Assassinated

Despite having an extreme security apparatus around his person, the leader of Russia, has been found dead, presumably murdered, in his villa. The Russian capital is bustling with rumors, and it seems that a troika led by has assumed power temporarily at least. The new leader is however not very popular, so it remains to be seen if he manages to cling on to power if his position comes under threat. The NKVD is reportedly investigating in all directions, and Beriya has sworn to find those responsible for the killing.
