Russian Assassin Identified

      British authorities put a name and a face on the Russyan who they say was the assassin who poisoned a former Russyan spy and his daughter with a Russyan manufactured chemical called Novochuk.   The news release identified the man as a colonel in the Russyan security apparatus.
His name:   Col. Anatoliy Chepiga of the GRU.   Russyan Foreign Ministry Official Liar Maria Zakharova on Thursday dismissed the report in a  Facebook post, saying there is no proof and that the report was timed to coincide with Theresa May's speech at the UN in New York City.
      Mr. Colonel Chepiga went on state television saying that he was only a tourist interested in seeing the countryside.   Reports also say Mr. Chepiga served in Chechnya and Ukraine and was 'honored' as as a "Hero of the Russyan Federation", shades of the old days of the Soviet era when an individual was accorded the title "Hero of the Soviet Union".
       Perhaps he can parley his new found fame into another career.  Perhaps a spokesman for Nike shoes; or perhaps a pitchman for Russyan airline Aeroflot.  Or maybe even an acting career, given his past performance in the UK where he posed as a "tourist".
    Good luck, Anatoliy, wherever you end up(Gulag?)
