Yes, he all of a sudden just….died.

RIP.

And their efforts to revive him by beating the shit out of him and stomping his skull didn’t work for some crazy reason!!!!!

[bitchbot]

is that what happened?

[maskofsmiles]

At least he managed to avoid those windows in Russia that people just randomly fall out of?

I'm not exactly sad, he was a white nationalist just like Putin, called Georgians roaches, also thought that Ukrainian and other countries' territories belong to Russia, etc. He was just uncharacteristically anti-corruption for some reason and he seemed smart enough to not start a war.

The documentary on youtube about Putin's castle his team made was pretty good and his resistance did some good.

So, my thoughts are 'He served some purpose'.

Thanks for this comment, I'm going to google him more.

I read that these ideas and others were part of the reasons Putin allowed him to live so long despite being an opposition leader. Guess he served his purpose there too.

I didn't know this part and I feel like an idiot now, thank you for enlightening me. I'll do more research

Will they let his family leave Russia if they want to? They’ve suffered so much

RIP

[rabbitofalice]

they're not in Russia

Has the family confirmed? As of like an hour ago, Yulia was still saying she didn't know for sure. And these folks, you know, lie a lot. If true, it was murder. No question.

Rip.

Sad to say I am surprised the Russian government allowed him to live for so long tbh :// They definitely put him through the ringer before falling ‘ill’. I can just imagine what they did to him when he “went missing”
