Shot, hanged, jumped out of a window. InformNapalm has compiled a list of deaths of Russian generals. Infographics. A series of mysterious deaths of Russian generals

Whoever finds out who really controls the world and tries to convey information to society, dies in a strange way, commits suicide, goes to prison, disappears or dies. This means that there are people who have discovered a terrible secret and their conclusions are worth listening to. Maybe disasters are organized by liquidators? But who are they? What forces are behind this? We won't know about this anytime soon.

It is no secret that Russian generals often die, and not always a natural death. This is stated in an article by the international community InformNapalm, the authors of which tried to compile the most complete list of the most mysterious and slightly less mysterious deaths of generals and admirals, which are replete with the modern history of Russia, Censor.NET reports.

“The circumstances of the death of these people in many cases remain unclear, the secrets are buried. Let's leave it to the readers to decide for themselves which of this was an accident, which was murder, which was suicide, and which was ordinary death from old age or illness. We also compiled an infographic of the deaths of Russian generals, on a scale that distinguished two eras of the reign of Russian presidents.”

General of the Army, ex-Minister of Defense of Russia, Rodionov Igor Nikolaevich.

He was supposed to act as the main witness for the defense at the trial of the publisher Korchagin, who dared to publish the book “Generals about the Jewish Mafia.” There were more than 20 pages of information about exposing the criminal activities of Defense Minister Serdyukov. All those people who dared to write and talk about the world conspiracy of the Zionists, one way or another, were killed under strange circumstances, simulating suicide or serious illness. Literally in a matter of days, he is diagnosed with throat cancer, the same as that of unwanted Latin American presidents. He had surgery and now cannot speak.

Marshal of the USSR, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR and First Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR (1984 - 1988) Akhromeev Sergey Fedorovich.

After the failure of the putsch, the State Emergency Committee committed suicide in his Kremlin office on August 24, 1991 (at that time Akhromeyev worked as an adviser to Mikhail Gorbachev on military issues). However, the materials of the suicide case are full of inconsistencies and oddities. Firstly, the method of suicide itself is striking: the military man decides not to shoot himself, but to hang himself, also in a sitting position. Secondly, according to the notes left behind, there were two suicide attempts on the same day, but there are testimonies of witnesses who saw Akhromeyev and received orders from him by telephone in the interval between the two attempts. Thirdly, one of the witnesses said that at the same interval someone entered and left Akhromeyev’s office. Fourthly, the investigator was not allowed to the scene of the incident for a very long time and was forbidden to take witnesses. On September 1, 1991, Marshal Akhromeyev was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery without military honors.

Colonel General Gusev Yuri Alexandrovich.

Died in a car accident on November 30, 1992 in Moscow. There were persistent rumors that in fact it was a planned murder, since Gusev’s driver suddenly lost consciousness seconds before the accident. The cause of the driver's sudden illness was never established.

Head of the military counterintelligence department of the Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Nikolai Vasilievich Egorkin.

In February 1993, on the way to the airport near Vladivostok, as a result of a collision between a service Volga and a ZIL, the head of the military counterintelligence department of the Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Yegorkin, was killed. He was heading to Moscow for a meeting of heads of Russian intelligence services and law enforcement agencies on the problems of combating organized crime and corruption.

Army General Viktor Pavlovich Barannikov.

In the past, he was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR (1990 - 1991), the last Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR (1991) and the Minister of Security of the Russian Federation (1992 - 1993). Involved in the Karabakh conflict. He is also known for taking part in the arrest of the USSR Minister of Defense Yazov after the August 1991 putsch. On July 21, 1995, he died at his dacha from a stroke, having previously served time in Lefortovo in 1993 for organizing mass riots in September-October 1993.

One of the leaders of the GRU of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Major General Lomanov.

Major General of the GRU General Staff of the Russian Federation Shipilov.

On May 5, 1997, Major General of the GRU of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Shipilov committed suicide. He jumped out of the window of his apartment in a building on Krylatskie Hills Street. He did not leave a posthumous note, but according to investigators, the cause was Shipilov’s mental disorder, which manifested itself after the general’s return from Yugoslavia. Since the early 1990s, Shipilov held the position of military attaché in Yugoslavia (he worked during hostilities), and was involved in organizing peace negotiations during the Yugoslav conflict.

Lieutenant General Rokhlin Lev Yakovlevich.

