A Russian investigative journalist who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria has died in hospital after falling from his fifth-floor flat.

Maxim Borodin was found badly injured by neighbours in Yekaterinburg and taken to hospital, where he later died.

Local officials said no suicide note was found but the incident was unlikely to be of a criminal nature.

Well, the two bullets in the back of the head before "falling" from his window would definitely indicate suicide.

The connection could have been made in less than a month. Heck a smart person could probably do it in a few minutes . . .

The cause of death was he fell out of a window, naturally.

There was a mob informant who also died this way. They always want the public to know they did it, but at the same time have no way to prove they did it.

He tripped and fell - over an assassin.

I’m wondering, did Putin give Clinton’s tips on killing rivals, or did Clinton give him tips? Or did give each other’s pointers?

Louis Lemke, a chief assassin in Murder,Inc., and it produced the classic headline “the Canary that could sing but could not. He was under 24 hour police guard the time.

Defector Krivitsky, in Hotel in DC.

Jan Masaryk, Czech anti-communist leader, out the bathroom window which was 6 feet off the floor. Called a “suicide”.

The Soviet/Russians, KGB/SFB, hotels and defectors/critics seem to have something in common. The targeted people are killed by “suicide”.

I wonder if we can get a congressional investigation into these Russian/KGB killings, much like the 1960’s Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Comm. hearing entitled “Murder International, Inc. - Murder and Kidnaping as an Instrument of Soviet Policy”, March 26, 1965, pp. 1-168.

Would love to hear what Comey, Mueller, Clapper and Brennan would have to say about it besides doing their imitation of Sgt. Schulz - “I KNOW NOTHING!

Borodin—I recognize the name from music. An interesting Russian name:

Wikipedia: a Russian Romantic composer of Georgian-Russian origin, as well as a doctor and chemist. He was one of the prominent 19th-century composers known as The Mighty Handful, a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models.

Seems like every time a Russian is near an open window on an upper floor, shiite happens.

Business as usual, standard operating procedures, in KGB Putin’s Russia.
