Mikhail Zygar's foundation was classified as an “undesirable organization” in Russia. The man who is said to be behind the murder of Alexander Litvinenko is responsible.
Andrei Lugovoi became famous in 2006 when the British authorities accused him of murdering the former FSB officer. In January this year he proposed passing a law depriving all "traitors" of their property, says Zygar.. The ice pick is a symbol of political assassination, and Russian authorities and propaganda are proud to use it, he says.
