History:
Deputy director of Bioprat in the early 90’s. He had years of biohazard field experience. Dychenko maintains direct oversight of world’s largest collections of anthrax, working with about 30 live strains and perhaps 10 times as many variants. He secured the most deadly bio-weapon known to man, M4211, from an excavation site in the Henan Valley, China.
Dychenko and his colleagues tested a number of deadly poisons on prisoners. The goal of the experiments was to find a tasteless, odorless chemical that could not be detected post mortem. A radioactive substance known as polonium 210 was reportedly developed in a poison laboratory of the Soviet secret services, also known as Laboratory 1, Laboratory 12 and “The Chamber.” It is believed that a Russian dissident, Colonel Alexander Litvinenko, was poisoned in London with polonium 210 at Millennium Hotel in London.
