        Sad, tragic -- yes. Shocking? Not in the least. He fled Russia and settled in Kiev because of ceaseless murder threats. He knew he would be murdered, sooner or later. He was killed for his words. That's what happens to Putin's most prominent and biting critics. RIP.

        Reports of his death are greatly exaggerated. Guy just showed up to a press conference.

        Russian leadership; Paranoid, insecure, greedy people, with nuclear weapons and no morality. Realy frightening.

        Was this not a hoax that he conjured up to escape?

        Actually not dead. His “death” was faked in an attempt to expose the people who are trying to kill him.

        This is what I think of when whiny American journalists complain about Trump calling them out for their incompetence. They have no idea what a truly oppressive regime looks like - and it sure ain't Twitter.

        Or not lol. And if Ukraine likes him enough to not make sure he stayed dead he's probably been lying all along. We have here a wonderful example of why rationalists shouldn't allow themselves to be conned into being militarists and interventionists -- they're too manipulable
