This is a fairly detailed account of things
I'm particularly interested in this bit:
Quote:
“Everything that is happening is fitting very neatly a particular logical chain. First, the Russian parliament passes a law in the middle of this year which allows the government, allows the president, to pursue and attack ‘extremists’ all over the world. So now it’s legal.
“Then a few days later they enacted another [law] which defines ‘extremist’. Anybody who is critical of the government falls under these broad definitions.”
Few had been more vitriolic and outrageous in their criticism of Putin and the Kremlin than Litvinenko.
“This unties the hands of the secret service because nobody can now say it’s illegal under Russian law.”

Can anyone find more information about this?
