Abstract
When we hear the slogan ‘chemical weapons’, we are usually reminded of a photograph of marching geese, like the blind Ententa soldiers who were darkened after the Ypres chemical attack in Breugel’s painting. After the end of World War I, the unconventional arms race began and it was not certain that it had ended with the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the subsequent signing of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in 1993. Today, we know that Russia’s introduction of the CWC into its legal system has in no way disrupted the development of a new, fourth generation of chemical warfare agents (FGA or NTA - Non-Traditional Agents), culminating in the development of Group A substances, the popular media substances known as Novichok. The range of confirmed and openly available data is not large and the rest of the information is a compilation of various, sometimes contradictory, information. The article is an attempt to organize an open resource of knowledge and bring Novichok closer to a wider audience.
