Kolokol-1
Kolokol-1 ((ロシア語:Колокол) meaning "bell") is a synthetic opioid developed for use as an aerosolizable incapacitating agent. The exact chemical structure has not yet been revealed by the Russian government. It was originally thought by some sources to be a derivative of the potent opioid fentanyl, most probably 3-methylfentanyl dissolved in halothane as an organic solvent.〔(Russia Confirms Suspicions About Gas Used in Raid ), Washington Post, 31 October 2002.〕 However, the only independent analysis of residues on the Barricade Theater hostage crisis hostages' clothing or in one hostage's urine performed by a team of toxicologists at the United Kingdom's center for research on chemical and biological warfare in Porton Down, Wiltshire, England found no indication that fentanyl or 3-methyl fentanyl were used. Instead, two much more potent and shorter-acting agents, carfentanil and remifentanil, were found in the samples taken from hostages' clothing and urine. They concluded the agent used in the Barricade Theater hostage rescue consisted of highly potent, very short-acting carfentanil and longer-acting but less-potent remifentanil, both fentanyl derivatives which are much stronger than fentanyl itself, in an aerosol suspension. == Development and early use ==
According to Lev Fyodorov, a former Soviet chemical weapons scientist who now heads the independent Council for Chemical Security in Moscow, the agent was originally developed around a secret military research facility in Leningrad (now restored to its historic name of Saint Petersburg), during the 1970s. Methods of dispersing the compound were reportedly developed and tested by releasing harmless bacteria through subway system ventilation shafts, first in Moscow and then in Novosibirsk. Fyodorov also claimed that leaders of the failed August 20, 1991 Communist coup considered using the agent in the Russian parliament building.〔(Gas looks like secret KGB tool ), New York Daily News, 29 October 2002〕
