Navalny's death comes after the pilot who fled Ukraine died in Spain. The suspicious deaths of Russia's enemies are once again under scrutiny. It is said that Russian President Vladimir Putin neither forgets nor forgives his enemies. The fate of those who stand against him is almost sealed; only the methods vary, whether they are close associates or staunch adversaries. Navalny's suspicious death in jail has sparked global concerns, with many asserting that it is not a natural death but a murder plot.
Some claim that there were attempts to poison Navalny with nerve agent in 2020. Navalny, at that time, was on a flight from Moscow when he fell severely ill, and the plane had to make an emergency landing in Germany. He was hospitalized for two days, and doctors confirmed that he was poisoned with a nerve agent. Nerve agents, similar to those used by the Soviet Union and later Russia, have been employed multiple times. However, Navalny is not the first to face such allegations.
Former KGB officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with the nerve agent polonium-210 in the UK in 2006. Skripal was considered a double agent in Putin's eyes, and he was allegedly eliminated by Russian agents on Putin's orders. Similarly, Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB agent who fled Russia, was poisoned with radioactive polonium in his tea in London in 2006. The UK investigation concluded that Russian agents carried out the assassination on Putin's orders.
The list of suspicious deaths goes on, including the shooting of Putin's political heir Boris Nemtsov in 2015 and the mysterious fall of Putin critic Boris Berezovsky in 2013. These instances have raised questions about the deaths being suicides or carefully orchestrated plots. The circumstances surrounding the deaths are often shrouded in mystery, leaving the world to speculate on the methods employed, be it poison, falls, or plane crashes.
The recent plane crash that claimed the lives of Wagner Army Chief Yevgeny Rigozhin and other top officers, who were considered challengers to Putin, adds another layer to the pattern of mysterious deaths. The crash occurred just when they were attempting a coup. The abrupt plane crash resulted in the death of Rigozhin and ten others.
The pattern of suspicious deaths extends beyond Russia's borders, with incidents like the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in the UK and the mysterious illnesses of figures like Pussy Riot's founder Pyotr Verzilov in 2018. These incidents, whether classified as suicide, poisoning, or falls, continue to fuel global speculation about Putin's role in eliminating his opponents.
It is crucial to note that these accounts are based on reported incidents and allegations, and the true nature of these deaths may not be definitively established. Investigations into these cases often involve political complexities and challenges, making it challenging to uncover the complete truth.
