		Being rather impressed by the liberal use of references and detailed information, including some formulas, I took it upon myself to edit the review (rephrased some things; basically put it in better English, since it was written by a Russian) and took the time to draw the formulas in MS Paint.
		It serves as a useful introduction to the "Novichok" series of Nerve Agents, and includes useful references (I suspect most are written in Russian..).
		It’s known, that one of the precursors OF Novichok agents is acetonitrile.

		Novichok has a right to participate in judging or training activities as an assistant.
		To gain the next razryad novichok should complete the requirements of the given razryad and to pass the exam.

		Novichok (Russian Ð½Ð¾Ð²Ð¸ÑÐ¾Ðº: "Newcomer") is a series of nerve agents that were developed by the Soviet Union in the 1980s and 1990s and allegedly the most deadly nerve agents ever made.
		As a nerve agent, Novichok belongs to organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
		A Novichok binary nerve agent was used against the capital of Chechnya in the movie The Sum of All Fears.

		US officials say the chemical research institute in western Uzbekistan was a major research site for a new generation of secret, highly lethal chemical weapons, known as Novichok.
		The institute was staffed solely by Russians and it was only when they left in 1993, taking with them much of the equipment and documentation, that what had gone in there slowly began to emerge.
		According to a senior defector from the Soviet chemical weapons programme, the Soviets used the plant to produce small batches of a lethal new generation of nerve agents called Novichok, or New Boy in Russian.

		Novichok 7 estimated to exceed effectiveness of soman by 10 times.
		Finally, unlike VX, which can be defeated quickly with injectable antidotes, Novichok agents are at least as resistant to treatment as soman.Clearly, these agents are much more attractive for military use than traditional agents.
		Still, there is cause for concern because Novichok agents are made of benign industrial and agricultural chemicals and can be made quickly in quantity.

	GWVRP: Document Detail
		Waller believes that NOVICHOK may be what Russian extremist Vladimir Zhirinovsky had in mind when he warned that his country has a "secret weapon" capable of destroying the West.
		Indications that Zhirinovsky's threat was a boast, not a bluff, came when Vil Mirzayanov, a Russian scientist who publicly disclosed the existence of Novichok, was charged with revealing the "state secret." On two occasions, in 1992 and again in 1993, he was arrested by Russian authorities for talking about Novichok.
		There is no hard proof that Novichok was used in the Gulf War, or even that it was supplied by the Soviets to the Iraqis.

		Mirzayanov is personally aware of Russia's development of a class of binary chemical weapons (formed by combining two relatively safe chemicals to produce a toxic agent) nicknamed "Novichok" (Newcomer).
		Novichok is reportedly up to 10 times more toxic to humans than the heretofore deadliest nerve gas, VX.
		The Clinton administration wants desperately to believe that President Yeltsin does not know anything about this activity -- that it is the product of "rogue elements" and bureaucratic inertia, not a breakdown of civilian control or, worse yet, a sign of a dangerous new direction in Russian foreign policy.

		Novichok, which is Russian for newcomer, is considered one of the more lethal and hard-to-monitor agents, according to experts.
		Novichok is comprised of two benign chemicals that become lethal only when mixed together.
		The Russian military, sources said, developed Novichok in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a way to circumvent the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) because the substance is made from chemicals that are not covered by CWC restrictions.

		The second is the possible development of a new class of biological agents known as bioregulators.In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Russia produced several new agents that were made of chemicals not controlled by the Chemical Weapons Convention.
		More remote than Novichok agents, but still worrisome, is the prospect that incapacitants known as bioregulators might be developed in a form that could be weaponized.
		Given their novelty and complexity, use of bioregulators or Novichok agents by terrorists is hardly eminent.

		Existence of the Foliant program and Novichok was revealed in 1992 by chemists Lev Fedorov and Vil Mirzayanov in an article in the newspaper Moscow News (1).
		I spoke with Mirzayanov in early 1996 about Novichok and the possible use of Soviet CW agents during the Persian Gulf War.
		Since he knew that the focus of my inquiry had been Novichok, I started to suspect the interview would be a short one.

		One of those substances is A-232 of the Novichok class of binary weapons, which were designed to circumvent future bans on such agents.
		Therefore, Novichok weapons technically are not banned under the treaty.
		The administration counters that they are banned "in spirit," but as with all its arms control agreements, Moscow has been banking on the technicality and the camouflage.
