Soviet Dissident Murdered by Maniac
A Hillsboro, Virginia resident, who was a famous Soviet dissident, was murdered in cold blood at a rest stop in New Jersey by Brian White (pictured). Mikhail Makarenko was jailed in the Soviet gulags for almost ten years because he secretly exhibited paintings by Russian artists- paintings that were not sanctioned by the Communist State. Whether he managed to defect or if he was exhiled remains unclear to me. But he was settled in Hillsboro, the beautiful rolling mountains of Northern Virginia, west of Washington DC. Many former Soviet spies and dissidents were settled in the region during and after the Cold War.
Mikhail was beaten to death with a rock by a madman and self-proclaimed prophet, who was angry because Mikhail did not want to buy his Christian Hip Hop CD.
From NBC4 here:
A Texas man faces murder charges for beating a Virginia man to death at a New Jersey Turnpike rest stop in Mount Laurel, N.J. Thursday’s attack occurred after the 75-year-old victim declined an offer to buy religious CDs from 26-year-old Brian White.
Michail Makarenko, a resident of Hillsboro in Loudoun County, Va., who was headed to New York, declined to buy a CD. White picked up a rock and started striking him in the head, then drove off toward New York City.
A witness followed White out of the rest stop and gave a description of his vehicle to authorities.
Makarenko had lived in the United States since 1979 after being exiled by the Soviet Union for dissident activities.
Brian White called himself “DJ Coldblooded.” And according to his myspace page, he was having visions from God and believed that he was a prophet. From his MySpace page here:
My real name is Brian Kuo Catrelle White and my Album which I believe will be part of The next century Bible is called the Book of Brian. The Book contains ? Chapters and in them is True Secrets straight from God. Aliens are among us, the secret scrolls is real, We have a secret city the Gov has made, and the cloning of men is now and real. God is very angry with us, and he will soon change his face. God is real, and you Presidents and so called Men of God should tell the people the Truth so that they will be saved. You all know what Aliens, Scrolls, and the Secret City I am talking about and you need to Free peoples minds so they can stop believing our God is not Merciful. The thing I can’t stand most is when God gives me a message for someone and the “worldly” person accepts it and even says thanks, the “christian” tries to test me and then give me their oppinion. I dont go around trying to ruin peoples life, I just obey God.
