Putin’s top doctor, who is believed to have inside knowledge of despot’s medical secrets, has been arrested by the FSB after he was caught ‘seeking to flee the country’.
Russian vaccine and serum chief Viktor Trukhin, 59, went missing six days ago, and was simultaneously fired from his senior post at a top state institute amid ‘fraud’ allegations after his family reported him missing.
He is said to have inside knowledge of Russia’s latest research and development in the field of vaccines, serums and ‘bacterial preparations’.
Trukhin was detained by Vladimir Putin’s FSB counterintelligence service seeking to escape abroad via Belarus, reported Telegram channel Cheka-OGPU.
He was the longtime director of the St Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums.
I was kind of startled by a picture of Putin I saw yesterday in a news story about Kim Jong Un. It looks like he has textbook moon facies from iatrogenic Cushing’s, so I think he’s just getting loaded up with steroids. It could just be weight gain, but his hands and torso don’t appear to have changed compared to older photos.
