I'm not in the thread Gestapo but I'm surprised (it seems a little indelicate even for us) that Jews who survived the Holocaust should be posted in the thread called 'Nazi of SS'. 

Well, now that Putin wants to de-nazify Ukraine and their jewish president, everything is possible...

fair, but when I looked that seemed to be the place where a number of Holocaust survivor deaths were reported. I wasn't sure if Boris Romantschenko fit the "notable victims of the war" category, but he was definitely someone whose death should be reported so. 

 

wondering if a new "Holocaust survivor deaths" thread would be a better option in the long term

I've never understood that anyway.   Is it supposed to be 'Nazi or SS', or perhaps 'Nazi and SS' ?

Or perhaps it's a joke that I've missed.

There's this one, for survivors of different events:

i'd be very hesitant to believe that, because Russia's been saying they killed him once every couple of days. If the Ukrainians come out and confirm or his family does, sure. but as it stands this is just rinse and repeat Russian tactics. 

as I thought, Wali is alive and well

The Insider is an independent Russian news outlet that has exposed Russian governmental lies during several issues, including the Skripal and Navalny poisonings, and has worked with Bellingcat in the past. They currently operate out of Latvia IIRC due to Russian laws. 

 

Like with the other journalists, I fully expect the death of one of their own on the field will make it to all the obit-relevant papers, so thought I'd put it here as well.

Thank fuck. I wonder what his kill count is now.

Not to be a dick it seems like the people that are getting killed are only notable after their deaths; 
 

[Youth in Asia 1,088]

Perhaps he's the one getting all these generals and colonels

also update re: the generals kill list mentioned above. 4 major generals + 1 lt. general killed - 5 down. Russia was estimated to have sent 20 generals to Ukraine, so in just over 3 weeks, their death rate is a respectable 25%. based on the last few killed, 1 general is being killed every 3 or so days, so we'll probably get a new one soonish.

 

and, another one bites the dust...

 

well, this one is just heavily injured and rumored to have gone missing after reaching Belarus, but we'll take what we can get, I suppose. 

 

current generals KIA+WIA numbers - 6 down out of a rumored 23.

Holy shit, business just picked up!

Since it was created by Banshees, your guess is as good as Ken Dodd's dad's dog's.

I bring you a gift, another Russian general dead.

in more proof of how ineffective Russian tanks are, the guy seems to have survived being run over by a tank

[The Watcher 320]

This sounds as likely as Lord Lucan turning up & going paragliding at Beachy Head, J K Rowling having a cup of Earl Grey with Putin or the story earlier this year that an Indian couple aged 120 and 122 had celebrated their 100th wedding anniversary. This is called the 10K Diamond anniversary in one online list so obviously the names are beginning to run out after 80 (oak), 85 (wine) & 90 (granite) as no name is given for 95 which the Chands got close to a few years ago.

not a victim in the DL sense, but Abramovich poisoned by Russia along with several members of the Ukrainian delegation during peace talks

 

original report is from WSJ, but they're paywalled so we're stuck w/ Metro instead

Belgorod fuel depot reportedly struck by Ukrainian helicopters. First air raid by Ukrainian forces on Russian soil.

If you're inclined to believe the Express, a Russian soldier died of radiation poisoning after a bunch of them decided to dig trenches in Chernobyl. Not a great evolutionary loss, that one

War photographer Maks Levin/Max Levin, who had been missing for over 2 weeks, has been found dead. Reports indicated he was killed purposefully with two small arms to the chest, likely due to his occupation.
