Can't connect to Prevendra now. Anyway, the news sounds close to the recent couple days events in Russian news - high level arrests in FSB cyber and connected Kasperky's employee(s).
I've seen this in a few places, and my suspicion is that someone on the trump team that got access to classified briefings on the election hacking leaked info back to their Russian handlers, which is probably going to cause these people to die.
If that's true, we're well past impeachment and in to treason territory.
>which is probably going to cause these people to die.
source? My understanding is that spy stuff is a giant circle jerk where high-IQ bored people sit around taking tax-payer dollars.[1] Why would they kill each other? That just ends the game.
what makes you think anyone kills spies anymore?
[1] you'll literally hear them make statements like "Hey, I thought this was going to be interesting! I'm just sitting around listening to other people's boring conversations all day." Well yeah that's what you signed up for.
Radiation poisoning? Seems to be a Russian favorite means of asssassination in the last decade or so, in fact Edit actually I didn’t realize Litvinenko was the same famous case I considered part of a bigger trend and I don’t see other cases after a quick Google. Disregard my comment, with my apologies. I thought I remembered a larger pattern. That said, more generic poisoning does seem to be a pattern: https://www.google.com/amp/s/timeline.com/amp/p/4256eafcd76c
You made a much stronger statement than that one very prominent case worker was killed (who published two books.) You said "these people will probably die". Your reference about it is interesting.
The Wikipedia page says Litvinenko published two books on the inner workings of the KGB. (And he would be in a position to know about them.) So, in those books, which I haven't read, does he claim that the KGB goes around killing its agents these days? Does anyone else claim that?
Does the CIA go around killing KGB agents and vice versa?
By the way a some time ago someone claiming to be from the CIA[1] said to me that the CIA thought I was a Russian spy and to cut it out - I'm visiting Georgia with a friend and I'm really concerned if spies are killing each other. I don't want anyone anywhere killing me etc for any reason.
So, I would like to know this information. you know, so I don't end up dead. I actually have zero reason to visit Georgia other than one of my friends going (who I've known for years and I would be incredibly surprised if I learned they're a spy - that's not my impression at all). But I'm curious about like, "what's the worst that could happen".
Georgia had some Russian political issues and tourist advice for some parts of it says, "hey don't go there"[2]
[1] I have zero evidence to back this up and am not inclined to believe him.
but the URL refers to "south essetia" which is in Red in the first link, and says "advise against all travel". So I am concerned about political stability, etc.

In your opinion, what do you think his profession was?

This seems to be more like Intra-Russia thing to me, FSB - Kremlin dynamics playing out.
