Litvinenko\u2019s wife Marina, played by Margarita Levieva in the drama, has given her support to the series and spoke about why it is so important at a screening attended by RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so important to keep his voice alive, whether it\u2019s [through a] documentary, or whether it\u2019s [through a] drama, but he will be alive, with us, and his message, finally, will be heard. Anything that I could use, I tried to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Litvinkeno, who described Tennant and Levieva\u2019s performances as \u201cabsolutely amazing\u201d, added:\u00a0\u201cWatching his episode, it wasn\u2019t easy. But I realise with this drama, [there] will be more understanding for what happened.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s still some questions [from people]. \u2018Are you sure it\u2019s happened like this? Are you sure he was poisoned?\u2019 \u2013 when they watch this episode, I think more and more people will realise what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Ever since her husband\u2019s death from polonium poisoning in November 2006, Litvinenko has met with several politicians in her search for justice.<\/p>\n \u201cI talked to many [politicians],\u201d she explained. \u201cI have respect for some, I have a lot of critical opinion to others. But I believe they must watch this.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not only political story, it\u2019s not only crime, it is absolutely [a] human story. It\u2019s a story of love. It\u2019s [a story] of hope.\u201d<\/p> \u200cAdditional reporting by Morgan Jeffery.<\/em><\/p>\n Litvinenko arrives on ITVX as a full boxset on Thursday 15th December.
