      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’m surprised he didn’t fall out of a window while mowing lawn. It’s anybody’s guess at his time.

      Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work at his country cottage in Shchetinovka, Russia - just 1,000ft from the Ukraine border.

      If he was with the anti-corruption police, it might have been someone in the military (with access to drones) that he was investigating for corruption.

        Or, and this might be a crazy theory, if he was only 1k feet from the Ukrainian border, maybe, just maybe, Ukraine got him, since he would be a high profile target and Russia is currently at war with Ukraine. He worked for Putin, so despite the “anti-corruption” title, the chances of him actually going after real corruption is slim to none. “Corruption” in this case probably just means “whoever Putin is mad at atm”. Even if he was killed by his own team for whatever reason, the one behind it would most likely be Putin himself.

      Who knows but he probably had many enemies in his own team.

      Man it would suck to be in any sort of military or political position there. Never knowing from day to day who you are going to piss off next or what window you are going to get pushed out of.
