| | Thirty-eight prominent Russians were victims of unsolved murders or suspicious deaths since the beginning of 2014, USA TODAY research reveals. The list of victims includes 10 high-profile critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, seven diplomats, six associates of Kremlin power brokers who had a falling out - often over corruption - and 13 military or political leaders involved in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Two are possibly connected to a dossier alleging connections between President Trump's campaign staff and Kremlin officials that was produced by a British spy and shared with the FBI. The list of fatalities - 37 men and one woman - suggests that alleged attacks on Putin's critics are more extensive and lethal than previously known. It raises new concerns about contacts Putin and his lieutenants had with Trump's campaign staff.
