EXILED Russian Nikolai Glushkov has been found dead at his London home, Russian media has reported.

Glushkov, who was a close friend of one-time Putin ally Boris Berezovsky, reportedly died at the age of 68.


It comes after ex Russian spy Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia were poisoned using a nerve agent manufactured in Russia.

Police are investigating how they came to be targeted, with Prime Minister Theresa May giving President Vladimir Putin a deadline to explain Russia’s involvement.

There is no suggestion the Salisbury poisoning was linked to Glushkov’s death.

Media tycoon Demyan Kudryavtysev shared a tribute to Glushkov, the former deputy director of Aeroflo, saying: “We have friends in common.



Looks like Putin’s having a purge of his enemies

It may well just be a coincidence and he may well of died of natural causes. Lets hope so.

Time to stop Russians using the UK as a tax haven, that would potentially hurt many thousands of big companies in Russia and have a real effect on the Russian economy.

Russian spy: State TV anchor warns 'traitors'

For days, Russia's main national TV channels were practically silent on the attempt to kill former spy Sergei Skripal with a nerve agent, but this changed in Wednesday's main evening bulletins.

The comment by Kirill Kleimenov - the presenter on government-controlled Channel One's flagship Vremya news programme - sounded like a veiled, mocking threat to anyone considering becoming a double agent for Britain.

"I don't wish death on anyone, but for purely educational purposes, I have a warning for anyone who dreams of such a career," he said.

"The profession of a traitor is one of the most dangerous in the world," Kleimenov said, adding that few who had chosen it had lived to a ripe old age.

Alcoholism, drug addiction, stress and depression resulting in heart attacks and even suicide were the "professional illnesses of a traitor", according to Kleimenov.

'Maybe it's the climate'

He also had a second piece of advice for such "traitors or those who simply hate their country in their free time": "Don't choose Britain as a place to live."
