Former Russian politician Sergei Vlasenko has been found dead in his apartment in the Polish capital, Warsaw. He was associated with the Russian opposition organization known as the "Congress of People's Deputies."
Details about the cause of death and the exact circumstances under which he was discovered have not yet been made public. It is also unclear how long he had been living in Poland or what role he held within the organization.
The case is drawing attention because, in recent years, several critics and opposition figures of the Russian regime living abroad have died under unclear or suspicious circumstances. This has led media and the public to follow such cases with heightened caution, although no information about violence or a criminal act has been reported in this particular case.
