On September 13, 2018, I joined my
Bellingcat colleagues on Slack to watch an interview that would kickstart one of our most extraordinary and bizarre investigations. Shortly after being identified as the two key suspects in the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, the two Russians identified by British authorities were now on
RT, speaking to its editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan in a world exclusive interview.
The interview and subsequent investigations would ultimately, two years later, lead to the unravelling of the poisoning of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny by those with links to the Salisbury suspects.

The pair, who had travelled under the names âAlexander Petrovâ and âRuslan Boshirovâ, shared their tale with Simonyan. They were nothing more than innocent sports-nutrition salesmen, who had travelled to Salisbury to visit the cathedral, famous for, as they put it, its 123-metre spire.
