text: MOSCOW (Reuters) - Prominent Russian political commentator and writer Yulia Latynina has left Russia fearing for her life, she told a Moscow radio station.  Latynina s car was set on fire at the beginning of September, weeks after unidentified assailants sprayed a poisonous substance on her house outside Moscow and the car.  I m quite scared ... I m terrified that the people who did it were prepared for fatalities,  Latynina said of the arson.  I m abroad, my parents are also abroad. It s unlikely I ll be going to Russia soon,  she told the Echo of Moscow radio station late Saturday.
