the plane had crashed near Lake Baikal, killing all on board
про руководителей Республики Восточного Туркестана

In the 20th century, East Turkestan's Uyghur, Kyrgyz, Uzbek,
Mongol and Kazakh peoples fought for independence, while
China itself went through the transition from the Qing
Dynasty to the Kuomintang and then to the Communist rule
of Mao Zedong. In August 1949, East Turkestan
representatives including Qasimi boarded a plane in Almaty,
the capital of neighboring Kazakhstan. The plane was on its
way to Beijing. The representatives had been invited by Mao
Zedong to attend the All-China Conference that proclaimed
the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

The plane never arrived. Instead, it landed in Moscow. Ten
days later, the Soviet Union informed the Chinese
Government that the plane had crashed near Lake Baikal,
killing all on board. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in
1991 however, former KGB leaders revealed that Qasimi was
among five Uyghur leaders that had been kidnapped,
imprisoned and killed in Moscow on Stalin's orders, in
accordance with a deal between Stalin and Mao Zedong. The
truth isn't known, as both Mao and Stalin had the motive
and means to dispose of Qasimi. Writer James Millward
concludes that 'the answer may wait in an archive
somewhere'.

Human Dignity: Eleven Defenders of Human Rights at Close Range,
Arne Peter Braaksma

Википедия про эту историю подозрительно молчит,
но сообщает следующее:

In the People's Republic of China, Ehmetjan Qasimi is
remembered as a fighter in the struggle against the
Nationalist regime.[19] Among the Uyghurs and other Turkic
inhabitants of East Turkistan he is remembered as a
national hero, and fighter who gave his life defending the
independence of East Turkistan. His remains were returned
to China in April 1950 and later reburied in a memorial
cemetery in Yining.[19] The cemetery has a stele with
calligraphy by Mao Zedong, praising Qasimi and the others
who died with him for their contributions to the Chinese
civil war and mourning their death en route to the
Inaugural Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference in Beijing.

Очень китайское преступление, совершенно как
из всех этих сянся книжек, которые я все время читаю.
