"A message has been communicated to anyone who wants to speak out against the Kremlin: 'If you do, no matter who you are, where you are, we will find you and we will silence you — in the most horrible way possible.'"

HOLY SHIT!  This can't be happening...it's just too bizarre.  Everyone who had something to do with Litvinenko is now dead!   So the drama!  It totally sounds like a mob movie: just replace "the Kremlin" with your favorite-or most feared-gangster.

A revised sentence might look like: "A message has been communicated to anyone who wants to speak out against the Godfather: 'If you do, no matter who you are, where you are, he will find you and he will silence you — in the most horrible way possible."
