Watch their explanation change more than how they "explained" Sergei Magnitsky's death.
Heart attack... stomach rupture... fell on his head... suicide... Gallbladder infection... heart attack and stomach rupture... Bill Browder did it...
How will the Russian government change it's story?

They had dozens of explanations for the "mysterious" deaths of Russian political opponents and reporters in London that Putin authorized.
Suicides... revenge killings by people they'd blackmailed or stolen from... Accidents... Spurned lovers... The U.S. did it to frame Russia... Britain did it to frame Russia...
Multiple explanations for the same death!

And, they changed the why twice for each doctor.
It appears to be in the playbook.

What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: "Who is to blame?"