Lieutenant General Rokhlin led the capture of the presidential palace and a number of districts in Grozny. He was the contact person for negotiating a ceasefire with Chechen field commanders. Refused to be awarded the Hero of Russia for the successful capture of Grozny:

“In a civil war, commanders cannot gain glory. The war in Chechnya is not Russia’s glory, but its misfortune.”

In 1997, Rokhlin created his own political movement, was always in opposition to power, according to some rumors he was planning a military overthrow, according to others - the impeachment of Yeltsin. On the night of July 3, 1998, he was found shot dead at his own dacha. His own wife was accused of killing the general.

Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Organized Crime Control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Major General Baturin.

Also in July 1998, the deputy head of the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Major General Baturin, died in a car accident. Some Russian media linked his death to the investigation into the murder of journalist Dmitry Kholodov, who seriously explored the topic of corruption in the Russian Ministry of Defense. A group of servicemen from the 45th Airborne Special Forces Regiment, led by the Airborne Forces intelligence chief Popovskikh, is put on trial for the murder of Kholodov (the court will acquit them all). It turns out that the 45th Airborne Regiment participated in special operations to physically eliminate Russian and foreign citizens both within Russia and abroad. In the course of the case, the investigation turns to the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and to Baturin himself, who personally signed cover documents for the soldiers of the 45th regiment. Soon after this, Baturin dies.

Head of the GRU Directorate, Major General Shalaev.

Lieutenant General Lebed Alexander Ivanovich.

Lieutenant General Lebed died on April 28, 2002 in a MI-8 helicopter crash in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. General Lebed, along with General Rokhlin, was often called the most likely candidates to lead a military rebellion in the Russian Federation.

TO BE CONTINUED…

On February 19, Svetlana Peunova sent an appeal to President Putin in connection with the developments in eastern Ukraine.

To the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin

from the leader of the All-Russian political party "VOLYA" Svetlana Mikhailovna Peunova

Mr. President!

I believe that you and your circle are deliberately dragging Russia into the third world war and imposing on us a “new world order” that will destroy Russia, our people and most of humanity.

An analysis of the events shows that it was you who provoked the bloody hostilities in eastern Ukraine, and not the civil activists of this poor and unarmed country.

Before our eyes, the same spectacle of provocations that began both the first and second world wars is being played out.

If these cross-dressing performances of the secret services had been exposed in time, there would have been no world wars, ordinary people would not have died in the tens of millions for the interests of the bankers dividing the world's wealth among themselves.

Most of this wealth rightfully belongs to us - the indigenous peoples of Ukraine and Russia, who are being drawn into a bloody massacre by your actions.

After all, you know that the first checkpoints in eastern Ukraine were set up by retired FSB colonel Strelkov-Girkin, who illegally crossed the border with Ukraine.

All over Russia there is a massive recruitment of mercenaries - also obviously not without your knowledge.

Our military contractors, and according to some sources, conscripts, are going to fight in our brotherly country, causing legitimate indignation of Ukrainians who are defending their land.

Russian warriors have never been mercenaries or aggressors.

We, the peoples of Russia, are experiencing this shame precisely during your reign, Mr. President.

Who gave you the right to send our relatives to death?

You do not inform the country's public that Russian military personnel are being sent to a neighboring state.

Protecting the Russian-speaking population is an excuse.

It is obvious that there is a campaign to destroy the Ukrainian and Russian peoples.

How are you different from the Ukrainian president, who sends an army against the civilians of his country, uses the services of foreign mercenaries and announces a general mobilization of his citizens?

It is obvious to me and all the people that initially the civilians of Donbass who decided to become militias did not have heavy weapons, the skills to control them, the experience of armed seizure of buildings, the construction of fortified checkpoints, they are not able to kill in cold blood.

It is well known that the “militia” was initially led by citizens of the Russian Federation.

This was admitted, in particular, by the same Strelkov-Girkin.

We believe that without your assistance the situation would not have gone so far.

Maybe it was you who set them the task of starting and maintaining this war?

New facts are constantly emerging that support this conclusion. Thus, according to information from the RBC news agency, Russia finances a significant part of the militia’s needs; hryvnias unnecessary in what became Russian Crimea were delivered to the DPR (http://top.rbc.ru/politics/01/09/2014/946346.shtml ).

The army of Novorossiya is armed with hundreds of tanks, modern multiple launch rocket systems, and artillery that came from nowhere.

Their active use in battles requires hundreds of tons of fuel, lubricants, ammunition, and spare parts every day.

