I've followed his blog. A former soldier and war veteran, sharp critic of Putin regime, civil activist, targeted in a massive smear and intimidation campaign, had to flee Russia with family. Memory eternal.

 

Oops, I'm not dead after all . . .

I learned of this here! Woo-hoo!!! How nice it is to hear good news from home, and a security apparatus doing its darned job for a change, to boot!

You wouldn't believe the number of Russian Internet commenters and bots celebrating Babchenko's death over the last few days. A um-person who ordered his murder is not the only entity flushed out in this SBU op. Great, great work.

 

Ok, ok, so he’s not Russian. But he is blown up

Damn!

 

He will not be missed.

 

Another unfortunate accident

Better said, the Fusion GPS lawyer.

 

A corrupt Russian prosecutor caught recruiting double agents dies in a helicopter crash in a forest in Moscow Region. Death presumably confirmed by a local Russian police department. Hmmm.... what are the chances that the beat cop who signed the documents retired and "can't be located", and a moderately wealthy Armenian businessman approximately Karapetyan's age just retired to Panama? Meanwhile, Karapetyan's body was cremated "according to family wishes"? Oh man, this is just too James Bond! Pity that the daring spy game he did in Switzerland was just covering up for mafia money laundering and fraud.

 

It's not just Russians that have suddenly "become ill."

 

occupational hazard?

Yes. "Evil underling" is a dangerous job. Biggest hazards? Coworkers, subordinates, and higher-ups.

Russia delenda est.

 

OK, so he's not exactly Russian. He's Iranian. But he DID fall on some bullets.
