Short update from Konstantin:



He certainly looks better. It might actually be a grumbling appendix, mine grumbled for nine years before it gave a yell and popped.

I looked for a video yesterday and he hadn't published this yet. Glad he is looking and sounding a little better but he doesn't sound sure about what is wrong or that he can't say at the moment. I hope he gets better and finds a way to stay safe.

He's a highly educated man who was a C-level executive. He's not a nobody and knows where the economic bodies are buried, which is why Dugin denounced him. He knows that even after the collapse comes, he will be a target and Uzbekistan is only able to offer so much protection.

Being nobodies protects most of the other expats who report on conditions in Russia.

Sounds more like a medical issue than a KGB action, so that is a bit encouraging. Hope he recovers soon.
