There is a great book about Russian assassinations of dissidents, and particularly that of Alexander Litvinenko. It's called A Very Expensive Poison. Listened to the audiobook. It was great. Terrifying, but great.
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more of the recent history of Russian relations with the West.
Is it Terminal Spy by Alan Cowell who was a NYT reporter, or is it A Very Expensive Poison by Luke Harding a reporter for The Guardian.
There's a difference in the capability of the old KGB operations in the Soviet era and the FSB (KGB) operations that Russia does today. They have similar level of ambition on what they do, but are much less 'clean' in their operations. In other words, they get caught where they don't mean to and make mistakes that Soviet KGB wouldn't make.
