Parliament BuildingA Russian lawmaker and alleged Vladimir Putin loyalist was left in a coma after suffering a series of mysterious head injuries in a parliament building, RadarOnline.com has learned.
71-year-old Anatoly Karpov was hospitalized late Saturday night after allegedly suffering a fall. He now reportedly resides in the neurology ward of a prestigious Moscow medical institution as his serious condition is monitored 24/7.
According to Daily Mail, Karpov was a Putin ultra-loyalist before criticizing the Russian leader over his invasion of Ukraine. At one point during the invasion, Karpov reportedly called upon Putin to end the war against Ukraine so that peaceful people will stop dying.
I wish [the war] would end sooner, so that peaceful people would stop dying, he said earlier this year. In the end ordinary people are the victims. Ordinary people fight, politicians and generals decide, and ordinary people fight, civilians die.

And lucky for the agitators. They werent actually there smacking him in the head with a hammer. They incited some gullible nobody to do it by proxy. And then THEY can claim they had nothing to do with it.

(23,297 posts)Elliot meets a former love and regrets not marrying her. They meet at a restaurant and she tells him about her life. She met a man and they sailed off for a trip around the world. Unfortunately, he fell off the boat and drowned. Then she met another man and they went on a fishing trip. Unfortunately, he fell off the boat and drowned. She met a third man, but he died also. Elliot, with a concerned look on his face says "Wait, don't tell me he drowned?" She says "No, he accidentally shot himself in the back with a speargun."

Militant-nationalists don't like "weak" strong-men.
Bad sign for Putin.

(16,763 posts)And MAGATs are ok with this shit. They idolize Putin, Orban, the Orange Chosen One and want "blood in the streets" as Leningrad Lindsey said. He was right. We have a real problem coming, and I hope law enforcement is ready.

GM (Grand Master) Anatoly Karpov was the 12th world champion and reigned from 1975 to 1985 while also being the FIDE world champion from 1993 to 1999.
In 1975, American Bobby Fischer refused to defend his title when an agreement could not be reached with FIDE, chess's international governing body, over the match conditions. Consequently, the Soviet challenger Anatoly Karpov was named World Champion by default.

(185 posts)Kasparov, who eventually wrested the world championship from him, is probably the smartest man I've ever heard speak. He hates Putin's guts btw.
