Check me if I have this right? The Novalny guy had been hurt before and had been treated/recovering in Germany. He only recently got well enough to go back to Mother Russia. But he would had to have gotten the clotshots in Germany. Four of ‘em.
So Ivan supposedly checks his gizzard and finds enough clotting in his heart to kill him. Now Ivan is in position to claim the Chermans killed a perfectly healthy Russian citizen. Curious that Russia even let the guy come back in knowing he was/is a health risk.
So then will the pressitutes blame the Chermans? As you note I expect the story is as dead as Novalny?
