Infos

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The two men who got on that flight from Moscow to London were actually spies working for a foreign power. They were career officers with Russian military intelligence. Their real names were Anatoliy Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin. They had come to London to murder someone.#2 The GRU, by contrast, was global. It dealt with external threats. Its mandate was everywhere. The organization s activities ranged from traditional military deployments to coups and invasions. Its officers saw themselves as part of a glorious tradition stretching back to Russia s battles against Napoleon and Crimea.#3 The two GRU agents went to visit the man they were sent to kill, Sergei Skripal, in Salisbury, England. They spent a couple of hours there and went back to the hotel.#4 After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Chekists were out. The elderly KGB plotters who carried out a coup in summer 1991 against Gorbachev found themselves under arrest. Democracy in the shape of Yeltsin seemed ascendant. But Putin had other plans for Russia.
