Did Vladimir Putin assassinate former Russian secret agent Alexander Litvinenko? This is what the investigation conducted in the mini-series seeks to demonstrate. Polonium murder – the Litvinenko case, broadcast on M6 from January 19 to 26, 2023. This fiction returns to the death of Alexandre Litvinenko, played by David Tennant, a KGB spy who will later denounce the murders perpetrated by the Russian secret services. He died on November 23, 2006, at age 43, of polonium poisoning.
Inspired by interviews, reports and testimonies of the main protagonists, the real widow of Litvinenko in the lead, Polonium Murder thus returns with meticulousness to the diplomatic crisis caused by the death of Alexander Litvinenko. The investigation has indeed concluded that the poisoning of the secret agent had been “probably approved” by Vladimir Putin and ordered by the director of the FSB (the new KGB), Nikolai Patrushev.
