Suicide[edit]

I think it would be fair to include more information about Krivitsky's alleged suicide than exists here. Kern may conclude that Krivitsky "certainly" committed suicide, but the evidence for a possible assassination is worth mentioning here. Thoughts? Evixir (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a way to arrange suicide and the KGB apparently used it for Munich's Radio Free Europe staff. Dioxins, also known as Agent Orange or Seveso Poison and which also occur in diesel smoke, were put in people's drawers there and in some so far unexplained way they will eventually cause the person to suicide. That could have been done with Krivitsky and either side had reasons for that. We had a friend at Radio Free Europe who suicided completely unexpected and without apparent reason. When the Ukrainian politician Yushenko or what his name is, was diagnosed with dioxin poison, this dioxin-suicide connection was explained. What happened to Krivitsky's child, I wonder, or is this inappropriate curiosity? 121.209.50.82 (talk) 05:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lol! Yushenko is a far-right bandera-loving (spreading Slava Ukrainii banderite slogan in 2004 was his idea) western puppet injected through a west-paid orange maidan, who underwent plastic surgery and caught skin infection - which he later attributed for poisoning attempt. Its not all-mightly KGB, its God striking you, treacherous penny-loving snakes. Plus Galicians are known to possess a mentality which justifies selling of own mother into slavery if that makes them a penny (thats why it was easy to bribe them into two maidans and fck the Ukraine up). Krivitsky was no exception: having burned through money he made through betrayal and when the hype train of him working for Stalin (great georgian man, you snakes) slowed down, being unable to sell his fantasy books - he understood just too late into what kind of pool of sharks he jumped into, haha. Pool of amoral primitive people, which only give a damn about someone with money - and get conciously exploited by the money owner. Thats some great contrast to the educated soviet people with great deep soul capacity, whom you can rely on in any situation. Its God sending you to hell, look up what place lying and greed occupy in the Decalogue (and slap sodomy on top of it!). 81.173.170.71 (talk) 04:58, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"suicide" of Krivitsy[edit]

The gun was NOT found in his right hand .It was found at the left side of his body. While initials reports claimed he had been dead 6 hours, if you read his FBI report, he was alive when found but unconscious and died appx. 2 hours later in hospital.
