Novichok agent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novichok_agent
Novichok (Russian: Новичо́к, "newcomer"/ "newbie")[1] is a series of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union and Russia between 1971 and 1993.[a][3][4] Russian scientists who developed the agents claim they are the deadliest nerve agents ever made, with some variants possibly five to eight times more potent than VX,[5][6] and others up to ten times more potent than soman.[7]

They were designed as part of a Soviet programme codenamed "FOLIANT".[2][8] Five Novichok variants are believed to have been adapted for military use.[9] The most versatile is A-232 (Novichok-5).[10] Novichok agents have never been used on the battlefield. The UK government determined that a novichok agent was used in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England in March 2018; this was confirmed unanimously by four laboratories around the world, according to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.[11]

According to Vladimir Uglyov, who worked on the development of Novichok, it is very stable with a slow evaporation rate and can remain dangerous for years once deployed.[67] Insufficient research has been done to fully understand its persistence in various situations in the environment.[68]

Russia's Lab X: poison factory that helped silence Soviets' critics
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...n-factory-that-helped-silence-soviets-critics
The laboratory, in a squat, beige building on the outskirts of Moscow, has an unremarkable name: Scientific Research Institute No 2, or NII-2 for short. Most evenings, a few lights are visible through the windows, framed by a couple of scrawny trees.
According to Sudaplatov, Maironovsky would inject people with poison under the guise of a routine medical checkup. The victims included Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who died mysteriously in Soviet custody, as well as Ukrainian nationalists and potential defectors. Soviet leaders gave the orders for execution. Sudaplatov covered up the operation afterwards.
