Just when you think you’ve seen it all in Russian politics, two high-ranking Putin associates are found dead on the same day under suspicious circumstances that sound straight out of a spy thriller! Roman Starovoit, the 53-year-old deputy head of traffic investigation, was abruptly dismissed without explanation and found dead hours later with gunshot wounds in a wealthy Moscow suburb. On the very same day, Andrey Korneichuk, his colleague and deputy head of the property management department at the Federal Road Agency, collapsed and died in his office. Early reports say his heart just stopped, but who buys coincidences in Russia?
Sergey Markov, director of the Russian Institute of Political Studies, openly claims Starovoit was murdered because he could testify against powerful figures. The Russian elite is shocked, and the public wonders how many more of these so-called “suicides” must happen before the truth comes out. And it doesn’t stop there — just days earlier, Andrey Badalov, vice president of Transneft, fell from his penthouse in Moscow, another mysterious death. Transneft is a state company run by a former KGB agent, adding fuel to conspiracy theories.
These deaths come amid numerous scandals and dismissals in Russia, where many high officials who are removed or speak out against Putin end up dead. Is this just coincidence or a systematic purge of enemies? Russia looks like a spy movie set, but with far darker consequences. If you think politics is boring, think again — in Russia, it’s a deadly game.
So, what do you think? Are these really suicides or cold-blooded murders? Drop a comment, share your conspiracy theory, or just have a laugh — because in Russia, truth is often stranger than fiction!
