   Contrary to an official denial on Moscow’s behalf, leaked documents   
   aired by Al Arabiya suggest that a Russian military general who worked   
   as a military advisor to the Syrian regime was indeed killed by   
   opposition forces on Aug.   
      
   Maj. Gen. Vladimir Kojève was reportedly killed when opposition Free   
   Syrian Army raided his car. Following his death, a number of documents   
   were obtained from his personal briefcase which was found inside his   
   vehicle.   
      
   These documents were eventually leaked among others to Al Arabiya from   
   opposition sources.   
      
   The channel said that it has verified and authenticated hundreds of   
   these documents and that it has decided to disclose ones with   
   substantial news value and political relevance.   
      
   One of the documents found inside the briefcase was an ID card with   
   Kojève’s name and birth-date (1956). The ID card, which was issued by   
   the Syrian authorities on June 26, 2007, gave him full access to all   
   Syrian security institutions.   
      
   Another document that was found in the briefcase included Kojève’s   
   request for approval to go on vacation to Moscow for a period between   
   Dec. 10, 2011 and Jan. 14, 2012. Kojève indicated that his request was   
   in “accordance with the terms of the contract special to Russian   
   military advisors in Syria.”   
      
   The request was addressed to then Army Chief of Staff Fahad Jassim   
   al-Frei, who is now serving as Assad’s defense minister.   
      
   The documents leaked to Al Arabiya also included a picture of Kojève's   
   Mazda Zoom car with tinted glasses; along with a special permission from   
   the interior ministry permission for him to tint his car for ‘safety   
   reasons’.   
      
   Kojève car was ambushed in the Damascus suburb of al-Ghouta and he was   
   killed with three of his companions according to opposition sources.   
      
   Following the ambush Syrian air force helicopters raided the area and   
   clashed with the opposition Ousama Ib Zeid opposition Brigade. During   
   the clashes, regime forces were able to recover the body of Kojève. A   
   video provided to Al Arabiya showed the bodies of what the opposition   
   said were Kojève’s aides.   
      
   In Aug. 8, the Russian embassy in Syria denied reports that any of its   
   military officials were killed in Syria. In Moscow, a man named Vladimir   
   Kojève denied , in statements to Russian News Agency (Interfax) reports   
   that he was killed by the Free Syrian Army.   
      
   A Russian military source said Gen. Kojève used to work as counselor for   
   the Syrian Defense Ministry before he retired. “I want to confirm that I   
   am well and I live in Moscow. Everything is fine. These lies are   
   horrible and as a General I think these rumors do not target me as a   
   person but my country as well.”
