The murderer was angry that she was trying to escape and casually shot her in the face multiple times because he knew that he has carte blanche to murder anyone who resists the regime. Also predictably, the regime gave a completely false version of events so the lie can be parroted endlessly by their cultists.
I didn’t want to know what it was like to live in Russia.
I suspect that depending on the era in Soviet history, guys like this would be held more accountable than we currently do for cops and feds. The Kremlin wouldn’t be okay with subordinates just willy-nilly murdering people, they gave orders on who to murder.
