Russian "trace" revealed in Belarusian missing politicians' case

The "death squadron" which liquidated Aliaksandr Lukashenka's opponents in 1999-200 consisted of Russian agents under the leadership of the federal security service (FSB) General Ushakov.
Chisinau publication "Jurnal de Chisinau" has made such a sensational guess. According to Belarusian Partisan, it happened after Moldova had declassified its former President Vladimir Voronin's decrees. He awarded  Russian federal security service Generals Patrushev, Lebedev and Ushakov. 
 
"Jurnal de Chisinau" reminded that General Ushakov used to head a group which was supposed to kill the leaders of the Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic Igor Smirnov and Grigori Marakutsa in Tiraspol. 

Journalist Sviatlana Kalinkina states in "Narodnaya Volya" that Ushakov's name already appeared in the Belarusian media in connection with the FSB's activization at the territory of Belarus.
 
However, his name was mentioned with regard not to the missing politicians, but to the presidential election-2001 and anonymous prognosis of Moscow analysts on how Lukashenka could be deprived of power, published in some independent Belarusian media.
