Talk:Alexander Lebed

Old talk
I wouldn't say that "at the time of his death many people thought he would be the next President of Russia". After his resounding victory in the governor election in 1998 with 45% of votes he left by February 2002 with the support only 21% of all voters in Krasnoyarsk Krai and 43.9% of them intending to vote against. VolgaInform refers to All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (in Russian)

Certainly, the Khasavyurt agreements was the highest point of his career, while in office he appeared to be incompetent to govern the region, to negotiate with the local elite, and to appoint officials.


 * "General Alexander Lebed, the strongman who many had regarded as the most likely successor to president Boris Yeltsin. " true? Grey Fox (talk) 14:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * True. He was a very serious player (there is interesting info in "Death of dissident"). That is why he was probably killed.Biophys (talk) 21:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tin foil hat time. Have you seen the accident report? Anyway WP:FORUM --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 22:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This was just a reply to curious Grey Fox. I do not have time to source every murder at the post-Soviet space, especially when cover-ups were good. Among other prominent politicians who probably fell victims of Russian state security services are Anatoly Sobchak, Saparmurat Niyazov (he refused to sell gas on conditions from Moscow), Zhvania and Gamsakhurdia.

Lebed was a perfect hero but too prefect to fit not perfect Russia, is it?
