  So I think there's there's a few people in this world that if you
• 0:21
  want to live a long, just a long life, you don't go up against
• 0:27
  these people. Now, one of these people at the
• 0:30
  top of this list, I think would have to be Vladimir Putin.
• 0:36
  I don't see how you could go up against Vladimir Putin and
• 0:39
  expect to live. Check out the track record.
• 0:45
  Yeah, you haven't got much chance of living.
• 0:48
  Let's go through this article together.
• 0:50
  The mysterious deaths of Vladimir Putin's enemies and
• 0:53
  critics. Beautiful picture of here.
• 0:56
  The man himself, who looks like he belongs in a wax museum.
• 1:00
  So you had earlier this month, Obviously.
• 1:04
  The Russian mercenary chief Evgeny Progosian, supposedly so.
• 1:10
  He's the leader of the Wagner group, believed to have died in
• 1:14
  a plane crash. Mysteriously, mysteriously died
• 1:18
  in this plane crash. Russian mercenary chief.
• 1:21
  If Kenny Progosian believed to have been killed in the plane
• 1:24
  crash north of Moscow on Wednesday evening, it's not
• 1:28
  being confirmed dead, but he was on the plane's passenger list.
• 1:32
  Russian authorities said there was no survivors.
• 1:35
  Obviously, he's not the first of Putin's enemies to suffer
• 1:39
  mysterious or near death. Experience Russia.
• 1:44
  I've also denied any involvements.
• 1:47
  Course that. Why?
• 1:48
  Why? Why would they?
• 1:50
  OK, so you've got another. He's just the one.
• 1:54
  He's the latest one. One of the Putin's enemies
• 1:58
  mysteriously dies. Allegedly.
• 2:00
  He must still be alive. Might all be faked.
• 2:02
  Alexei Navalny. He was poisoned in Siberia.
• 2:06
  He was Russia's most prominent opposition leader.
• 2:09
  Very dangerous role if you're in Russia.
• 2:11
  Alexei Navalny was flown to Germany in August 2020 for
• 2:14
  medical treatment after being poisoned in Siberia.
• 2:17
  With what Western experts conclude was the military nerve
• 2:21
  agent Novichok. Russia denied any involvement.
• 2:27
  Of course. Of course they have.
• 2:28
  So then you had Sergioi scribbles.
• 2:33
  OK, Sergio Scribble. He was always see.
• 2:37
  He was allegedly poisoned with Novichok as well.
• 2:40
  So he was a former Russian double agent who passed secrets.
• 2:44
  To British intelligence, Sergei Scribble and his daughter Yulia
• 2:48
  were found unconscious on a bench outside the shopping
• 2:51
  center in the English Cathedral City of Salisbury in March 2018.
• 2:56
  In England. They were taken to hospital in
• 2:59
  critical condition. British officials said they had
• 3:01
  been poisoned, like Navalny with Novichok, a group of nerve
• 3:06
  agents developed by the Soviet military in the 70s and 80s.
• 3:12
  So scruple and his daughter survived.
• 3:14
  Russia denied any role in the in the poisoning and said Britain
• 3:20
  was whipping up anti Russian hysteria.
• 3:22
  OK, next one. Paval Antov, his hotel death, so
• 3:27
  Russian politician and millionaire.
• 3:30
  Paval Antov had been critical of Putin's war with Ukraine.
• 3:34
  So June 2022, Russian media published a WhatsApp message
• 3:38
  attributed to Antov, Etcetera, Ukraine missile environment
• 3:42
  bombardment on Ukraine was terrorism.
• 3:45
  Antov took to the Russian social media network VK to deny writing
• 3:50
  the message, insisting that. Supporting He supported Russia's
• 3:55
  special military operation in Ukraine.
• 3:59
  So in December of 2022, he died after reportedly falling from a
• 4:04
  hotel room in India. Of course, it's not the fall
• 4:07
  that killed him. It was that sudden stop at the
• 4:09
  bottom. The 65 year old's body was found
• 4:13
  in a pool of blood outside his lodgings in the eastern state of
• 4:17
  Odisha, where he's he was on holiday with three other Russian
• 4:20
  nationals. His death came two days after
• 4:24
  another member of the of the travel party, Vladimir Bidenov,
• 4:28
  was found unconscious after suffering an apparent heart
• 4:30
  attack. OK, so in September 2022, Reveal
• 4:35
  Maganov, chairman of oil company Look Oil, died after falling
• 4:41
  from a hospital window in Moscow.
• 4:44
  Again, he he fell from the hospital window after he was
• 4:49
  pushed out. By a couple of Russian army
• 4:54
  gentlemen, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters,
• 5:00
  confirming reports by several Russian media.
• 5:03
  But circumstances surrounding his fall were unclear.
• 5:06
  It's just the fall. Like I said, it's not the fall
• 5:08
  that kills you at that sudden stop at the bottom.
