    Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work

    Must have been Russia. They dislike anything that is anti-corruption.

      I’d be willing to bet that their anti-corruption police are just as corrupt as their normal police.

      I’m guessing that these corruption police are just for appearances, or to be used to get rid of anything that Putin himself labels as “corruption”, since they work for him.

        Well there’s corruption that flows to you, but corruption that doesn’t flow to you? You better believe that’s a paddlin’.

          I would guess such a post is a pretty useful tool for Putin. Since everybody is corrupt in Russia, and that is an accepted fact, you always have some leverage over everybody with the looming threat of being charged for corruption if you happen to displease the czar.

      But since everyone is corrupt in Russia, anti-corruption means you can go after whoever you want to get out of the way.

        I figured out the culprit.

        Since logically, we would blame the second in command at the anticorruption police, the culprit is number 3 who’s hoping to frame number 2
