Litvinenko murder suspects to speak to British journalists

Posted in Ekho Moskvy, Kovtun, Litvenenko, Lugovoi, interview, radio on August 28, 2007 by accidentalrussophile

Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, Scotland Yard’s key suspects in the murder of Alexander Litvinenko will speak to British journalists through a radio program to be aired live Wednesday, August 29, 2007.

The radio news conference is jointly organized by Moscow Radio and RIA Novosti and will be broadcast live on Ekho Moskvy Radio at 3 p.m. Moscow time (11 a.m. GMT, 7 a.m. EDT) according to RIA Novosti. Live streaming for Ekho Moskvy can be found here. The interview will also be played via live streaming from the RIA Novosti website.

Moscow refused in early July to extradite Kremlin bodyguard-turned-businessman Lugovoi, which sparked a diplomatic dispute with London, involving tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats and visa restrictions.

Questions for the interview can be submitted here.

Should We Be Afraid of Russia – Have Your Say on BBC World Service

Posted in BBC, Russia, discussion, radio on August 9, 2007 by accidentalrussophile

BBC Radio World Service is having a program on Have Your Say later today. Broadcast is scheduled for 13:00 EDT. The topic is “Should We Be Afraid of Russia” and among the guests will be Michael Averko and Andrei Zagorski.

The BBC forum for commentary is located here and the link to listen to the radio program should be here. Select the World Service Radio link.

The rumor is that LR (I’m not about to link to that bigot) was also invited, but refused due to Mike Averko among the guests. I suppose that might have possibly meant they would have to be in the same room together.

Update: The program went well and was worth the time to listen. I’ll post some excerpts after the BBC posts a sound file of the program. People can read or listen to the program here.
