything, until the two guys got either back to the UK or out of Russia to any other country. And smash them there.
@@andreacroci7741 that'll be breaking international law. You can't arrest them like that unless you want to cause a war
Russians are not idiots to cooperate or let alone surrender the suspects for questioning!.They know the killers will blurt out the truth under intense questioning(that Scotland Yard is capable of) or if they undertake polygraph or Truth serum tests!!!.
Russia is under neocommunistic rulers with old time attitudes!.
Diplomacy I suppose
Amazing story ❤
What a horrific way to died. In Slow motion but painful deformation and dissolved
The bald detective sounds like Jason Statham. haha
He could be from Shirebrook. Place where Jason is from. Not sure though.
You're right
My exact observation...that subtle smiley talking
Looks like and sounds like 😂
Spot on!
A truly incredible story, but I’ve got to point out the bravery of those officers who went out together into enemy territory risking everything to get their answers. Ok they didn’t get very far but they did their best to get their men
Its funny because if something happend to them it would be international level catastrophy. No way they would poison or kill them that would start a war that Russian would lose.
People look innocent on the outside, but on the inside you never know what they capable of doing. May this man soul reincarnated to get a second chance of life amen 🙏
