Mysterious Deaths in Russia:
Within the last year, more than 10 nobles of Russia have died. Most of them have some connection to Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia. A large portion of them worked in the oil and gas industry. We’ll tell you about a few of these enigmatic deaths today.
In the past, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia’s private army, was in the discussion around the world by opposing the powerful President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
Prigozhin is now believed to have died in a jet accident to the north of Moscow, the capital of Russia. The Russian government, however, has not yet provided an official answer on this issue.
Alexander Navalny was being poisoned:
In August 2020, Alexei Navalny, the leader of Russia’s most well-known opposition, traveled to Germany for medical care after being poisoned in Siberia with what Western specialists determined to be the military nerve weapon Novichok. The role of Russia has been refuted.
Due to his voluntary return to Russia in 2021, Navalny won praise from people all over the world. Once there, he was detained without delay. The terms he is currently serving for fraud and other crimes, which he claims are false, total 11-and-a-half years. It has been deemed “extremist” and his political movement is now illegal. Recently, the sentence for Navalny was extended by an additional 19 years in a maximum-security prison colony.
An Embraer business jet crashed in the Tver
On Wednesday night, an Embraer business aircraft that was traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed in the Tver region to the north of Moscow. The ten passengers aboard the aircraft were all killed.
