Bloody Purge in the Kremlin or Just a Suicide?
Roman Starovoit, a Russian traffic investigator, was found dead on Monday, the very same day Vladimir Putin dismissed him from his position. His body, with a gunshot wound, was discovered near a parking lot outside Moscow, immediately sparking a wave of speculation. Officially, the case is treated as a suicide, but Russian media and the public can’t shake the feeling that something much darker is at play.
Putin Sent a Wreath but Didn’t Show Up Personally
Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend the commemoration in person but sent a wreath. High-ranking Kremlin officials were present at the ceremony in Moscow, which only fuels suspicions about the importance and sensitivity of the case. The funeral is set to take place in Saint Petersburg, where Starovoit was governor of the Kursk region before becoming an investigator.
Corruption, Investigations, and War Borders
Starovoit was dismissed after an investigation into corruption related to the construction of border defenses in the Kursk region, which was the site of a Ukrainian incursion last August. Although he was not formally involved, unnamed sources claim suspects in the case recently testified against him. Whether his death is connected to his work on this case or something else remains a mystery.
Another Death, Another Mystery?
Shortly after Starovoit’s death, reports emerged of another body found in Moscow, further fueling theories of a “bloody purge” at the Kremlin’s top ranks. Has someone decided to deal with those who knew too much or dared to investigate?
The Kremlin is Silent, the Public is Buzzing
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to disclose who represented Putin at the commemoration, stating it was the president’s personal decision. Putin was reportedly prevented by his schedule from attending the funeral. Russian media released videos showing crowds gathered outside the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow, known for treating the political elite, where the ceremony was held.
What Lies Behind the Curtain?
Starovoit held the traffic investigator position for only a year and was previously governor of the Kursk region. His dismissal and death on the same day have sparked numerous speculations about links to corruption investigations and war events on the Ukrainian border. Is this just a suicide case, or is it something much darker?
Conclusion
While the Kremlin remains silent and refuses to provide clear answers, the public and media speculate about a possible “bloody purge” at the top of power. Roman Starovoit’s death remains shrouded in mystery, and the truth may be far from the official narrative.
