Kirillov (Igor)

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces, was assassinated on December 17, 2024, in Moscow by a scooter bomb, reportedly orchestrated by Ukraine. Kirillov had been involved in disseminating claims about alleged Ukrainian biolaboratories. Russian propaganda under his leadership suggested bizarre theories, including weaponized mosquitoes carrying pathogens to harm Russian forces.The irony of a high-ranking military figure being killed by such an unassuming object (a scooter) made his death a meme sensation.
