Andrei “Murz” Morozov is reported to have shot himself.

Russian occupier who had been fighting against Ukraine since 2014. Was known for not trying to hide problems in the Russian army and publicly highlighting them. He committed suicide after his command demanded that he delete a post about huge irrecoverable losses near Avdeevka. I hardly followed him as he was out of my responsibility, but I can say a word or two about his early background. The man couldn’t find himself in life and was constantly hanging out playing Panzer Commander and other wargames. Despite the ability to look soberly at a particular situation, globally “Murz” always lived in a kind of fictional world, largely inspired by the worlds of the Strugatsky brothers, on whose books he grew up. He was one of the few ideological: he was not interested in money or fame. Such are the most dangerous - fanatics. It is very symbolic that he shot himself just when the system feels triumphant, seizing Ukrainian cities and physically destroying the opposition. He realised that he was no longer needed with his truth-telling, that he was all alone and if he did not kill himself, his own people would kill him and do it in a more painful, horrible and mocking way. For Ukraine this is good news - a dangerous enemy has voluntarily passed away. For the Russian system, it’s another signal of what else will overwhelm them when the rotten system that relies only on countless masses collides forehead to forehead with the aftershock. “We don’t need the smart ones. We need the right ones.”
