THREAD:

Three weeks ago, a Russian intelligence operative flew to Prague. He was driven directly from the Prague airport by a Russia diplomatic car to the Russian Embassy in Prague, carrying a suitcase with „ricin“ poison,according to Czech intelligence sources, @okundra reports
Around that time, two Czech local politicians were put under permanent security protection by Czech security authorities:

1) Mayor of Prague @ZdenekHrib: managed naming a „Boris Nemtsov“ street next to the Russian Embassy
2) Mayor of Prague 6 City District Ondřej Kolář: managed moving of Soviet-era Red Army statue from a city square to a museum.

The Russian government launched aggressive intimidation campaign against the Czech Republic:
- Russian law-enforcement agency started „prosecution“ of Czech local politicians (using an absurd new Russian law against "falsification of history")

- Russian Foreign Ministry publicly supported physical attacks against Czech diplomatic facilities in Russia
