A Russian mafia boss was gunned down by a hooded assassin at a party celebrating his release from prison just days before.

 

Alexander Zhestokov was shot in the back at point blank range while drinking at a bar with friends in central Russia's Kemerovo Oblast region.

 

According to local media, Zhestokov, 39, was one of the leaders of the Zapsibovskie gang, considered one of the most dangerous in the Kemerovo Oblast region. The gangster was released from prison several days prior to the attack.

You just have to love how these Russians react.

  Very little panic panic no running for the door. Just look at the body and scratch their heads.

  These guys are as hard as nails.

  I also like the way he was done in not fancy just get the job done style. 

  It is like "You live by the gun you die by gun" full acceptance.

Not the first time someone has been waiting for a criminal to be released before bumping them off ! Like to know where he got the smokeless powder for the firearm from more like Black powder anyway a great device to make an escape with a smoke screen !

I think the caped crusader was expecting it, raised a phone to his ear and said 'job done'

Methinks he made enemies......

You have a good eye. I think you are right also.

This sounds like the post of a fanboy

If the lead didn't do him in, he could have died from smoke inhalation. Was the gunman using black powder?

the caped crusader and his boyfriend seems a little confused

Most likely a well cleaned/oiled pistol with suppressor. The smoke is most likely from the oil heating up.

Commonly described as "shocked disbelief".

 

Which you have mistaken for "cool".

Could have been that whilst he was in jail , his gang got on just fine without him and didnt want him coming back ?

  Inside job ?

Very suss! I think he might have known? A gold cloak in a bar?

[BuaBS]

Looks like he used a silencer , that's why the other folks were not shocked ? I count 4 to 5 shots .

[oldrunner]

He was much better off in the can, too bad, no next time.

Suppressor. ? 

 

If it was sub-sonic ammo, I bet the music in the bar would have been louder than the shots.

[Stargeezr]

The guy did not have many supporters, as it appears that the shooter got away as well.
