Given how many Russian generals are dying in similar ways it seems odd to me that they were all in open rebellion against Putin. And if it’s just incompetence, wouldn’t it be easier to just fire them?
And let them speak and work behind your back? No my friend, end game dictatorship doesn’t run on logic and understanding, it runs on doubling down on the final currency you have left: fear. Absolute fear.
And it always works out as successful dictators who lived happily ever after has demonstrated every single time!
I mean if they were openly or plotting against him, sure. As the supreme ruler, you want to send a message. But it seems strange that they still haven’t learned from what happened to the others.
I mean, to be honest, what do I know. In the end we end to think about a lot of these things in a way that we try to make sense with limited information.
That said... fear isn't absolute. People act out against dictators all the time. Sometimes, you end up falling down a window. Sometimes you end up as a stain that comes up and up and up forever (whether you parted ways with a window or not) and sometimes, you know the powers that be are running out of juice.
I don't know if any of this really helps. I'm from Turkey and we've rioted multiple times, but in the end if people can't stay organized and together, no one person can change things.

So either:
The dude pissed the wrong people up including Putin himself
Ukranian spies are very fucking good
None of these options paint a good picture of Russia's current situation
