A leading Putin propagandist has become the latest mysterious high-profile death in Russia.
Kirill Vyshinsky, executive director of the Russia Today state media empire and earlier a Putin collaborator in Ukraine, died in Moscow today at the age of 58.
In 2018, as a then Ukrainian citizen, he was detained in Kyiv on charges of high treason for working for Russian propaganda.
He spent about a year in a detention centre before being handed over to Moscow as part of a prisoner exchange in 2019.
Russian state media outlets today said Vyshinsky had died after a 'lengthy' or 'serious' illness.
