According to law enforcement officials, on December 6, a car carrying the so-called "deputy of the LPR" and war criminal Oleg Popov exploded in Russian-occupied Luhansk.

Kremlin propaganda initially began to state that Popov was allegedly seriously wounded, but later recognized his death.

It was a completely legitimate goal, because before becoming a deputy, Popov managed many Russian charities, led illegal armed groups and killed Ukrainians, representatives of law enforcement agencies say.

It is noted that Popov headed the "Committee on State Security and Defense" in the so-called "LPR".

Undermining the leader is the best advertisement for the effectiveness of this committee's work, law enforcement officers noted.

Popov was born on April 16, 1972 in Luhansk. After graduating from vocational school, he worked as an electric and gas welder at the Luhansk Diesel Locomotive Plant. He worked as a freight forwarder and an economist at the Luhansk plant of mining rescue equipment "Horizont".

Until 2014, he was engaged in private entrepreneurship in producing children's and adult knitted products. Elected "deputy of the LRP People's Council" of the first and third convocations.

At the beginning of this year, propaganda media reported on an alleged possible assassination attempt on Popov, but the traitor survived.
