Boris Nadezhdin told the wives of Russia's mobilized soldiers the war was “a big mistake by Putin, of course, and the consequences will be very grave.”

A politician bidding to run against Vladimir Putin in Russia’s upcoming presidential election described the decision to go to war in Ukraine as a “big mistake” in comments to the wives of soldiers on Thursday.

Boris Nadezhdin, representing a centre-right party called Civic Initiative that has no seats in parliament, is seeking to gather the necessary 100,000 signatures from people across Russia to enable him to stand against Putin.

Nadezhdin, 60, told the soldiers’ wives that the war, which the Kremlin calls a “special military operation”, was “a big mistake by Putin, of course, and the consequences will be very grave.”

So he's got like what, 48 hours before a tragic slip and fall?

It will come as a complete surprise when we hear that he committed suicide by four self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.

Oh it's totally normal for someone to shoot themselves15 times with a gun that holds 11 bullets. They probably reloaded halfway through.

Russian people so strong they survive many gunshot wound, is normal

No no no no, first he will shoot himself in the back of the head, then fall down several flights of stairs, then shoot himself in the back of the head again, then he will fall out of the building. A message needs to be sent: you cannot be too careful what you say when you run against Putin.

While choking on his totally normal dinner of polonium-210 and novichok.
