THE husband of Putin's "Iron Doll" propagandist has become the fourth leading Russian figure to die in the space of just two days.

Tigran Keosayan, who was himself a well known media figure, passed away after spending eight months in a coma.

The Putin-cheerleader had long been suffering from a heart problems before his death.

His wife Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the state-controlled broadcaster RT, announced the news of his passing today.

She wrote on social media: "Tonight, Tigran went to the Creator. Thank you to everyone who prayed.

"Please do not call me or the family now. Thank you all, thank you."

Tigran had slipped into a coma back in January because of his heart issues.

He is reportedly to have briefly experienced clinical death during this health emergency.

Margarita has dealt with her own share of health conditions, having recently been reported to have received a serious diagnosis.

While she did not declare any specifics, a source told The Moscow Times that she has cancer.

But Tigran is just one of several high-profile Russians to have met their ends over the past 48 hours.

One rich pro-Putin politician was found hanging from a tree with his hands bound.

Construction company boss Vitaly Kapustin was found swinging 20ft up from a tree branch.

Transport boss Alexander Fedotov, 49, was also found dead at a hotel in Moscow.

His body was found outside the five-star Skypoint Luxe hotel at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport.

And multi-millionaire ex-customs chief Boris Avakyan was found in a toilet after fleeing a court case.

His body was found with "slit wrists" inside the Armenian consulate in St Petersburg.

Avakyan had escaped a Russian courtroom by sneaking outside for a cigarette before getting into a car.

That’s a great point but perhaps not the one you intended...the propaganda about alcohol is just not so. Something genetic is happening.

OK, how about if you enlighten us on how you know the propaganda about alcohol is just not so. Perhaps quoting something other than Wikipedia.

Statistics can be tricky. For example, if Russia has a muslim population of 15%, and Ireland 2%, and the UK 5%, and we assume that muslims generally don't drink, then the per capita consumption rate gets skewed.

It also matters that Russians are drinking lots of toxic moonshine (samogon).

Muslim population relevant:

Starts out saying the numbers are corrupted by the label, but they intermarry and are assimilated and somewhat no longer muslim. No telling what that does to alcohol consumption.

Is this reddit talk trustworthy? No more or less so than anything else, since we’ve come to learn that the media makes no effort at accuracy. At least sources something more than anonymous (though I don’t know how traceable Reddit is)
