Litvinenko’s Last Words: “The Bastards Got Me” – Novinite.com – Sofia News Agency

Andrei Nekrasov, who had visited Litvinenko in the University College Hospital in London every day this week, shared his impressions of what he called “the most horrible crime” in an interview with the Times.

“Sasha was a good-looking, physically strong and courageous man,” Nekrasov said “But the figure who greeted me looked like a survivor from the Nazi concentration camps.”

“I have been through a few things in Russia and Chechnya, but this is one of the most horrible crimes I have witnessed in my life. It was a sadistic, slow murder. It was perpetrated by somebody incredibly cruel, incredibly heartless. It had no meaning whatsover.”

“This is what it takes to prove one has been telling the truth,” the Russian intelligence officer reportedly joked, referring to his book, “The FSB Blows up Russia”. In it he accused the Russian security services of causing a series of apartment block explosions in Moscow in 1999 that helped seat Vladimir Putin in the presidency.
