A Russian Lamarque? Obviously he will have seen himself as a 'dead man walking'. If he had any hand in his own demise, he will have been thinking about strategic times to do so. Not just the 'Lamarque' aspect, but maybe also a time to bolster support from Ukrainian allies that are hedging. Some pro...
