I find it more plausible that the litvinenko hit was ordered by Putin than Navalny or skripal. Nonetheless it was LDPR not United Russia that gave him immunity. I wouldn't rule it out.

>And if he blew the covers of 100 officers, they would've been under deep cover

I hope it's not too controversial to say that they clearly weren't very competent and probably thought they were doing things properly.

>In the case of Navalny, Putin's main opponent gets hit - if Putin didn't order it, it damages his credibility, I repeat: Whose head is rolling?

Assuming Putin doesn't know, If I were him I would be furiously investigating but in wouldn't be keen to share with the world whose head rolled. Especially if it's FSB. If a US CIA agent went rogue do you think they'd tell us all about it? C'mon.

With skripal using him as part of a spy swap and then killing him ruins Putin's to negotiate. I don't think FSB agents who got their covers blown will give a fuck about that because they will desperately want revenge but Putin will.
