Navalny likely killed by ‘one punch’ to the heart in classic KGB tactic, activist claims

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny may have been killed with a single punch to the heart, a “hallmark of the KGB,” according to a human rights activist claiming to have insider intel.

The Kremlin’s fiercest critic was found with bruising on his head and chest consistent with the “one-punch” technique, Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the human rights group Gulagu.net, told the Times of London, citing a source at the remote “Polar Wolf” penal colon where Navalny died Friday.

“It is an old method of the KGB’s special forces divisions,” Osechkin said, referring to the much-feared Soviet-era internal security service.

“They trained their operatives to kill a man with one punch in the heart, in the center of the body. It was a hallmark of the KGB.”
