Do you realize that both pieces at #43 and #44 are premium deep state propaganda but geared more towards right wing consumption?
I can’t say much about the second link due to the lack of information but Butina is not an FSB sort of person for a too long list of reasons. Less so for military intelligence. They just don’t hire such people because they aren’t considered loyal enough to the motherland according to their internal standards.
As for the first link it is the craziest spin of known events I have ever seen. It is even longer to explain but they mention Paul Khlebnik’s Forbe’s specials ‘The Godfather of Kremlin’ and ‘Interview with Barbarian’ which were spot on on Bevezovsky and Chechen insurgency.
These relevations has killed him and not Putin as Berezovsky’s propaganda states since Paul was Putin’s big time ally in US.
Nobody argues Bevezovsky helped Clintons and Soros to pick Putin to replace Yeltsin at the time although your piece doesn’t mention Clintons and Soros role at all.
Their common problem with Putin is that he accepted their support but then changed the rules of game refusing to be their puppet.
Bevezovsky is not a Putin’s puppet who were sabotaging Russian opposition in UK. He was a failed puppet master in a crusade against Putin.
The so-called murdered spy Litvinenko was a link between Berezovsky’s and Muslim Brotherhood. Berezovsky was also a link between Clintons and Yeltsin administration. He basically used his influence over Yeltsin to advance Clinton’s interest vs FSB and Muslim Brotherhood’s against the Russian military.
He died by suicide because he got used to superyachts and underage hookers burning a billion dollars a year and turned out penniless in exile. He had no money to pay his chauffeur and was living in someone’s else home in his last days.
