The leader of an anti-Putin group, heavily funded by George Soros, has been found dead at her home in Paris, France.
31-year-old Oksana Shachko was the co-founder of Femen – an ultra feminist group behind the violent anti-Putin riots across Russia.

According to reports, Shachko died at her home on July 23rd in an apparent suicide, although police have yet to confirm the cause of death.
Thelocal.fr reports: “It is with great regret and deep pain that I must confirm the death of Oksana,” said Inna Shevchenko, one of Femen’s leaders, who also lives in the French capital.
Another Femen founder, Anna Gutsol, wrote on Facebook: “RIP. The most fearless and vulnerable Oksana Shachko has left us.
“We mourn together with her relatives and friends,” she said, adding that the group was awaiting “the official version from the police”.
Shachko was one of four feminist activists who founded Femen in Ukraine in 2008.
Exiled in France since 2013, she had since left the group and was working as an artist.
Operating under the slogan “I came, I stripped, I won,” Femen quickly drew attention around the world with its bare-breasted protests against sexism.
Their protests eventually started targeting authoritarianism and racism, with Russia’s Vladimir Putin a particular target, alongside France’s far-right National Front party.
But in recent years the group has struggled with internal divisions as well as legal proceedings against its members.
In 2011, Femen said Shachko was among three members “kidnapped” by security agents and forced to strip naked in a forest after staging a topless protest mocking Belarussian strongman Alexander Lukashenko.
The agents had poured oil over the three women, threatened to set them on fire, and cut off their hair, Femen said.
She was abducted again by unknown assailants during a visit by Putin to Ukraine, according to the group.
Femen’s lawyer said Shachko was beaten so badly that she was briefly hospitalised.

perversity is their plaything .Always the same .
i wish Soros was the one found dead
Nobody will shed a tear for this ‘former’ activist turned artist….says it all really
A strip artist, a former Anti-Lukashenko activist, but certainly not an “anti-Putin” activist or a “leader” of any current repute in this Soros-inspired propaganda title.
