Russia hit by wave of "absurd suicides" — what's happening

Experts decipher suspicious suicides in Russia
It's no secret that three influential businessmen died in September, and another in October.
More and more observers are inclined to believe that this "epidemic" of fake suicides is the work of the Kremlin.
Peter Doran, a Russia expert from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, expressed his opinion on this matter:
The thing is, these deaths are absurd. They shouldn't look like suicides or natural deaths. The message is, "When you get caught, bad things will happen to you."
Doran believes that the vast majority of these deaths were caused by greed and corruption that harm Putin's interests.
What is important to understand is that the Russian government often uses state and private companies to finance operations on which it does not want to leave its "fingerprints."
According to the expert, most of the deceased businessmen were likely caught stealing this money intended for the Kremlin's secret operations — and they paid for it with their own lives.
