Yes. And he hate opposition.
Pyotr Verzilov is one of the publishers of the independent news website Mediazona that are critical to Putin's regime.

I guess that soon there are no independent news outlets left in Russia...

Two Russian guys in the 30's working in the fitness industry takes a holiday trip from Moscow to Salisbury England to watch Salisbury cathedral.
First day after beeing in London they came there it was too much “muddy slush everywhere.” so they couldn't walk the about one mile to the cathedral from the train station.
So they went back to London and came back next day because the snow had melted and they wanted “to finish this thing".
Aren't Russians used to snow even if it's slush?
And perhaps at most one inch thick since it was gone next day.

Well thats one lie from the RT interview with Petrov and Boshirov today.

They lie through their teeth!

They lie through their teeth!

Are you sure they are teeth? More likely to be spy devices. ;-)

In Russia's state TV Rossia 1 they also laughed when discussing RT's interview:)

As they show the clips of RT's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan "interviewing" #Skripal poisoning suspects, panelists and hosts on #Russia's state TV can't stop giggling. Even they can't help themselves, because the whole thing is beyond laughable. What a pathetic PR moment.

Putin says "Russia is a peace-loving country, we don't have any aggressive plans"

I wonder when Russia will enter the 21st century:)
A Moscow correspondent for BBC News

Oh, the glamorous life of a foreign correspondent. In my Siberian hotel room this week, instead of a shower, there was a “bowl for washing feet”. The sign on the wall reads: “The bus to the showers leaves every Thursday at 3pm from Block 6”.

He also said

I wanted this week to be about:
Rachmaninoff
Tchaikovsky
Shostakovich

But these names dominated Russia’s week:
'Petrov' (Novichok suspect)
'Boshirov' (the other one)
Zolotov (Putin ex-bodyguard threatened Navalny)
Verzilov (Kremlin critic hospitalised)

Has Russia also distributed the pamphlet "If there is a crisis or a war" to the public as we have recently done in Sweden again since the Cold War?
Just in case our pamphlet it's also translated in to Russian:)
В брошюре «Если наступит кризис или война» рассказывается о том, как мы, жители Швеции, можем лучше подготовиться к последствиям серьёзных происшествий, экстремальной погоды, ИТ-атак или военных конфликтов

Oh If forgot. Russia is mocking Sweden for doing the same thing as Russia does now.

RT, Russia Today:
“This week the world was asking, does Sweden know something we don’t? The famously peaceful and egalitarian home of flat-pack furniture handed out a guide to fighting a war to all of its citizens.
Swedes were told to prepare for “total defense,” and that “resistance will never cease,” which is easy to say when an actual enemy doesn’t appear to exist, and your nation hasn’t fought a war in two centuries.
However, there may be a bigger issue facing Sweden, and any other country should they decide to fight a war.
ICYMI ponders whether millennials could even be persuaded to enter a conflict zone where WiFi is notoriously temperamental, and the work-life balance precarious at best.” – RT.com

The UK think modern defence must include both government, business and the population as well.
And maybe know something that common Russians don’t.

In total, the police estimates that there are 5,000 criminals in Sweden, divided into 200 networks.
Therefore he appeal to other social actors.

Not countries. LOL!

Kremlin will of course say that all of this is not from official sources and of course deny all of it.
Tomorrow Bellingcat and Russian Insider will give further details.
But then "Vova" Putin will smile and "Masha" aka Maria Zakharova coming up with some very strange alternative explanations...

Maybe GRU should learn how to keep identities hidden like the most searched Boris the Shashlik King:)

"From the start, the Russian side appealed to the UK with a request to provide information on nature, circumstances of that case and any other details. No information has been provided through official channels. We cannot use information that comes from the media and we don't want to do so. Moreover, we will not engage in any explanations or comments on the topics that are thrown into the media," Peskov told reporters.

Full report: Skripal Poisoning Suspect Dr. Alexander Mishkin, Hero of Russia
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2018/10/09/full-report-skripal-poisoning-suspect-dr-alexander-mishkin-hero-russia/

The person travelling under the alias of Ruslan Boshirov was identified as GRU’s Col. Anatoliy Chepiga, recipient of Russia’s highest state award.
We have identified “Alexander Petrov” to be in fact Dr. Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin, a trained military doctor in the employ of the GRU.

Colonel Yevgenia Shishkina, Senior Russian Investigator, has been added to the list of suspicious Russia-related deaths.
She was shot in the neck and back outside her home wednesday morning.
Recently she had been investigating embezzlement at Aeroflot.
Shishkina had escaped an assassination attempt earlier this year when her empty car was set on fire, the Mash Telegram channel reported and the Investigative Committee later confirmed.

I think everybody knows that working as an investigating journalist in Russia is very dangerous if the work is about corruption and especially if it has links to Putin.
Now it's come clear that even Russian officials are in jeopardy if they do the same work.
BLIN! Putin is becoming like Stalin!

Russia ranked 135th out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s 25th annual Corruption Perceptions Index and dropping!
