It was a dramatic start to the week in Russia.
On Monday morning, Vladimir Putin sacked his transport minister, Roman Starovoit.
By the afternoon Starovoit was dead; his body was discovered in a park on the edge of Moscow with a gunshot wound to the head. A pistol, allegedly, beside the body.
Investigators said they presumed the former minister had taken his own life.
Obvious plot twist: he did not shoot himself
It is also entirely possible he was “persuaded” into taking his life.
Yeah it could have been a Rommel type situation.
Suicide, or spend the rest of your life in a Russian prison?
Yeah, entirely possible this was a genuine suicide.
Or worse, threats to family and other loved ones.

This happens in the US when politicians votes are needed.
Perhaps but you might notice this is not a post about US politicians voting for something.
