Putin and the FSB more than once staged terrorist attacks in their country (house bombings in Moscow, Nord-Ost) in order to raise their ratings and blame it on the Chechens who wanted independence from Russia, and thereby enlist the support of the population in the war against Chechnya. Therefore, it is not new for the Russian government to arrange such things, sacrificing its own people. Study in detail why Politkovskaya and many other people who spoke openly about it were killed. Here are some of her words ⬇️ Therefore, do not even doubt that Putin and the Russian government will blame Ukraine for today’s loss of people and the terrorist attack in Russia.

Russian politicians, journalists, and public figures who have fallen victim to Putin's regime: ◾️ Galina Starovoytova (killed on November 20, 1998) A State Duma deputy and advisor to President Yeltsin. She fought for the lustration of KGB officers and opposed the growing influence of security services in politics. She was shot in the entryway of her apartment building in St. Petersburg. The mastermind and motives of the crime were never established. At that time, Putin was a director of the Federal Security Service. ◾️ Artyom Borovik (died on March 9, 2000) A journalist and head of the Sovershenno Sekretno (Top Secret) publishing house. Known for his scathing publications on corruption and the hidden aspects of the Russian government. He died in a plane crash. Officially, the cause was crew error, but there were rumors that the plane had been blown up. Borovik was called a "powerful civil counterweight" to Putin and the KGB. ◾️ Sergey Yushenkov (killed on April 17, 2003) A State Duma deputy and co-chair of the Liberal Russia party. He was one of those who publicly questioned the FSB's version of the 1999 apartment bombings and accused the authorities of provocations. He was shot near the entrance of his apartment building in Moscow. ◾️ Yury Shchekochikhin (died on July 3, 2003) A journalist for the Novaya Gazeta newspaper and a State Duma deputy. He conducted high-profile journalistic investigations, including those involving the FSB and the 1999 apartment bombings. He suddenly fell ill and died from a severe toxic-allergic syndrome. According to colleagues, within two weeks, he aged drastically, his hair fell out in clumps, and nearly all the skin literally peeled off his body. The symptoms resembled thallium poisoning. ◾️ Anna Politkovskaya (killed on October 7, 2006) A journalist for Novaya Gazeta. She wrote the truth about the war in Chechnya, torture and punitive operations by law enforcers, and the crimes of Ramzan Kadyrov and his fighters. She accused Putin of turning Russia into a police state. She was shot in the elevator of her apartment block in Moscow on Putin's birthday. The perpetrators ended up in the dock, but the masterminds behind the murder were never identified. ◾️ Alexander Litvinenko (died on November 23, 2006) A former FSB officer who fled to the United Kingdom. In his books and interviews, he accused Russian security services of terrorism and organizing the 1999 apartment bombings. He died in London after being poisoned with polonium-210. A British investigation concluded that the murder was "probably" approved personally by Putin. ◾️ Natalya Estemirova (killed on July 15, 2009) A journalist and human rights activist. She collected evidence of abductions, torture, and extrajudicial killings in Chechnya. She was kidnapped from her home in Grozny and was soon found dead with gunshot wounds. No one was convicted of her murder. ◾️ Sergey Magnitsky (died on November 16, 2009) A lawyer for the Hermitage Capital fund who uncovered a major fraud scheme in Russia's tax service and the interior ministry. After he reported the crime, he himself was accused of fraud and arrested. He died in a pre-trial detention center. Before his death, he was beaten and denied medical care. His death led to the adoption in the US of the Magnitsky Act, which imposed personal sanctions on Russian citizens responsible for human rights violations in Russia. ◾️ Boris Nemtsov (killed on February 27, 2015) One of the most prominent opposition leaders of the 2000s. He criticized Putin for aggression against Ukraine and corruption, and was preparing a report on the war in Donbas. He was shot just a few hundred meters from the Kremlin. The perpetrators from Chechnya were convicted, but the masterminds were never found. ◾️ Alexei Navalny (died on February 16, 2024) In 2020, he survived poisoning with the Novichok agent. After treatment, he returned to Russia and was arrested. He was sentenced to 19 years in a maximum security penal colony. On February 16, 2024, he died in prison under mysterious circumstances. On September 17, Yulia Navalnaya stated that her husband had been poisoned in colony. This conclusion was reached by two laboratories that examined biological material. There is no doubt that Navalny was killed on Putin's orders.

"Obviously, he was killed by Putin," commented #Zelenskyy on the news of #Navalny's death. "It has just been revealed that Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison. Clearly, he was killed by Putin, much like thousands of others who have been tortured and suffered because of this individual. Putin does not care who dies; his primary concern is maintaining his position," stated the Ukrainian president during his visit to Berlin.

A journalist from India Today said that even Russian-speaking Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine were shocked by the actions of the Russians, to which Putin said that he "gave them the opportunity to express their will in a referendum," and those who didn’t want to, he claimed, "were free to leave." (So it's their own fault that Russia is destroying them, according to war criminal Putin?)

Putin was stunned by an uncomfortable question. It seems the dictator has forgotten how to answer them An Indian journalist caught Putin off guard with a question about Russian-speaking Ukrainians. Geeta Mohan asked the Russian leader what he could say to those Russian-speaking residents of Ukraine who, at the start of the invasion, were asking: “Why is Putin doing this to us?” Many of them spoke Russian, did not consider Russia an enemy, and never expected Russians to start destroying their homes. Putin was clearly confused and interrupted her: “I didn’t understand the question — shocked by what?” Mohan clarified that people were shocked that it was Russia that destroyed their homes. After a pause, Putin delivered a standard set of propaganda talking points: 📌 that these people supposedly lived in areas controlled by Kyiv, which the “Kyiv regime” was “destroying”; 📌 that Moscow was “forced” to launch the operation and “support” the occupation administrations; 📌 that “everyone could have left” if they didn’t want to “be with Russia”; 📌 and that the “referendums” were allegedly “open”. He never answered the main question — why Russia struck those it claimed it intended to protect.

