A WEALTHY pro-Putin politician was found hanging from a tree with his hands bound, while an ex transport boss was found dead at a five star hotel.
These are the latest in a spate of mysterious high-profile deaths across Russia, with some of the victims known to be under the eye of the fearsome FSB.
Vitaly Kapustin, 43, a construction company boss and regional MP, was found swinging 20ft up from a tree branch with tightly bound hands.
Witnesses who spotted him from a highway called the police, and expressed strong doubts he had taken his own life.
One said: “I saw how high up he was. His hands seemed to be tied behind his back.
“A person wouldn’t just climb up there easily, the trees are very tall.”
An investigation has been launched into the death of the millionaire MP who was a member of the staunchly pro-Putin United Russia party.
This is the third suspicious death this week.
A transport boss, Alexander Fedotov, 49, was found dead at a five star hotel in Moscow.
His body was found outside the five-star Skypoint Luxe hotel at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport.
Fedotov had been staying there on a business trip, and was in a "high floor" room in the hotel, according to reports.
A criminal investigation is underway into his death, and no suicide note was found.
Fedotov had suddenly quit as transport chief for St Petersburg just last year.
It came amid reports of a probe by the FSB, Russia’s feared counterintelligence service.
Vladimir Putin’s transport minister Roman Starovoit, 53, died the same day he was fired by the Russian tyrant in July.
Fedotov had been linked to Starovoit, whose death remains highly suspicious to many observers.

You guys thot it was just an Arkansas thing?
Vince Foster and Ron Brown were not available for comment.
All the windows in Russia’s tall buildings are boarded up so these two could not jump out. Moscow Lowe’s is out of windows, too many recent personnel changes.
Clintoncide. He probably tied the noose to the tree after he tied his hands behind his back.
Someone’s feelings are hurt! Who could possibly suggest wrong-doing by the Russian security apparatus?
That one really cracks me up. 😆😄
Why do we now hear about all these Russian guys getting killed? The media wants us to think assassinations are the norm?
Putin’s allies are dropping like flies... Interesting.
Looks like they’re finally working their way towards a full out coup... You’ve got to get rid of his supporters and after that, it’s easy pickings.
Nah, the suicides are falling through a window with your hands tightly tied. LOL
Well…almost no one.
You guys live on this stuff. Its essential to your mental well-being.
It doesn’t matter who killed them. Dead Russians are usually a good thing these days. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Apparently they should lose a star then.
Rumor has it that Putin is getting suggestions from his own folks to end the war. He obviously doesn’t take suggestions well.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but this stuff IS worth a chuckle.
It is interesting when "marcus" posts consistently from British tabloids. It spurs skepticism, and so a closer reading yields Sun UK sources:
"Witnesses" and "one" and "...reports of a probe" and "widely circulated claims suggest..." Finally -- "law enforcement-linked channel VChK-OGPU."
"VChK-OGPU is[1] an anonymous Russian milblogger Telegram channel"So all are anonymous, and therefore verification of the details are impossible. Citing the Telegram channel was a small stumble on the writers' part."The Telegram channel 'VChK-OGPU' may have been compromised by hackers—specifically, accessed and deleted—rather than blocked by Telegram's administration, as previously assumed. According to Mash, the channel may have been taken over and erased, based on information provided by four individuals with ties to the cybersecurity field. Preliminary reports suggest that a group of professionals identified the phone number linked to the account, obtained a duplicate SIM card, gained access to the channel, and deleted it on April 7, 2025. The theory of a hack and deletion is indirectly supported by the channel's co-founder, Alexander Shvarev, who told the BBC that the SIM card associated with the channel was blocked around 1 a.m. between April 6 and 7. He noted that if Telegram itself had removed the channel, the SIM card would have remained active; SIM card blocking, he explained, typically occurs after a duplicate is issued. Telegram's administration also stated that the channel was deleted by its owner, 'possibly as a result of unauthorized access'."
VChK-OGPU Wiki
"Anonymous" is of course a favored source for media these days, not only in the Ukraine-Russia war, but throughout media.
Pro-Putin people are being murdered, and you blame Putin? My assessment of the mental capabilities of the sycophants of globalist Marxist elites is not improving.
“Vladimir Putin’s transport minister Roman Starovoit, 53, died the same day he was fired by the Russian tyrant in July.”
Thanks for the job offer, Vlad, but I think I’ll pass.
