Igor Malashenko, Co-Founder of Russias NTV, Reported Dead in Spainhttps://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/02/25/igor-malashenko-co-founder-of-russias-ntv-reported-dead-in-spain-a64619
The renowned Russian media executive and political consultant Igor Malashenko has died in Spain at the age of 64, the Kommersant business daily reported on Monday.
Some Russian media reported the death as having been a suicide, citing sources close to Malashenko. No official sources have yet confirmed the reports.
Malashenko was the co-founder and president of NTV, an independent television channel founded by a group of leading journalists, before joining Boris Yeltsin's campaign team to engineer his presidential victory in 1996. He went on to lead a number of Russian media projects, including the RTVI online television channel and, more recently in 2018, he headed Ksenia Sobchaks presidential campaign.

Would not be surprised, since the republicans disdain American democracy and truth, and apparently embrace all things russian.

Their suicide may be planned for them if they say something that gets in Putin's way.
Heck, I am sure Donny paid attention.

That criminal in our White House brags about his power to destroy those who oppose him.
My priority and I hope that of all Americans is to remove that pretender from the WH in 2020. My only worry is that with so many Democrats running, we may spend time on the primary that could be better directed toward the enemies of state. Worry is a constant condition for me since that monster took over the airwaves.
