Dozens of Russian deaths cast suspicion on Vladimir Putin

Dozens of Russian deaths cast suspicion on Vladimir Putin
Oren Dorell , USA TODAYPublished 5:04 a.m. ET May 2, 2017

A former member of the Russian parliament is gunned down in broad daylight in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. A longtime Russian ambassador to the United Nations drops dead at work. A Russian-backed commander in the breakaway Ukrainian province of Donetsk is blown up in an elevator. A Russian media executive is found dead in his Washington, D.C., hotel room.

What do they have in common? They are among 38 prominent Russians who are victims of unsolved murders or suspicious deaths since the beginning of 2014, according to a list compiled by USA TODAY and British journalist Sarah Hurst, who has done research in Russia.

The list contains 10 high-profile critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, seven diplomats, six associates of Kremlin power brokers who had a falling out — often over corruption — and 13 military or political leaders involved in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, including commanders of Russian-backed separatist forces. Two are possibly connected to a dossier alleging connections between President Trump's campaign staff and Kremlin officials that was produced by a former British spy and shared with the FBI.

Twelve were shot, stabbed or beaten to death. Six were blown up. Ten died allegedly of natural causes. One died of mysterious head injuries, one reportedly slipped and hit his head in a public bath, one was hanged in his jail cell, and one died after drinking coffee. The cause of six deaths was reported as unknown.

Putin has long dealt with opponents harshly. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in March that Putin “has murdered his political opponents and rules like an authoritarian dictator.”

Yet the list of fatalities — 37 men and one woman — suggests that Putin’s alleged attacks on his critics and whistle-blowers are more extensive and lethal than previously known. It also raises new concerns about contacts Putin and his lieutenants had with Trump’s campaign staff.

Trump praised Putin in March 2016 as a "strong leader," and in 2015 said “I’d get along great with” the Russian leader. On Feb 6, Trump defended Putin when Bill O’Reilly, then of Fox News, called Putin a killer. "There are a lot of killers," Trump replied. "Do you think our country is so innocent?"

The FBI and Congress are currently investigating contacts between Kremlin officials and Trump's campaign advisers, as part of its investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Leahy made his comment about Putin at a congressional hearing that featured Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian political activist with personal experience of his government's efforts to silence outspoken critics.

"We’ve seen political opposition leaders and activists, whistle-blowers, anti-corruption campaigners and independent journalists lose their lives in one way or another," Kara-Murza told USA TODAY. "Sometimes these are suspicious suicides and plane crashes, really rare and horrible diseases. In many others they are straight murders."

Kara-Murza worked with former deputy prime minister and Putin opponent Boris Nemtsov before Nemtsov was gunned down in Moscow in 2015. Kara-Murza worked until recently with Russian anti-corruption lawyer and political candidate Alexei Navalny, who suffered eye injury Thursday after being attacked with a chemical following his release from jail for leading unsanctioned protests against the Putin government across Russia this spring.

Margot did you read this book? Putler´s crimes started in early 90th ....
"The Less You Know, the Better You Sleep"

 

Hadn't even heard of that book, but I watched Putin's Way on PBS.. about his early charm offensive and how he showed his true colors. I have a feeling that Putin and Assad share a lot of traits.

 

i ´d recommend you to read this book, its like crime fiction , but its all true

 

RT do war- crimes everyday, there are real fist - fighting and hate everyday . i dont need to read the books i know it from the direct contact . we are not like Muscovite slaves , who "forget " everything, we tell openly even in sovok times . meanwhile your Tombov (uprising ) " forgot " all have happened to them , they are even in love with the butcher of their families - Zhukov , such slaves - vatniks ...

 

Ye ye, RT uses heavy artillery to destroy Donetsk region. Most of the people appreciate the contribution of Zhukov in the victory over German army in WW2. By the way, David Eisenhower and Bernard Montgomery evaluated Zhukov very high. If not Soviet Soldiers and their Marshals, you would clean now the toilets for pure Aryans as a third quality person.

 

Did you relax by reading Pravda when you were younger, vis?

 

Of course, I did! Do you know where did I read it?

 

man, did i asked you about Montgomery ? now many Montgomery family members were killed by Zhukov´s hordes ? i asked about Tombov´s slaves - vatniks , i am sure you dont even know what i am talking about, right? in your sovok´s history book 0 words about this genocide ...

so my question, do you know that zhukov is as much popular in Tombov as in lets say in Moscow? and dont you think that its VERY , VERY WEIRD ?

 

I 100% sure that vis thinks that Pravda and the N. Yorker are alike ...

 

Back in the USSR?

 

Well, The New Yorker and the Soviet Pravda are alike in that they're both Left-wing rags. The New York Times is near indistinguishable from Pravda - ever heard of Walter Duranty?

Stalin's Apologist: Walter Duranty: The New York Times's Man in Moscow
https://www.amazon.com/Stalins-Apologist-Walter-Duranty-Timess/dp/0195057007

If you ever see me or some of my compatriots talking about The New Duranty Times now you know who/what we're talking about - it's all the Leftist propaganda fit to print...

 

oh man NO, believe me its just massive BS , they dont want to eat this every day


and work as the slaves for 35$ usa,

 

man, come on , stop those jokes its nor funny ... if i´d forced you to read Pravda 1 day, you´d die for sure

 

Of course, Talon

 

Yet another thread about Putin. Wow. So original. So new.

"You know nothing of Putin."
"There are other people but Putin."
"RF =/= Putin."
"No flamebait."
"Not that any of you care."

I believe, I just said everything I can say in this thread, continue indulging in exchange of insults and accusations towards my country. Have a bad day.

 

It is new.. Day May 2.. and its important.

 

I do not know what is Tombov. Maybe you mean Tambov? And I do not know what do you mean. Zhukov is popular on average evrywhere. I do not think it is weird.

 

Ar these kinds of deaths investigated in Russia?

 

This must be the dumbest thread on the forum. It's the typical criminal ploy of accusing others of crimes that they themselves commit which has now entered our political arena... compliments of course of Saul Alinsky the renowned satanist.

One need not go any further than the mention of a Russian leaning representative in the Ukrainian government being killed by Putin, when they were all killed by the Nazis and criminals in Kiev within three months. I guess it's another Ukrainian example of the Russians killing their own people.

But what's to be expected when a society is under the authority of the Father of All Lies. It's merely another example ... but it won't last his time is short. Pity his adherents.
...

 

Why is that important?

 

by who? you must be joking ? by me or CIA?

 

The police??????????

 

why you don't read the books, don't you see that you missed in your sovok´s school a lot?
