Anti-Putin Russian Musician Dies in Frozen River
Who wudda thunk it?!!?
[quote]Svirgunov is one of the artists behind a popular synth-pop group called Cream Soda, which confirmed his death.... The group’s music was used by a comedian to make fun of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s billion-dollar mansion, dubbed “Putin’s Palace”.
[quote]Cream Soda, then, wrote a song called Aqua Disco about a room in the palace described as an “aquatic disco”, which became an anthem of anti-Putin protests. Svirgunov’s death comes as a string of critics of Putin’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine have been found dead.

Trump gnashes his teeth as he fumes over not being able to get away with punishing his own detractors this way.

Idk what to say about these countries with crazies at the helm. I keep hoping the people will rise up and get them out of there, but I can see why they don't too.

And millions can’t wait for this to happen here in the USA under our own strongman leader.

Putin is a murderous tyrant, not just an oligarch. He's the role model for several badguy leaders.

I feel sooooooo sorry for these random citizens who dare to challenge Putin. You have to be willing to die to defeat him, and that is truly fucked up. But THAT is why we should all vocally support Ukraine. Putin is a murdering thug who robs his own people of their right to free speech. What is he so fucking scared of anyway? If I wasn’t so afraid of him, I might declare him to be a pussy (no disrespect to pussy-owners).
We can’t invade Russia, it has to come from within their own country. But we sure as fuck cannot allow him to just invade a country or he will *never* stop, until he invades a NATO country. And then we officially are in WW3, with American soldiers dying. We must help Ukraine win, we have to throw everything we can at them, and it must be done ten times faster. The tanks Biden pledged are 18 months out — not acceptable.

A couple months ago during one of the major battles, I suddenly got this really awful sinking feeling about the band Little Big (if you don't know them, look them up). So I googled and literally the day before they had released an anti-war video and announced on their website that they had relocated from Russia to LA.
I was honestly very relieved. I'm hoping they'll tour the US finally.

Must be suicide like all those Russian critics of Putin during Covid, especially the doctors who kept jumping out of windows.
