Doctors dying
Among
health care workers, the toll has been so high over the past fortnight
or so that colleagues have started compiling the names of the dead on an online memorial page — 74 names as of Tuesday night and growing.
Among
them was N******L******, who headed up medical services at Russia's
cosmonaut training centre outside Moscow. She allegedly died after
falling out a window — a fate that has become strikingly common over the
years for those who either disapprove of or disappoint Russian
authorities.
Independent
R******media reported L****** may have committed suicide after being
blamed for letting the coronavirus spread throughout the facility.
Another may also have tried to take her life by similarly
jumping out of a fifth-storey window at her workplace in S******
Local media reported that Y***** N********* was blamed by authorities for an outbreak of the virus.
She survived but is in critical condition.
Economic disaster and saving money for "Legacy projects."
G***** (an opposition politician) is calling on the P**** administration to release some of
the money in R****'s huge sovereign wealth fund, which holds more than
$150 billion US.
"He doesn't want to spend this reserve fund," G***** told CBC News."P****
needs the money to maintain the 'P**** forever' model," a reference to
the R***** leader's attempts to change the constitution to allow him to
serve two more terms as president.
G******
says Putin has a long list of "legacy projects" he wants built, and
spending money on direct payments to people will deplete the funds for
that.
But frustration is growing, as jobs dry up and the Kremlin (HINT, HINT) offers people little in return, G***** says.
"If there is a choice to die from hunger or the virus, it's better to die from the virus."
Our prizewinning country is
Russia!
And informed observers say it is'Very scary' for the government
Not to mention the rest of us.
