    Imagine you are a Russian doctor, you have a patient with severe nausea, diarrhea, blurry vision, headache, muscle weakness, and you don’t want to fall out of a window. What’s your diagnosis?

      This level of conspiracy is too much for my credulity. I think Russia is a heavy handed murderous state, but I don’t see the motive or means likely for this dude. I honestly believe it’s more likely he’s just an old guy that died from multiorgan failure from mushroom poisoning. Cholinergic crisis would’ve likely killed him much faster.

      I am always a little amused by the comments of Europeans about Russia as a country of madness and murder. Putin may be a murderer, but he is not a psychopath. Almost 100% is mushroom poisoning. Especially considering how many people in Russia actually pick mushrooms on their own and eat them. On average, about 10,000 Russians are poisoned by mushrooms every year due to the fact that they made a mistake when collecting in the forest. Dies, of course, much less, but the chance is non-zero. I also collect mushrooms in the nearby forest and eat almost all my life. And pickle for the winter too.

      UPD: Considering that insults have began, I’m sorry if I offended someone. I’m just surprised how much people are really afraid of one person. Even he is a dictator. Putin kills a line engineer. What’s next? Eat children? It’s amazing that people write insults to me at all. What if I am also a hidden Putin and tomorrow the door handles will be smeared with a “novichok”? XD
