I skipped over it because it wasn't really relevant to my point. Though it's certainly not impossible that Trump had him killed. I wouldn't put anything past him and his cronies. Still, the part that I'm mainly interested in is how the regime is using this death; turning him into a martyr and a saint, having an enormous state memorial for him, and using his death as a justification to crush Trump's perceived political enemies.

It's a fascinating subject, and it's been decades since I learned about it in a college class on Soviet history. The parallels just felt really eerie.
