Amazing coincidence on the evening Andrei Karlov was killed: Note the play Putin was going to watch

The Russian ambassador to Ankara, Andrei Karlov, was killed yesterday evening in a sordid assassination. Just before Karlov lost his life, Russian head of state Putin had set out to watch a play in Moscow.

From the account given by the Financial Times's Moscow correspondent Max Seddon in his social media account, there was a very curious twist to the play that Putin had set out to watch.

The author of the play that Putin intended to see was Alexander Griboyedov, Russia’s ambassador to Iran at the beginning of the 19^th century.

In 1829, at the time of a diplomatic crisis, a group of outraged Iranians stormed into the embassy and killed the Russian ambassador. Russian sources allege that British agents were behind the raid on the embassy.
