Alexei Chernykh of Russia's anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work

Must have been Russia. They dislike anything that is anti-corruption.

[-] legion02@lemmy.world 92 points 11 months ago

I'd be willing to bet that their anti-corruption police are just as corrupt as their normal police.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

I like to think he was killed for shaking down the normal police for bribes to cover their corruption.

[-] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

I’d like to think he was killed for planting the marigolds next to the petunias.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Oh no, not again!

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That fucking monster!

[-] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Well they are trying to free Ukraine from nazis with nazis,… so it’s kind of their m.o.

No, corruption = Putin.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

And you are correct.

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 23 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing that these corruption police are just for appearances, or to be used to get rid of anything that Putin himself labels as "corruption", since they work for him.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

Well there's corruption that flows to you, but corruption that doesn't flow to you? You better believe that's a paddlin'.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 11 months ago

I would say it wasn't a paddlin', more like an explodin'.

I would guess such a post is a pretty useful tool for Putin. Since everybody is corrupt in Russia, and that is an accepted fact, you always have some leverage over everybody with the looming threat of being charged for corruption if you happen to displease the czar.

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

No, they are making sure that corruption is done correctly.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

No, they are for checked box. FSB and GRU does all getting rid of.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

But since everyone is corrupt in Russia, anti-corruption means you can go after whoever you want to get out of the way.

[-] DrQuint@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I figured out the culprit.

Since logically, we would blame the second in command at the anticorruption police, the culprit is number 3 who's hoping to frame number 2

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 55 points 11 months ago

I’m surprised he didn’t fall out of a window while mowing lawn. It’s anybody’s guess at his time.

Alexei Chernykh of Russia's anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work at his country cottage in Shchetinovka, Russia - just 1,000ft from the Ukraine border.

If he was with the anti-corruption police, it might have been someone in the military (with access to drones) that he was investigating for corruption.

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Or, and this might be a crazy theory, if he was only 1k feet from the Ukrainian border, maybe, just maybe, Ukraine got him, since he would be a high profile target and Russia is currently at war with Ukraine. He worked for Putin, so despite the "anti-corruption" title, the chances of him actually going after real corruption is slim to none. "Corruption" in this case probably just means "whoever Putin is mad at atm". Even if he was killed by his own team for whatever reason, the one behind it would most likely be Putin himself.

Alexei Chernykh of Russia's anti-corruption police

Who knows but he probably had many enemies in his own team.

[-] Erasmus@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Man it would suck to be in any sort of military or political position there. Never knowing from day to day who you are going to piss off next or what window you are going to get pushed out of.

[-] AssPennies@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Well I guess nobody expected that.
