A TOP Russian propagandist who was once accused of treason by Ukraine has mysteriously died in Moscow.
Kirill Vyshinsky, 58, is the latest to join a string of “mysterious” deaths among Russia’s elite.
Vyshinsky was the executive director of the Russia Today state media empire.
He was born in Ukraine and was a native of Dnipro.
In 2018, he was detained in Kyiv on charges of high treason for working for Russian propaganda.
A year later, Vyshinsky renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and was transferred to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange.
Russian state media outlets today said Vyshinsky had died after a “lengthy” or “serious” illness.
However, there were no previous reports that the Russian media mogul was ill.
After returning to Moscow, he continued his propaganda activities and became a public supporter of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
He described the goal of the war as “demilitarisation and denazification” of Ukraine.
Vyshinsky also became executive director of Russia Today and chief editor of Sputnik radio.
The propagandist was on Putin’s so-called “human rights council” and publicly represented the tyrant in the last presidential election.
This is the latest in dozens of mysterious deaths of leading figures in Russia since shortly before the start of the war against Ukraine.
There are notable cases of prominent Russians plunging from windows or balconies.
