      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’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 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.

        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.

      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.

      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 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.

    Just to complete story:

    1. He was working at Department for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption, DCECaC(УБЭПиК) for short. Basically financial police.
    2. He was killed by bomb dropped from drone, not by kamikaze drone. 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.

    Meanwhile, in Belarus, Lukashenko is reconsidering his career aspirations. Maybe being Colonel in Polish army would be safer.

    When is Ukraine going to release the video of this one.

    Assuming it was Ukraine that did it.
