Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found dead on Wednesday, according to Russian state media. Tobolsk City Duma deputy Egorov, 46, a member of Putin’s ruling United Russia party, fell from the third floor window of a house on Kedrovaya Street in Tobolsk in the Tyumen Oblast, Russian Telegram channel Baza, which has links to Russian security services, reported. Russian daily newspaper Izvestia also cited a source as saying that Egorov could have fallen out of a third floor window. Newsweek couldn’t immediately verify the cause of Egorov’s death and has contacted Russia’s Foreign Ministry via email for comment. The press service of the Investigative Directorate for the Tyumen region told Russia’s state-run news agency RIA Novosti that investigators are “establishing all the circumstances of the incident.” Last year, Egorov became one of the richest deputies of Tobolsk, with his income amounting to 9.1 million rubles (about $100,500), Russian news outlet RBC reported on Thursday.
The point isn’t to cover it up (well). It’s a warning to others who might question those in power.
What this particular Vlad did to earn a defenestration - I have no idea. But no one else will try it anytime soon if they’re also susceptible to gravity-accelerated blunt force trauma.
It might have simply been a matter of under-performing. It’s been a long three days, and Ukraine still has Nazis, after all.
Not only that, having the MO as an open secret allows any of the few investigations that get past “declared suicide” can be declared a false flag.
“We don’t actually do that. We never have. Our enemies spread these rumors, then attempt to frame us with this preposterous crime.”
The propaganda has redundancy layers.
Maybe he told them to park the warship in the wrong spot…
