The worst? Probably murder.

You're probably mixing that up with jumping out of the window.
More likely one shooting oneself in the back, assisted by a Russian agent.
Nah. Polonium BBs being injected into your calf. They’re so much more fun.

You can’t prove murder. Mozilla employees simply enjoy swimming while duct taped to lawn chairs.
I absolutely hate what Putin and his goons are doing to Ukraine and Russia.

Having said that the list contains many names of people who would be hunted and killed by any government. Imagine Apache starting revolt, murdering civilians, keeping / trading slaves, cutting heads etc. etc. Whoever the author of the article is - they did a shitty job.

This list is a big disservice to true victims of Putin, like Navalny and the likes.

    The Apache tribes fought the invading Spanish and Mexican peoples for centuries.

   The first Apache raids on Sonora appear to have taken place during the late 17th century. In 19th-century confrontations during the American Indian Wars, the U.S. Army found the Apache to be fierce warriors and skillful strategists.
OK, I'm imagining people defending their homelands against invaders.

I am talking about now. In the end Indians were conquered with all the consequences. If they wake up now and start the war for independence it will be exactly the same situation as with Chechnya with exactly the same results.

Chechnya was pacified with regular significant money transfers to the strongman at the head. Indians, hmm...
