i hate pages like that because at first im like oh cool more soviet agitprop and suddenly theres an article completely describing how a shady airline is being used for fake diplomatic flights to courier weapons to global hotspots and all of a sudden im sucked in for hours.

I am not so sure about the agitprop angle the whole story stinks to high heaven and one of the biggest conundrums in all of this is why did nobody die from "novichok", i mean for all its worth it should be one of the deadliest 4.generation nerve agents but nobody died i find this very odd, is the russian FSB this incompetent while poisoning litvinenko and that dissident in the 60´s in london where a complete success, also to my knowledge normaly those 4.generation nerve agents wreck your body so hard you wish to be dead if you survive it yea sure but not nawalny who allegedly got poisoned then helped made a agitprop movie with the help of a german TV company while he was in germany then gets back to russia and does a stint in a russian prison now.

i dont believe russia in this and i also dont believe the transatlantic/5 eyes crew because the smell it just doesnt want to go away in this one

this is going to be kind of a bad look for me but i generally recognize russian state agitprop by tone over content. its hard to quantify. im sure theres a manual out there somewhere that describes the exact formulae but without learning cyrillic im sure id never recognize it if i was looking at it.

but yeah its that classic 'find a simple truth and weave an elaborate lie on its loom' deal. see: trumpism.

also worth noting that novichok has a half life of about 72 hours (depending on environment of course).
