Does anyone know if Putin had a reason to dislike him? I am no expert in Russian oligarchs. I thought “at least there’s no Russian-sourced poison this time” (aka Putin has gotten a bit smarter about murder) but it’s theoretically possible this was a non-political murder. ---

That was the first question or thought that popped into my head. It’s hard to imagine an oligarch of any magnitude being murdered without his tacit endorsement. ---

From the article: > [@](#): > > Vladimir Marugov and his partner were in an outdoor sauna cabin when they were attacked, reportedly by two masked assailants. > > The woman managed to escape through the window and call the police. That right there is why serious hitters don’t use crossbows. Too slow to reload. ---

I had a brief hope “Sausage King” was another nickname for “Putin’s Chef”, Yevegeny Prigozhin; the oligarch responsible for the troll farms that gave the 2016 election to Trump. ---

Gotta hand it to those Russians, what with “falling out of window”, poisoning, and now crossbow, they do have a certain flair. None of this pansy-ass “pop a cap in his ass” stuff we get up to in the US.
