War criminal KGB thug Vladimir Putin has murdered a long list of his critics.

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has now joined that list.

Having failed to kill Navalny with the nerve agent Novichok, a KGB favorite, Putin had Navalny sentenced to 19 years in a Siberian prison above the Arctic circle in 2021.

And now he's dead.


German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose country temporarily took in Navalny in 2020 after he was poisoned with a nerve agent, praised the Kremlin critic’s bravery and said his death makes clear “what kind of regime this is.”

Navalny, 47, was serving a 19-year prison sentence on extremism charges in a remote penal colony above the Arctic Circle at the time of his death. He has been behind bars since he returned from Germany in January 2021, serving time on various charges that he rejected as a politically motivated effort to keep him imprisoned for life.

Navalny was “brutally murdered by the Kremlin,” said Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “That’s a fact and that is something one should know about the true nature of Russia’s current regime.”

Yeahbut he got the trains running on time and Moscow is so clean!
 
Wow. That was fast. The trolls are desperately tossing out red herrings! :lol:

To cover up for their war criminal whose troops are raping Ukrainian children en masse.

Wow. Just...wow.
 
Most notable and interesting about this discussion is the confusion on which side of the political divide to choose.

But in any case, quickly turning into off topic spamming anyway.
 

Updated: A list of oligarchs and Putin critics found dead since Ukraine war​

Self-defenestrations the most suspicious​

Maganov's death on Thursday also follows the pattern of prominent Russians falling out of windows to their deaths.

In October 2021, a Russian diplomat was found dead after he fell from a window of the Russian embassy in Berlin, Der Spiegel reported.

The unidentified man was a second secretary at the embassy, but German intelligence sources told the newspaper they suspected he was an undercover officer with Russia's FSB.

Investigative outlet Bellingcat said it used open-source data to identify the man as Kirill Zhalo, the son of General Alexey Zhalo, deputy director of the FSB's Second Service, responsible for dealing with internal political threats for the Kremlin.

In December of the same year, the founder of nationalist blog Sputnik and Pogrom Yegor Prosvirnin died after falling out of a window of a Moscow apartment building.

Prosvirnin's naked body was found next to a knife and a gas canister after shouts and yelling were heard from his apartment, local media reported.

Prosvirnin, a right-wing activist, originally supported Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 but later became a vocal critic of Putin, predicting a civil war in Russia and the collapse of the Russian Federation.

And on 14 August, Dan Rapoport, Latvian-American investment banker and outspoken Putin critic who had just left Ukraine after the Russian invasion, was found dead in front of a luxury apartment building in Washington DC.

Police say they were not treating Rapoport's death as suspicious, the Washington-based Politico reported, but the case remains under investigation.

Rapoport became rich while in Moscow before falling out of favour with the Kremlin, mostly due to his support for the opposition leader Alexei Navalny, according to reports.

In 2017, Rapoport's then-business partner, Sergei Tkachenko, also fell to his death from his Moscow apartment's window.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, at least four health care workers have fallen out of windows in Russia, with only one surviving despite grave injuries.

At least three incidents of doctors self-defenestrating from hospital windows took place over a two-week period between April and May 2020, with media reports claiming they had protested working conditions during the worst wave of infections in the country prior to the incidents.

In December 2020, a top Russian scientist developing a novel COVID-19 vaccine, Alexander Kagansky, was found dead after falling from his high-rise apartment in St Petersburg.

According to Russian outlets, police claimed Kagansky stabbed himself and then jumped to his death.




Pavel Antov

In December 2022, the Russian tycoon [URL='https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-critic-pavel-antov-dies-falling-out-hotel-window-2022-12']reportedly
fell from a hotel window in Rayagada, India, on December 25 days after his 65th birthday.

Ravil Maganov​


Lukoil chairman Ravil Maganov had been openly critical of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, CNBC reported. Shortly after the war began, the oil company called for "the soonest termination of the armed conflict," per the report.

Maganov, similar to Antov, died by falling out the window of a Moscow hospital in September 2022, the outlet reported. However, a now-deleted statement from Lukoil said that the 67-year-old died "following serious illness."

He's a genius!
 
Just out of morbid curiosity, why would Putin need to kill him at this point when he's been imprisoned since 2021?
