    Getting some real "Kim Jong-un has died and will be replaced by his sister who is Satan in disguise" vibes here. Will believe it when I see something official from Russia.

      Aw, and I was looking forward to getting sacrificed to Daddy Lenin to maintain the Redway. Will I get to serve the intergalactic union some other way?

    He's served his purpose for the rich elite in Russia. 110 individuals own over 40% of all wealth in that country. He did his job making them richer while US media kept painting him out as this Bond villain and like some genius interfering with our government. Russia has been transformed into a wild wild west of capitalism since the fall of the USSR.

      Yeah it really can't be overstated just how much shit Russia is in because of Putin. He essentially made money laundering and scamming 100% legal.

      The only thing that's worse than capitalism is completely unregulated capitalism.

    Some former Soviet commisar who was a thirty something when the USSR disolved takes Putin's place. He takes the stage for his first speech as President of Russia.

    "Friends, it is now time to put an end to the thirty-year mistake."

    If you want, here's a Russian blog on the topic from Nov 3 citing a video from Oct 30. The video shows Putin moving his hands and feet a lot, which the video interprets as "he's on drugs lol", but the blog says are symptoms of Parkison's. The video is sped-up, which makes it a bit difficult to judge whether he actually moves weirdly. There's also a 2015 BBC article speculating whether Putin's hands' movement while walking was a symptom of Parkinson's or a result of KGB training to carry a gun.

    It's possible he really does have Parkison's - people get sick. We'll see soon enough if that's the case.

    The source is pretty suspect, but may have privileged info. The "political scientist"/historian, Valeriy Solovei, is a nationalist, who was "fired" (his contract wasn't renewed) from the prestigious Moscow International Relations University last year for "anti-government propaganda". He might be an idiot looking for attention, but giving his previous high position he might have contacts with elite circles.
