Did they succeed anywhere else?

Because these things don't need to be "believed" or not. If people are murdered (especially at the scale you indicate), there have to be reports on that. Of course *you* are an expert when it comes to living in Crimera. OTOH, I have a couple of colleagues from Russia, and around here there are quite close connections to places in Ukraine. None of us has the full picture.
