Vladimir Putin's enemies and critics have often met violent deaths at the height of their conflicts.
Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin's most formidable domestic opponent, fell unconscious and died Friday in a prison colony in the Arctic.
The details of what happened are unknown; Navalny's team says it has no official confirmation of his death and Russian authorities say they are investigating why he died. His allies previously accused Russian officials of trying to poison him with a nerve agent in 2020.
Putin's other enemies have been targeted in various ways: shootings, poisonings and even a plane crash. Many of the deaths are never solved and remain listed as accidents and suicides, leaving open the question of how many of his enemies Putin has included over the years.
Putin's shady methods first came to international attention during the case of Alexander Litvinenko, a former member of the FSB security service who had become an opponent of Putin and died in London in 2006 of polonium-210 poisoning.
Secondly, the former head of the Wagner paramilitary group was on bad terms with Putin when he arrived in Moscow last August. But an explosion sent the plane spiraling toward the ground, killing Prigozhin, field commander Dmitry Utkin and eight others on board.
One of the most brutal killings of a Putin critic was the 2015 shooting of Boris Nemtsov, an opposition leader who had served as deputy prime minister and was seen shooting a potential successor four times. Five men were arrested over the attack, but those close to Nemtsov believed Putin was directly involved.
Not only his political enemies, even journalist Anna, who had reported critically on Putin, was shot in her Moscow apartment building in 2006.
Investigations and public inquiries into the death have revealed nothing definitive other than the officially determined cause of suicide.
The question now is: how much more and for how long? Is this democracy or dictatorship, tell me
