As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.
No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.
A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.
I’m just now making the connection that the overtly fascist “shock doctrine” is directly tied to the neoliberal “shock therapy” (kind of like how “third way liberalism” and “third position fascism” have the same definition)
When you look at what happened to Chile, you come to realize that neoclassical / neoliberal / Chicago School economics and neocolonialism are very closely related.
IMO, neoclassical economics is a wildly successful psyop, such that it has become hegemonic in all capitalist countries. It’s an absolute garbage theory and yet is canon at every university, outside of perhaps China and the few other socialist states. Marxist economist Michael Hudson has helped me unlearn a lot of junk economics.
I unlearned junk economics through youtube and memes 😂
Radhika Desai & Michael Hudson’s Geopolitical Economy Hour YouTube series is excellent.
