They have died one by one. Russian oligarchs, politicians and successful businessmen. In the 25 years that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in power, more than 100 deaths with mysterious circumstances have been noticed, and many suspect that Putin and the Kremlin are responsible. Several of those who died have been openly critical of Putin and above all the war in Ukraine. Many have held government positions in the Russian oil company Gazprom, or in some other way had connections to the Kremlin. In some cases, entire families have been killed, with several of the victims being children. And now another Russian oligarch has died under mysterious circumstances. Why are so many people with connections to President Vladimir Putin suddenly dying?
