Boris Nadezhdin told the wives of Russia’s mobilized soldiers the war was “a big mistake by Putin, of course, and the consequences will be very grave.”
A politician bidding to run against Vladimir Putin in Russia’s upcoming presidential election described the decision to go to war in Ukraine as a “big mistake” in comments to the wives of soldiers on Thursday.
Boris Nadezhdin, representing a centre-right party called Civic Initiative that has no seats in parliament, is seeking to gather the necessary 100,000 signatures from people across Russia to enable him to stand against Putin.
Nadezhdin, 60, told the soldiers’ wives that the war, which the Kremlin calls a “special military operation”, was “a big mistake by Putin, of course, and the consequences will be very grave.”
So he’s got like what, 48 hours before a tragic slip and fall?
It will come as a complete surprise when we hear that he committed suicide by four self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.
Oh it’s totally normal for someone to shoot themselves15 times with a gun that holds 11 bullets. They probably reloaded halfway through.
No no no no, first he will shoot himself in the back of the head, then fall down several flights of stairs, then shoot himself in the back of the head again, then he will fall out of the building. A message needs to be sent: you cannot be too careful what you say when you run against Putin.
This guy needs to stay in single story buildings… Probably for the rest of his life.
Russia regularly allows fall-guy opponents to play the part of opposition without threatening the regime. This guy will either have his signatures disqualified (if he’s legit) or get some single digits votes proving his ideas are not supported. If he starts to catch on he’ll fumble in some way to make sure it putters out. They reject actual opposition that could threaten the ruling party and can’t be controlled.
At this point it has to be “suicide by election” right? Why put yourself in the line of fire?
Does anyone know how he died?
I heard it was suicide. Poor bastard shot himself in the back of the head five times.
Can’t believe he was able to do that while falling 5 stories after tripping and falling
