And in that story....
'In November, Col. Vadim Boiko, 44, deputy head of the Makarov Pacific Higher Naval School in Vladivostok, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in what has been described as a suicide. Boiko, who played a role in Putin’s partial mobilization efforts, “executed” himself with five gunshots to the chest in his commander’s office after allegedly being set up to take the fall for some of the problems plaguing the invasion of Ukraine, according to his widow.'
At this point, there is no point taking any prominent Russian suicide as fact when they are more than likely executions. It's become quite ridiculous claiming otherwise under the Putin regime.
