Russia’s transport minister killed himself, Moscow said on Monday, just hours after it announced that he had been fired by Vladimir Putin.
Roman Starovoit, who formerly served as governor of the Kursk border region invaded by Ukraine, was found dead in his car from a gunshot wound, Tass news reported.
He was just looking in his glove compartment for a pack of Murray Mints. When he accidentally shot himself in the back of the head.
The Kremlin should just copy Kim Leadbeater’s Assisted Dying Act. Make it all nice and legal.
One press report claims that time of death preceded announcement of sacking
killed himself *wink*wink*
Can we ask Putin to fire Rachel? I like his approach to reshuffles.
Putin’s latest Windows Update.
A mafia state. Pure and simple. And some lulus think Ukraine is just as bad, if not worse, and therefore the Russian invasion is not worth resisting – particularly when Putin is ‘conservative’, anti-faggot and anti-tranny and the West is sooo decadent. As though an imperialist mafia state like Russia would be satisfied with Ukraine. You have to laugh at their naivety…
@ Ottokring – can you still buy Murray Mints?
@john77
Reminds me of this joke…
Putin decreed that all time zones in Russia be unified. After this had occurred, the Prime Minister approached him.
“Sir, I had a problem. I called my relatives in the east to wish them good night, and they told me they were on the beach enjoying the sun.”
“And then I called my family in Kaliningrad to wish them a happy holiday, and they said the holiday was already over.”
“And then I called Xi Jinping to wish him a happy new year, and he said ‘what, it’s still the old year’.”
Putin nodded his head sympathetically, saying:
“I, too, have had these kinds of problems. I called Prigozhin’s family to offer them condolences, but it turned out his plane hadn’t even taken off yet.”
Interesting Twitter thread on the background and what likely happened.
Long story short, his partner in crime who was looking after the money fucked off with the money meaning the transport minister didn’t have the usual way out of paying back a reasonable proportion of what was embezzled.
