Russian artist and Putin critic shot dead in Poland
Polish prosecutors said Robert K, known as the artist Semyon Skrepetsky, was shot dead on Monday morning in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska, about 40km (25 miles) from the Belarusian border.
The 44-year-old was shot five times in the head, chest and back in a car park in the city, located about 600m from the Belarusian consulate.
Semyon Skrepetsky was the pseudonym used by Robert Kuzovkov. He was known for his caricatures of politicians, including Putin, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
...
Police detained two Belarusian citizens, aged 33 and 37, near the Belarusian consulate in the city. Their role in the incident was still being determined, Kozak said.

It's cold-blooded execution of critics that makes Putin the most evil person in the world today. Well, that, plus starting a war that's killed hundreds of thousands.