• 5:11
  Russian state news agency TASS reported the death as a suicide.
• 5:15
  Citing a law enforcement source, in a statement, the company said
• 5:18
  he died following a severe illness.
• 5:21
  OK, next one. The Polish plane crash in 2010.
• 5:25
  Poland's President Lek OK here, I don't even know it, pronounces
• 5:30
  Keknitsky OK And 95 others were killed in the plane crash in
• 5:35
  Russia. Polish officials said the crash
• 5:38
  was a political assassination orchestrated by the Kremlin.
• 5:41
  Russia again. Obviously, they denied the
• 5:43
  allegations. 2022 a Polish government Commission released a
• 5:47
  report alleged alleging an intentional detonation of
• 5:51
  planted explosives caused the crash.
• 5:54
  Where then you have the poisoning of Alexander
• 5:59
  Litvinenko. So he was an ex KGB agent,
• 6:04
  outspoken critic of Putin. There you go.
• 6:07
  It's his first final mistake, I suppose.
• 6:09
  Died in 2006, age 43, after drinking green tea.
• 6:14
  They love their poisoning, laced with polonium 20, Polonium 210,
• 6:21
  a rare and potent radioactive isotope, at London's Millennial
• 6:25
  Hotel. British officials have said
• 6:28
  Putin probably approved the killing.
• 6:30
  A British inquiry concluded 2016.
• 6:33
  The Kremlin again they denied involvement.
• 6:36
  Love to poison. I remember actually.
• 6:38
  I remember seeing footage of this when he was.
• 6:41
  Yeah, he was fading away, this ex KGB agent.
• 6:45
  Very, very devastating. It's funny how a few of these
• 6:48
  ones have happened in in Britain, isn't it?
• 6:51
  So an inquiry led by a senior British judge found that former
• 6:56
  KGB bodyguard Andre pronounce it in.
• 6:59
  Another Russian, Dmitri, carried out the killing as part of
• 7:03
  operation that he said was probably directed by.
• 7:07
  Russia's Federal Security Service, the FSB and main
• 7:11
  successor to the Soviet era KGB. Then you have this whistleblower
• 7:19
  who was killed while Alexander. How do you pronounce that parapi
• 7:24
  parapilichny was found dead near her luxury home in an exclusive
• 7:29
  gated estate outside London after he had been out jogging in
• 7:33
  November 2012. The 44 year old.
• 7:37
  Russians sought refuge in Britain in 2009 after helping a
• 7:41
  Swiss investigation into a Russian money laundering scheme.
• 7:45
  His sudden death raise suggestions he might have been
• 7:47
  murdered. British police ruled out foul
• 7:51
  play. How many of these deaths have
• 7:53
  happened in Britain? The British police.
• 7:56
  They've ruled out foul play despite suspicions he may have
• 7:59
  been murdered by with a rare poison, a pre.
• 8:03
  Inquest hearing heard that traces of a rare and deadly
• 8:06
  poison from the What's that? Galsemine Galsemium plant were
• 8:12
  found in his stomach. But the British had already
• 8:16
  ruled out foul play, so he apparently enjoyed a large bowl
• 8:20
  of soup containing sorrel, which is a popular Russian dish.
• 8:25
  Russia again denied involvement. Then you had this journalist,
• 8:29
  Anna Politkovskaya. Making a butchery mess out of
• 8:35
  these names, aren't I? She was shot dead outside of
• 8:39
  flat in Moscow to in 2006 after returning home from the
• 8:43
  supermarket. She was a journalist who
• 8:45
  reported on human rights abuses and was critical of Vladimir
• 8:48
  Putin. Her assassination took place on
• 8:51
  Putin's birthday. It was like a birthday present
• 8:54
  present for Putin. The her murder provoked an
• 8:57
  outcry in the West and underlying concerns about the
• 9:00
  dangers. Reporters working in Russia
• 9:03
  faced however, British sources said that there was no signs of
• 9:09
  foul play. I'm joking, Crikey.
• 9:14
  Well, a couple things you want to learn, you learn from this
• 9:16
  report is 1 Britain's If you've made an enemy in Russia,
• 9:21
  Britain's not the place to go if you want to actually live.
• 9:25
  And most importantly, don't make Vladimir Putin your enemy.
• 9:30
  The other two people who all would stickley of making my
• 9:33
  enemy is Hillary and Bill Clinton.
• 9:37
  Their death list. Well, the people who are being
• 9:40
  found dead on their list of friends, supposed friends or
• 9:44
  associates, acquaintances, makes Vladimir Putin's list.
• 9:48
  Look, time and Vladimir Putin, if you're his enemy, if you are
• 9:54
  have anything to do with speaking out against him.
• 9:57
  You're just very likely to end up dead.
• 10:00
  Yeah. But hey, that's just my opinion.
• 10:04
  Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening to the
• 10:06
  slippery slope. They just feel
