Igor Laptev FSB general

Russia has a recurring pattern where well-connected men shoot themselves at home. Igor Laptev, a retired FSB general, was discovered dead in his Moscow residence with a gunshot wound to the head. He was not an outsider. His company manufactured communications equipment for the Defense Ministry and other state agencies, meaning he was embedded within Russia's security infrastructure. Russian media recorded the death as a suicide and moved on. Authorities have not confirmed any details or provided updates on an investigation. This fits a known cycle. Influential Russians continue to be found dead in their homes, and cases are closed before anyone can ask serious questions. Source: Euromaidan press / Writer: Daniyal
