in november 2006, alexander litvinenko was poisoned at a sushi lounge frequented by our very own family. he took ill, and in a famous and well circulated photograph, he is pictured at his hospital bed, a shadow of his former healthy and vigorous image.
it is believed that mr. litvinenko, a former russian kgb agent, fell victim to the very agency to which he once pledged allegiance. after implicating his own superiors in the planned murder of a prominent russian citizen, he was confined, later fleeing to britain (where he was granted political asylum). his public attack on the motherland surely prompted the vengeful retribution that lead to a dose of polonium 210. not to mention the creation of huge nervous tension culminating in the closure of said sushi lounge, and the discovery of the ominous material on aircraft flying between london and moscow.
mr. litvinenko was a staunch opponent of the ongoing war in chechnya.
in addition to a shared hairline resulting from an unwanted dose, jane is also in the throws of a different sort of poisoning, which will ultimately have quite a diametrically opposed effect than that received by the aforementioned spy-turned-activist. and similar to alexander, jane too fled her homeland, albeit without the espionage credentials, to find safe haven in far off lands (hence the numerous passports!).
incidentally, and most probably quite obviously, she too is a staunch opponent of an ongoing war.
need i say more?
