It was one of the first things I wondered about, recalling Khrushchev's coup against his comrades and Stalin's funeral. There do not seem to have been any. The Kremlin has denied everything. He is not dead, he is not sick, he is not away with his mistress who is having his love child (really, that could have been arranged slightly more quietly). So we are left with rumours.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799545178433498944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-2870926933614552132015-03-15T12:37:25.801+00:002015-03-15T12:37:25.801+00:00Not related to that particular film but something ...Not related to that particular film but something interesting seems to be happening at the Kremlin at the moment. <br /><br />DEBKAfile (not exactly the most reliable source) reported that Putin had died three days back. Then the Kremlin denied it... so on that basis it MIGHT BE TRUE!!! Of course it's just as possible that he's come down with a case of man-flu and is taking a few days off.<br /><br />At the moment they're building something (a stage maybe?) in front of the Kremlin and apparently they're going to be making some sort of announcement soon. Also military units have apparently been deployed in Moscow, though without knowing what is normal for military units in Moscow I have no idea if that means anything.<br /><br />Of course some wags have suggested a simpler alternative explanation; Apparently Putin is stuck in an underground elevator and the equipment is needed to get him out! :)<br /><br />Oh well, interesting times.AKMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-38452036581299011532015-03-14T19:27:11.913+00:002015-03-14T19:27:11.913+00:00Talking about getting rid of a theme
