In a statement released on Tuesday, the Kremlin said that Starovoit, 53, had taken his own life and that Putin was “shocked” by his death.
Starovoit is among a number of state officials and prominent businessmen who have died in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s foes and critics have often met with violent deaths.
Hey US oligarchs, this is your future. You’re not special and you are replaceable in the eyes of the government.
Sadly, they wouldn’t listen. Everyone thinks of themselves being special. Especially sociopathic rich assholes.
Right!? Who looks at this and thinks to themselves that they want to live in this kind of system?
“Mysteriously” is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting in this title.
That’s still less lifting than can be found on Putin’s face.
Waiting for that Russian gold mine guy who was just arrested to accidently fall out of a window
He’ll resist arrest while being in prison and will hang himself with two bullets to the back of the head.
The war in Ukraine has devastated Russia’s economy. The oligarchs don’t think the war will be successful and Putin is aware of that. He’s frightened and removing perceived threats.