October 7 was chosen for the Hamas attack on Israel by Putin because he’s a symbolism freak. The same day in 2006 Anna Politkovskaya was killed. He’s just like that, can’t help killing ppl on his bday. I joined Gabriella Hoffman in this wonderful interview and she didn’t know that October 7 is Putin’s bday. I hope that the American Conservative crowd finds out about it as well as Putin’s serial desire to kill

On this day in 2022, Putin illegally announced that four Ukrainian regions were now Russia. Today, Putin marked the so-called 'Day of Reunification' and said that millions of people in Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson "returned to Russia." In reality, he killed millions of people, both Ukrainians and Russians, for the sake of his power. Those who survived in the occupied territories silently hate and fear Putin and Russia. Russia leaves behind blackened, bombed-out cities with no water or prospects, from which young people are trying to flee. If Putin were to walk out onto a street in Mariupol without security, I think he would be torn to pieces. The graves in the video are from Mariupol.

A Russian was detained who was preparing a terrorist attack to kill Tucker Carlson on instructions from the Ukrainian special services. On suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack, a native of Podolsk was detained, who, acting on instructions from the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, was supposed to blow up the car in which the popular American journalist Tucker Carlson was traveling. It is known that the man was supposed to plant an explosive device under a car located in the underground parking lot in the building of the Four Seasons Hotel, where Tucker Carlson lived during his visit to Russia from February 1 to 8. The suspect was detained at the preparation stage; he failed to carry out his plans. It is known that the suspect confessed. He was recruited by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine in November 2023. The “curators” promised the performer $4,000 for successfully completing the task. Tucker Carlson himself, who interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin in early February, is confident that he was being monitored by US intelligence agencies. He said the surveillance was carried out by the US National Security Agency (NSA). According to Carlson, intelligence agencies leaked the collected data to the New York Times in order to disrupt the interview with Putin. Previously, Tucker Carlson was included in the database of the Myrotvorets website for “an attempt on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.”

Putin was unknown when he became president in 1999. The world asked “Who is Putin” Putin recounted that during their private conversation, Yeltsin did NOT refer to him as "successor." The reference was to the position of "prime minister with a future", meaning if all went well, further political advancement was possible, Putin said. However, when Yeltsin resigned prematurely, Putin ran for president and won the snap election. He had no political party and when asked he declared “the priority is to improve the lives of the people, and I will develop a political party later.” The world immediately asked “who is Putin?” (video). Today we know. He brought back Russia from poverty and humiliation to global 4th in GDP and a World Power.

🇷🇺⚡The Russian Intelligence forces, FSB has detained 8 teenagers who carried out arson on communication and transport facilities. The group was contacted by a Ukrainian through the messenger app. And then many ask why Russia bans most of these western apps. The western companies have been requested to release data on users for security reasons and prevent possible future terrorist attacks but Russia has been rejected although the companies are obligated to. These companies are complicit in these attacks. The teenagers could face up to or more than 10yrs behind bars. Still unclear if this was done for money or liberal beliefs.

FIONA HILL: Putin is starting to get very nervous about Russian society and perhaps elites. His choices are shrinking, and we can see that picture has become darker for Putin. On the front line, his army cannot advance, casualties are enormous and increasing. The other thing is oil. Everyone was expecting that Russia would have benefited enormously from the increase in oil prices. But in fact, sanctions that were imposed by Europeans and Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil have actually constrained those revenues. Revenue isn't the same as having more manpower or more weaponry, and he cannot turn the innovation tide against Ukraine. It's still costly for Putin to buy from abroad, from China, the components that he or the military needs for their weapons development. Putin is still trying to get others to hand him Ukraine's capitulation because situation for him doesn't look great.

This guy is a former employee of Crocus. He’s convinced that the FSB was behind that attack because Putin needs conscripts to occupy Kharkiv. He said that the billionaire who owned it put tons of money into it, and they had the best security, fire extinguishing systems, and reservoirs. There was no way for them not to work or even let anyone with explosives or weapons in. Also, OMON base was located opposite the Crocus, and it took an hour for them to come. Too many “coincidences”.

Anna Politkovskaya memorial plaque reinstalled for 26th time A new memorial plaque dedicated to murdered Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya has been restored for the 26th time since the start of the year. After the plaque was first destroyed in January, a Moscow court fined a city resident for destroying the plaque several days later, fining the man 1,000 rubles (€11) for petty hooliganism. However, in an editorial statement, Novaya Gazeta said that a neo-Nazi group had been behind the attack, also accusing it of defacing a makeshift memorial to human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov and Novaya Gazeta journalist Anastasia Baburova, both of whom were killed by neo-Nazis in Moscow in 2009. Politkovskaya, who gained international renown for her exposés of Kremlin corruption and the brutal treatment of civilians in Chechnya at the hands of Russian forces during the Second Chechen War, was assassinated in the stairwell of her own apartment building on Moscow’s Lesnaya Street on 7 October 2006. Those who ordered the crime have never been found. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2018 that the Russian government had failed to carry out an effective investigation into Politkovskaya’s murder. The statute of limitations on the case expired on 7 October 2021. 📹: RusNews
