    Guy's if you don't want to watch the ads then trick the video into thinking you watched the whole video by first watching the last 10 or 5 seconds of the video, then simply play the video from the start and like magic no more ads because you tricked the video into thinking you already watched it once so it won't show anymore ads.
    You're welcome.

      @@rosestephanierodriguez9084 im from russia and i can say that this is not correct. in his book he stated that he was working in kgb but then he has realised that his bosses were cooperating with russian mafia to make money. his bosses made a proposal - if he and his team will help them kill people, they will make a lot of money. 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

      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.

    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

      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!.

    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.
