Just a coincidence, I’m sure..................
Coincidence? Not a very big one. I wouldn’t want to be hated by Putin, and Russia and Georgia are frozen in a state of war against each other over South Ossetia.
On the other hand, there’s corruption and murder all over the place. Targamadze helped organize the Maidan in Ukraine, and coordinated the overthrow of Kyrgystan’s president. Both of those actions were certainly counter-Russian, but both can make you very hated by a lot of other people. People involved the Kyrgyz Tulip Revolution were dropping like flies about a decade ago.
While that revolution was in opposition to a Russian-friendly government, much of the violence seems to be linked to inter-faction conflict among the supporters of the revolution, which included actual reformers, old-line communists, radical jihadis, including Chechnyan terrorists, and simply organized criminals. Sorta like Syria. Russia sides with Assad, but that doesn’t mean that everyone who kills someone who is anti-Assad did so Assad’s behalf; there’s ISIS, Al Qaeda, Kurds, allegedly “moderate Muslims,” all killing each other.
