State Secrets: An Insider's Chronicle of the Russian Chemical
Weapons Program An unparalleled deception took place in the 1980s,
while U.S.S.R. President Mikhail Gorbachev was negotiating for the
Chemical Weapons Convention. This treaty was supposed to destroy
chemical weapons of the world and ban new ones. The Moscow
institute that developed chemical weapons at that same time was
secretly developing newer and greatly more toxic ones known
anecdotally as Novichok and new binaries. Dr. Vil Mirzayanov, a
scientist there, was responsible for developing methods of
detecting extremely minute traces in the environment surrounding
the institute. He decided this dangerous hypocrisy was not
tolerable, and he became the first whistleblower to reveal the
Russian chemical weapons program to the world. His book, State
Secrets, takes a startling detailed look at the inside workings of
the Russian chemical weapons program, and it tells how the Russians
set up a new program in Syria. Mirzayanov's book provides a
shocking, up-close examination of Russia's military and political
complex and its extraordinary efforts to hide dangerous weapons
from the world. State Secrets should serve as a chilling cautionary
tale for the world over.
