Seriously though, I don’t understand who in Russia benefits from this attack.
The whole system as it currently stands.
Obviously we can only guess at the exact reasons. But on a very general level, ruthless violence against enemies of the state is a pretty standard method of coercion.
I really don't see what is hard to understand here. Just have a read of accounts, or talk people who've worked out there. It's a bit like Ken's bit on RT from the other page, "Putin isn't sitting in his office plotting who to kill" (paraphrasing). Of course he doesn't literally spend his time in an evil genius cave plotting the downfall of the West. However, NATO and the EU represent a direct challenge to him by existing as powerful blocs and as such they will be undermined where possible. Equally any opposition whether it be Ologarchs, Hermitige Capital, or reporters will ultimately get there comeuppance.

It’s clear it looks like it was made in Moscow (is the public line I believe). The CIA could do that. #tinfoilhat

Perhaps May should have spoken relatively softly, avoided accusation of state involvement without more evidence ..... and kicked all known fsb agents out anyway.
