Russia Putins Putin?

From the journal alternately titled, "I have no idea if this source is reliable, but it sort of seems like it might be, maybe, which I would know only if it turns out this way.  Listen, I don't know from Russia..."

So far, after 20 entire minutes of scrolling through things, my favorite theory about Putin: a slow burn-coup. The rumors surfacing: pregnant girlfriend, running drugs in the 90s, renewed speculation about the polonium murder in London, not to mention the recent public murder of another political dissident, have the feel of an old Soviet discreditation campaign.  If there is anything to this, the speculative outcome is Putin becomes a greatly weakened nominal head of state.

In the old days Radio Moscow was there to play more than the usual amount of ominous classical music.
