    Remember Navalny? The only Russian who stood a chance against Putin?

    Looks like we now have evidence that the Kremlin was behind Alexander Perepelichnyy’s death.

  3. *From Bloomberg journalist* [*Jason Leopold*](https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AV1xN7SBTpA/jason-leopold) *in* [*his latest FOIA Files newsletter*](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-11-22/putin-s-assassination-targets-revealed-in-declassified-memo?sref=xuVirdpv)*.

    Prominent critics of the Kremlin, and Putin in particular, seem to have a terrible habit of dropping dead under very [suspicious circumstances](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/police-file-exposes-holes-in-the-investigation-into-us). Some [fall out of windows](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-russians-fall-windows-putin-ukraine-war-1781790), [bludgeon themselves to death](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/police-file-exposes-holes-in-the-investigation-into-us), are [poisoned](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-20/murdered-ex-spy-still-toxic-for-putin-as-judge-gives-his-verdict) or are said to have [committed suicide](https://www.buzzfeed.com/janebradley/scientist-who-helped-connect-litvinenkos-murder-to-the?utm_term=.edzr1JGAb#.xbn1nyjoL) in ways that defy logic. Anonymous US intelligence officials have long said they suspected that some of the mysterious deaths over the years were part of a campaign by Putin to assassinate his enemies. But internal US government documents that contained such explicit assertions have never really surfaced. Until now.

    The July 11, 2016 two-page document is titled, “Kremlin-Ordered Assassinations Abroad Will Probably Persist.” A footnote on page one says it only addresses assassinations abroad that have taken place “since Putin took power in 2000.” A letter ODNI sent me that was attached to the two-page memo notes that portions of it were withheld in order to protect classified foreign government information and classified intelligence activities.

    As far as I can tell, nothing like this has ever been publicly released. It was prepared by ODNI’s [National Intelligence Council](https://www.dni.gov/index.php/who-we-are/organizations/mission-integration/nic/nic-who-we-are), whose mission also includes preparing a “Global Trends” [report](https://www.dni.gov/index.php/gt2040-home) for an incoming presidential administration that “assesses the key trends and uncertainties that will shape the strategic environment for the United States during the next two decades.”

    Assassination targets? You mean people who might by complete coincidence find themselves falling through a window off of a high floor of the building they never previously visited?

    People should always remember, Litvinenko was killed for the accusations he made against the Russian government including that Putin is a peado.

    This guy knew how fucking monstrous Putin was he talked, he died.

    What would happen if all or a large majority of the kremlin’s hitmen just refused to carry out these orders? Are there so many below them that the “supply” would ever run out and he could just have any refuser killed as well? Are they all just brainwashed to believe in putin’s authority and intention? Is his inner circle large enough and influence strong enough that everyone in the kremlin is on his side? Admittedly, I’m quite uneducated on this so this may be obvious. It just seems like there are lots of wealthy and powerful (albeit non-politically) people who oppose him that get taken out. It would seem like at some point those close to him would turn against him and the whole thing should crumble. Again, I’m probably more uneducated/ignorant on the details than I’m aware of

  7. For the ones that don’t even bother to read articles, it’s not a Russian memo, it’s a US intelligence memo. I’m not saying they’re right or wrong, but the details are a bit less sensational than the headline.

    I still find it wild that he finally got Nivalny and everyone has just moved on. He was THE opposition leader. Straight up taken out like a common thug. Crazy times.

    My dad escaped the Soviets and has said about Putin, “You can take the man out of the KGB, but you can’t take the KGB out of the man”

  10. US government says Putin “probably” had these people killed. Did anybody actually think otherwise? It doesn’t seem like there is a lot of new info here other than US investigators also think it was highly likely.

  11. The only point of evidence is the legal system. Since there is virtually no chance Putin will be put on trial, this evidence is useless.

    Evidence doesn’t further convince those of us who found it obvious. And (as proven by Trump supporters) it won’t change the minds of those who deny it.

    Rushed to check if I was on the list. Thankfully I can now return to the second floor of my home. Shwoooo . Dodged a nuke (for now).
