Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Vil Mirzayanov

Former Soviet chemical weapons specialist. He believes the gas is a modification of BZ gas, a toxic chemical agent that he worked on. In September 1992, he revealed that the Soviet Union had produced the most lethal binary nerve agent known to mankind. Known as Novichok (the newcomer), it was up to 10 times more powerful than its nearest U.S. equivalent, known as VX. He was jailed twice for whistleblowing.
