This is the same shit that's been happening in Russia for the past 100 years. If you oppose the ruling party, especially publicly, you're toast.

Yeah. On the other hand obvious is much more intimidating. It wouldn't be the first time intimidation trumps subtlety for the Kremlin. It's been the MO of many of their governments and Putins as well for example polonium tea.