Over the entire period of fighting, the need for them is probably measured in tens of thousands of tons.

It is unrealistic that the “militia” could recapture all this from the Ukrainian army, without regular supplies from Russia.

Photos and videos of the latest Russian weapons and armored vehicles, which have never previously been officially supplied to Ukraine and are not in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, are often posted on the Internet.

These heavy weapons could obviously enter the combat zone only from Russia and with the knowledge of Russian government agencies.

Here are some examples:

During a video report by correspondent Graham Philipps from the battlefield in the area of the “Debaltsevo cauldron”, the latest Russian T-72BZ tank, used by the “militia”, appeared in the frame (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkbVnpEbVwY). Deliveries of these tanks to the Russian army began only in 2012;

TV channels (including the Rossiya 24 channel) showed a story about the exercises of the “militia” at the LPR training ground. BPM-97 armored vehicles (KAMAZ-43269 “Vystrel”), which are in service in Russia and have never been supplied to Ukraine, took part in the exercises . (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=twlrxSuzIcc#t=36)

According to the “Committee of Soldiers' Mothers” of St. Petersburg, in various regions of Russia, conscript soldiers are being forced to sign contracts, apparently in order to send new “vacationers” to the war in Ukraine.

Can all this really happen without your knowledge and your instructions?

I believe that your actions too often directly contradict the interests and security of Russia, and it is primarily foreign states and international oligarchs who benefit from them.

During your reign, the Russian army has been reduced, disarmed and demoralized, the army's property has been largely sold off and stolen.

The systematic destruction of ammunition depots continues.

As commander in chief, you are directly responsible for this.

During the years of your reign, a catastrophically large number of ammunition depots were blown up, and more than 6 million tons of ammunition have been destroyed as planned since 2010!

I consider the transit of aggressive armies of NATO countries through our territory to be a betrayal of the interests of the people of Russia.

Many Russian citizens are unaware that, under agreements concluded during your reign with the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, foreign weapons, military equipment, military equipment and NATO military personnel with weapons and equipment are transported through our country visa-free and duty-free.

Thus, the US military alone is allowed to make up to 4,500 flights per year in each direction over our territory! Moreover, the Russian leadership transferred the costs of air navigation services for American transit to the Russian budget. In 2012 alone, 190 million rubles were allocated for these purposes. And even anti-Russian sanctions and military actions in Ukraine did not force you to break the agreement on NATO travel through Russian soil.

This is open cooperation with a potential enemy, not ostentatious hostility!

In a country with the largest farmland, agriculture and domestic food production have been destroyed, and dependence on imported products has been artificially created. This, in the context of anti-Russian sanctions, led to the threat of famine in the country.

Under your rule, industry also degraded, and Russia's colonial dependence on the sale of raw materials to the West was created.

Small and medium-sized businesses in Russia have been practically destroyed.

An unrealistically expensive Winter Olympics was held in subtropical Sochi, the country's budget is being wasted on the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Russian citizens may be left without pensions at all - the government is giving them... to the oligarchs!

I believe that in such a situation, your continued stay in power becomes dangerous for Russia and its people.

You say one thing, but do something completely different.

You declare that you are becoming independent from America and Western capital, but you yourself are drawing Russia into obvious dependence on them.

The agreement you signed in 2007 states that Russia undertakes to act as “if it were a member of the NATO bloc”!

Have you asked Russian citizens if they want this?

You hastily dragged Russia into WTO membership - and its charter is placed above the laws of Russia. Another step into colonial dependence.

The Bank of Russia is obviously not a state structure, and you carefully hide the name of its owner - obviously a private person, most likely a foreigner, American or Englishman.

This is not the “Bank of Russia”, as you deceptively call it, but in fact a “branch” of the IMF - a structure that kills the sovereignty of states.

And Sberbank (50% + 1 share) belongs not to the state, but to the Central Bank - that is, to a private person?

Thus, secretly from the people, we became the complete property of the West, because America writes the laws for us, as Deputy Fedorov claims.

And these laws are openly repressive, eliminating the indigenous people of Russia from the world, like the aborigines of Australia and the Indians of America - your masters have a rich experience in getting rid of the indigenous people.

The people are indoctrinated with the idea that you have nothing to do with it and that bad officials are to blame.

But you, Mr. President, in our country have practically unlimited, essentially “imperial” powers in relation to any of the branches of government.

It is you who have the right at any time to remove from office any presumptuous official, remove an incompetent Government, dissolve the State Duma, dismiss any judge or prosecutor.

