Mentifex channels Wayne Madsen Report on coming death of Putin.

May 13-15, 2022 -- Wartime News -- Russia: the coming collapse with Putin approaching death's door

Russia appears to be facing a perfect storm. Its armed forces continue to falter in their invasion of Ukraine, while dictator Vladimir Putin shows signs of receiving treatment for what some observers believe is blood cancer. At Putin's recent May 9 appearance on Red Square marking the annual commemoration of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, his face was puffy, his legs were temporarily covered by a blanket, and he had a distinct limp while walking.

Medical experts have pointed out that Putin's face bore a typical "chemo glow" that often results from chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Radiation treatment in combination with chemo can also contribute to red blotches and bloating of the face, both noticeable in Putin's case.

In a case of deja vu, Kremlin watchers and intelligence agencies are resorting to viewing photographs and videos in order to ascertain a Russian leader's health. This was commonplace during the Cold War, particularly between 1982 and 1985, when three Soviet leaders, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, and Konstantin Chernenko, all died in rapid succession.

WMR previously reported that tensions were building in Siberia among non-Russian ethnic groups who have bristled at seeing their young conscripts return in body bags from Ukraine while also facing limitations on their former political autonomy. While there have been numerous reports of anti-Putin partisans in Russia and Belarus attacking rail lines to disrupt the Russian war effort in Ukraine, this action has now, according to various news reports, spread to Siberia.

Siberian separatists have blocked trains in the Irkutsk region by short circuiting safety switches on the rails. According to the Russian website Baza, notes left at the scenes of the sabotage read: "Death to Katsapam." Katsapam is a pejorative term for ethnic Russians and is literally translated as "butcher." A similar word derived from the Turkish language, kasap, is also used by Ukrainians, Poles, Crimean Tatars, and among the Turkic peoples of Siberia, including Tuvans, Altais, Khakass, and the Sakha. The notes disrupting the rail lines also read: "Free Siberia! Glory to the Siberian Republic." A large number of ethnic Ukrainians also live in Siberia. In 1919, there was briefly an independent Siberia with its capital in Omsk.

There are growing signs that the war in Ukraine is resulting in a shamanic rebellion among Buddhist clerics in the predominantly Buddhist Republics of Tuva and Buryatia on the Russian border with Mongolia. Buryats living abroad are also protesting the war in Ukraine [right, Buryats in San Francisco] as a higher proportion of Buryats in the Russian armed forces are dying in Ukraine than their Russian counterparts.

If Putin does have terminal cancer, the jockeying among those to replace him will become as fierce as it was after the deaths of Brezhnev, Andropov, and Chernenko. Mikhail Gorbachev, who was the successor favored by former KGB chief Andropov, saw his succession stymied by the terminally ill Chernenko. Only after Chernenko's death was Gorbachev able to ascend to the Kremlin's top spot.

Among those seen as potential successors to Putin include Nikolai Patrushev, the 70-year old chairman of the Russian National Security Council; former President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently the deputy chairman of the National Security Council; and a long shot, the 36-year old Dmitry Kovalev, a Putin presidential aide.

We’ve heard this too many times to put much faith in it.

This seems to be a time similar to Russia’s defeat in WW II. I wouldn’t
expect to see Cossacks on horseback or armored trains, but the defeated
returning veterans may bring on civil war.

As for the current unrest, the CIA would be very remiss if it wasn’t
encouraging it. If things get crazy enough, Putsky will have to bring some
of his army back to maintain order.

I’ve seen some of this elsewhere. Putin’s health seems to be a source of
speculation, and I’ve heard about some rumblings of unrest in Russia’s far
east. As I said, I’d certainly hope the CIA is talking to people there.
Then you hear the intercepts of what many Russian soldiers in Ukraine are
saying. There has already been one Russian general killed by being run over
by one of his own tanks, how long until the soldiers begin shooting their
officers?

The leadership difficulties in the Russian army go all the way back
to WWII. Unlike the western armed forces, the Russians don't have
an experienced NCO corp to run daily operations, rather they have
officers (and in the Soviet years, political handlers) doing the
hands-on work, and thus they "lead from the front". Hence the loss
of at least four generals so far, some as you note, may have been
indiginous losses.

Speculation is unhealthy, leading to potentially dangerous false
conclusions.

I remember the old men's stories from WWI, of how the advancing soldiers
would be FOLLOWED by officers with pistols in their hands, ready to
shoot any soldier who hesitated.

In the early stages of barberossa, the russian political officers were shot
immediatly on capture, as were the women soldiers. Horrible.

Some of the political officers were men, like Krushchev.

The Night Witches, Russian fighter-bomber pilots, were abused then
murdered upon capture by the Germans.

I thought it was myth, but turns out it is fact. A Russian woman heard
of her husband's death, talked Stalin into letting her be a tank
commander. She took on a number of German tanks, as part of various
attacks, and beat them. I don't remember if she survived the war or
not.

AFAIK, Russian women demanded an Army unit for women only in 1915. Both
World wars were hard for Women on the eastern front. There was a story
that Himmler organized a rescue for half German children when it was
clear that Germany was going to have to retreat from the Ukraine. One
story was that there was over a million such children.

I never found out anything more about that.

Wars are bad things. Walking along the roads in the former Eastern
Berlin,, looking down into holes filled with the debris from the
bombing, brought the old stories back, of how the women were forced to
clear rubble to be allowed food to live.

The real heroes of the War in the East were the Russian and German women
that endured and got their countries going again.

Her tank was named "Fighting Girlfriend" (the Soviets were big on
names/slogans painted on their tanks). She financed part of the tank's
construction. She was the tank driver. Was in several successful
battles, finally killed in action 1944 while attempting repairs under
fire.

Now they’re “recruiting” soldiers from the captured parts of Ukraine to
fight, probably with similar incentives.
