Rumor: Putin has cancer.

Something big is about to happen today. At least that's the buzz on some web sites my husband has been looking at, while I am viewing 9-11 videos.

I think he is right, and I don't think there has been a coup. For example:

The soldiers claim they are going on exercise in the Kharkiv area.

My read: if Putin is going into Ukraine, they won't be sending a few advisers.

Putin does not have cancer and is at his home in Voldai.

Russian Dozhd TV reports that Putin is sick with flu in Voldai. Putin's spokesman Peskov still refuses to comment on Putin's whereabouts.

Sources in Moscow are reporting on the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin's personal chief bodyguard, General Viktor Zolotov. Ukraine journalist Alex Mochanov has also confirmed the rumours. Uapress.info reports: According to some information Russian President Vladimir Putin was going to appoint General Viktor Zolotov as head of the FSB. However, this did not happen because the Russian President was absent.

He's baaaaack!

Seems fine. No obvious signs of cancer no play pen in the office. Sense of humour intact.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in public on Monday for the first time since March 5.
After an eleven-day absence without explanation, Putin was seen in St Petersburg meeting in the Constantine Palace with Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atambaev.
Over the course of the last week, the Kremlin has released undated photo and video footage of Putin, 62, increasing conjecture about his health, whether he had perhaps lost control of the government and even about his love life.
Speaking about the health rumors, he told reporters in Russia's second city on Monday that "It would be boring without gossip." Images published on social media did not appear to indicate anything untoward about his appearance.
