By Ukraine or Russia?
Actually a legit question.
No it’zz not.
It is, tho.

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.
I’d be willing to bet that their anti-corruption police are just as corrupt as their normal police.
I like to think he was killed for shaking down the normal police for bribes to cover their corruption.
I’d like to think he was killed for planting the marigolds next to the petunias.
Oh no, not again!
That fucking monster!
Well they are trying to free Ukraine from nazis with nazis,… so it’s kind of their m.o.
Corruption = anti-Putin
No, corruption = Putin.
And you are correct.
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.
Well there’s corruption that flows to you, but corruption that doesn’t flow to you? You better believe that’s a paddlin’.
I would say it wasn’t a paddlin’, more like an explodin’.
An explodlin’
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.
No, they are making sure that corruption is done correctly.
No, they are for checked box. FSB and GRU does all getting rid of.
But since everyone is corrupt in Russia, anti-corruption means you can go after whoever you want to get out of the way.
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
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.
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.
Yes.
Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police
Who knows but he probably had many enemies in his own team.
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.
The Spanish Inquisition
Well I guess nobody expected that.
I hope he had just started mowing, man that would suck to mow for an while then get vaporized.
I don’t know, a lawn with just a small portion mowed and the rest standing tall? That shit would haunt me in my own afterlife.
The knife missile could take care of both problems at once.

Here’s how I picture it. Half way through in the middle of the row with a 1 to 2 root crater marking the transition between the neat grass and the unmowed grass

Uhh, it was financial police, not military or regular police. Basically office worker, that poorly does own job(considering scale of corruption in Russia).
I bet you used to call arabs towel heads. Im just an orc to you. Oh wait no Im ukrainian. That means im a special boy.

I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.
I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.
Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.
Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.
Aww, are you jealous of the Ukrainians who are being invaded by your country?
Kbin showing a fucking Manga as preview is just hillarious lol
WTF is up with the random preview images anyway?
It’s a bug that I saw described in detail at some point. Under a specific set of circumstances (I don’t know what those are) it shows the thumbnail from some other submitted link.
I… don’t suppose you have a screenshot? Lol
That’s …. Beautiful.
Anyone know what that those cells are from?
Hirayasumi. Very good and heartwarming manga
Maybe a hash collision or something
I’m getting a lemmy vs Reddit meme shitpost on artemis.camp
LMAO, it’s true.
Just to complete story:
- He was working at Department for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption, DCECaC(УБЭПиК) for short. Basically financial police.
- He was killed by bomb dropped from drone, not by kamikaze drone. It doesn’t look like what Ukrainians would do.
It doesn’t look like what Ukrainians would do.
I’ve watched tons of grenade drops from drones on the old site. What about this seems like not something Ukraine would do?
Because they drop grenades on their territory and use kamikaze drones on Russia. And again, financial police? They could spend grenade much better.
Yeah, this definitely sounds more like “it would be a shame if…” than an actual attack.
I see the KGB stopped trying to be subtle about it
Pretty sure this was Ukraine. Hard to keep track, it’s dangerous to work for Putin
I’m guessing Ukraine or Putin doing it to make it look like Ukraine.
Yeah probably Ukraine though, he’s a legitimate military target within their operational range and currently was not on putins shit list
Ukraine cares about financial police less than about regular.

Popups suck. You should get firefox and ublock origin if you are on mobile. Otherwise, just get an adblocker if you are on desktop.
I’m genuinely impressed, even with no advert blockers, I haven’t seen a popup in, oh, over a decade now.
Browsers block popups by default these days unless you specifically authorise them for a particular website, I suspect that’s why.
Thank you. I am a new Proton VPN with ad blocker user and it’s nice to know that it is working!
Every time I read an article with large pockets of whitespace, I wonder how anyone can browse the web without ad blockers.
I’m haven’t seen any whitespaces so I guess ublock origin does a good job of removing white spaces along with the ads

TBH, I thought this was an Onion headline at first.
Site shows a 404 with a large video ad for a money laundering scam?
Fixed it.
Could you try fixing it to a link that isn’t to a tabloid shitrag? 😂
Works, thanks!
Dead link for me.
In soviet Russia drone mows you - down
Not the onion
Meanwhile, in Belarus, Lukashenko is reconsidering his career aspirations. Maybe being Colonel in Polish army would be safer.
Edit: wrong word fixed (bring -> being)
Two can play the plausible deniability game.
Dudes house was a 1000 feet away from the border?
Fucking ballsy to just be hanging out 300 yards from the border of a country you’re at war with like, “This lawn ain’t gonna mow itself!”
You can do it. We can help. Home Depot
You misspelled Home Despot.
Ya missed the pun of Drone Depot.
It was waiting for you, m’lord.
