Russian journalist and Putin critic, and recent Ukrainian citizen, Alexander Shchetinin has been found dead in his flat. He was found sitting in a chair on a balcony, with a gunshot wound to the head, with a gun under the chair. Shells also seem to have been found at the scene, and the door was locked. A suicide note was found at the scene, and apparently an email was sent to one of his friends, apparently from his email account, which contained language talking about a suicide. However the Russians are well acquainted with computers and assassinations, and Pavel Sheremet was murdered in a car bomb blast only a few months ago in the middle of a Kyiv square.

Russia Beyond the Headlines has also suggested he may have had financial problems.

Putin has always been a happy go lucky guy with his critics...

I always thought Dubya envied him somewhat att when he was in office because he could nerf government so much that he could stay in power.

Just remember this when you think about voting for Donald "Putin is my best friend" Trump.

Donald saying Putin is his friend makes sense now. I'd be saying the same thing. Oblivion can wait.

This is what happens when you go Shchetinin Putin's private gilded WC.

What? Too soon?
