ríticos de Putin muertos en circunstancias misteriosas
August 24, 2023 - La muerte del jefe del Grupo Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, que sus simpatizantes afirman que fue un asesinato ordenado por el Kremlin, sigue un patrón de muertes misteriosas de críticos de Vladimir Putin.
Prigozhin fell out of favour after vocal criticism of the military leadership
and an attempted coup. Many considered him a dead man walking from that point. Their predictions appear to have come to pass, following the plane crash in which Prigozhin was among 10 passengers and crew to have died.
Previous suspected assassinations include Ravil Maganov, the Lukoil chairman who voiced criticism of the war in Ukraine, Boris Nemtsov, former deputy Prime Minister under Boris Yeltsin and vocal Putin critic, and Boris Berezovsky, the oligarch who fled to the UK and threatened to bring Putin down by force.
Anna Politkovskaya, the journalist who accused Putin of turning Russia into a police state in her book “Putin’s Russia” was murdered in Moscow in 2006, while the former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko who accused Putin of her murder was killed by polonium poisoning in London later that year.
