Chapter 3: Continued opposition to President
Putin
5.26 The evidence shows that Mr Litvinenko’s political campaigning work, and in particular
his vocal criticism of President Putin, continued until his final illness. There does not
appear to have been any let up – either through concern at what the new Russian laws
might herald, or because of his increasing security work. Mr Goldfarb did observe,
however, that the balance of Mr Litvinenko’s campaigning work in the later years was
more towards writing, for example on the Chechenpress website, than on the public
appearances that had been a feature of his first few years in the UK.16
5.27 It was, in fact, in July 2006 that Mr Litvinenko published an article on the Chechenpress
website that Professor Service referred to as the “climax” of Mr Litvinenko’s attacks
on President Putin.17 The article, which is in evidence before me, accused President
Putin of paedophilia.18 It read as follows:
“A few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin walked from the Big Kremlin
Palace to his Residence. At one of the Kremlin squares, the president stopped to
chat with the tourists. Among them was a boy aged 4 or 5.
’What is your name?’ Putin asked.
’Nikita,’ the boy replied.
Putin knee[le]d, lifted the boy’s T-shirt and kissed his stomach.
The world public is shocked. Nobody can understand why the Russian president
did such a strange thing as kissing the stomach of an unfamiliar small boy.
The explanation may be found if we look carefully at the so-called ‘blank spots’ in
Putin’s biography.
After graduating from the Andropov Institute, which prepares officers for the KGB
intelligence service, Putin was not accepted into the foreign intelligence. Instead,
he was sent to a junior position in KGB Leningrad Directorate. This was a very
unusual twist for a career of an Andropov Institute’s graduate with fluent German.
Why did that happen with Putin?
Because, shortly before his graduation, his bosses learned that Putin was a
pedophile [sic]. So say some people who knew Putin as a student at the Institute.
The Institute officials feared to report this to their own superiors, which would cause
an unpleasant investigation. They decided it was easier just to avoid sending Putin
abroad under some pretext. Such a solution is not unusual for the secret services.
Many years later, when Putin became the FSB director and was preparing for the
presidency, he began to seek and destroy any compromising materials collected
against him by the secret services over earlier years. It was not difficult, provided
he himself was the FSB director. Among other things, Putin found videotapes in

the FSB Internal Security directorate, which showed him making sex with some
underage boys.
Interestingly, the video was recorded in the same conspiratorial flat in Polyanka
Street in Moscow where Russian Prosecutor-General Yuri Skuratov was secretly
video-taped with two prostitutes. Later, in the famous scandal, Putin (on Roman
Abramovich’s instructions) blackmailed Skuratov with these tapes and tried to
persuade the Prosecutor-General to resign. In that conversation, Putin mentioned
to Skuratov that he himself was also secretly video-taped making sex at the same
bed. (But of course, he did not tell it was pedophilia [sic] rather than normal sex.)
Later, Skuratov wrote about this in his book Variant Drakona (pp.153-154).”
5.28 It hardly needs saying that the allegations made by Mr Litvinenko against President
Putin in this article were of the most serious nature. Could they have had any
connection with his death?
5.29 Nor were these the last public allegations that Mr Litvinenko made against President
Putin. Only a matter of days before he fell ill, Mr Litvinenko publicly accused President
Putin of responsibility for the murder of Anna Politkovskaya (see paragraphs 5.67 –
5.77 below). And, as I have already described, in the statement that he signed on his
deathbed, he accused the Russian President of responsibility for another murder –
his own.