Maybe it's you?

After all, you were Yeltsin’s successor, whom former British intelligence officer John Coleman, in his revealing book “The Committee of 300,” ranked as an agent of the British intelligence service MI6.

At the same time, Yeltsin came to undivided power as a result of the bloody anti-Russian “Maidan” in 1993 with the assistance of foreign intelligence services.

Appointments to key positions under Yeltsin were managed by staff members of the CIA, who, according to eyewitnesses, occupied an entire floor in the Federal Property Management Agency.

You have publicly admitted this.

I don't believe that you are the same Putin who became president of Russia in 2000.

In the last few years, the president’s appearance has changed so much that it became clear to the naked eye that on behalf of Putin V.V. different people perform.

Both domestic and world media are already talking about this.

The same means that state structures are ready to use against the people, the people demand to be applied first of all to the person (or several persons) speaking on behalf of the president.

I'm talking about checking your biometric data.

The country's population has the right to get answers to their questions: is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin alive?

After all, since 2004, we obviously have not seen the person we were called President Putin.

Who really runs our country?

It is possible that under the guise of Putin, his doubles, that is, Western intelligence agencies, rule. The practice of using doubles is widely known in history, because Yeltsin’s reign was clearly ended by a double, as we learned.

Your actions and your appearance make us believe that there has been a seizure of power in the country by the enemies of our country.

After all, it is obvious that Anglo-American bankers directly benefit from your actions. And 95% of all large Russian businesses are already in foreign jurisdiction.

Citizen President!

I express no confidence in you, your entourage, as well as the rulers of Ukraine, the United States and the leading countries of the European Union, whose actions are helping to fan the global crisis and the fire of the third world war.

I believe that both Poroshenko and you are playing on the international stage the roles that America wrote for you, your attacks against each other are a performance.

I demand a real cessation of hostilities in Ukraine and the withdrawal of all mercenaries, military specialists, and weapons from the territory of Ukraine, both pro-Russian and pro-Western.

I believe that in the current situation it is urgently necessary to initiate an investigation into the fact of changes in Putin’s appearance with the involvement of specialists and experts from various fields: criminologists, geneticists, specialists performing photographic examinations, plastic surgeons, customs and airport employees, voice recognition specialists, as well as with the involvement of people who knew V.V. Putin well and members of his family.

I believe that you have changed the election legislation for one purpose: to prevent representatives of the indigenous people, people from the broad masses, from participating in elections.

I demand your resignation as someone who has not lived up to the trust of the people.

The people will be able to choose from their ranks openly, and not secretly, honest and educated representatives who work for the common good, without secret agreements and appropriation of the nation's wealth.

Without respect to you, Svetlana Peunova – Lada Rus

Down with the fascist junta!

The main war criminals to be tried by a military tribunal!

We demand to stop the unconstitutional and illegal activities of terrorists and extremists of the criminal community!

It is no secret that Russian generals often die, and not always a natural death. In this article, volunteers of the international community InformNapalm tried to compile the most complete list of the most mysterious and slightly less mysterious deaths of generals and admirals, which are replete with the modern history of Russia. The circumstances of the death of these people in many cases remained not fully clarified, the secrets were buried. Let's leave it to the readers to decide for themselves which of this was an accident, which was murder, which was suicide, and which was ordinary death from old age or illness.

He is responsible for both preparing the ground for the seizure of cities in the entire south-east of the country, as well as the occupation by Russian troops and their mercenaries of parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which, under the strict leadership of Sergun, turned into the self-proclaimed pseudo-republics of the “DPR” and “LPR”, where to this day Violence, robbery, looting and human trafficking are rampant. It also makes sense to associate Sergun’s name with the crash of Boeing 777 flight MH17, which was shot down by a surface-to-air missile in the Torez area on July 17, 2014. Contrary to the official statement of the Russian side that Sergun died of acute heart failure in the Moscow region, the American The private intelligence and analytical company Stratfor reported that according to its data, Sergun actually died in Lebanon on January 1, 2016.

There is every reason to believe that after each significant operation, the Kremlin carries out a series of purges in the apparatus of the top military leadership. The scale of Russian war crimes in Syria and Ukraine suggests that the next “general’s starfall” is just beginning. The majority of Russian generals are left with two options: to flee and ask for political asylum, telling the details of war crimes during a military tribunal, or to become another “paratrooper” or die in a noose “from cancer.” There is always a choice...
