Another top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has died this week, this time of an alleged “stroke” while on a business trip in the village of Roshchino in Russia’s far east region.

Vladimir Nikolayevich Sungorkin, 68, was editor-in-chief of the Russian state newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda. According to the newspaper, Sungorkin died “suddenly” after showing signs of “suffocation” during the trip on Wednesday.

“It happened absolutely suddenly, nothing foreshadowed. We were in the village of Roshchino. We were driving, we were already making our way towards Khabarovsk, we planned to get there in the evening today, and from there to Moscow. All was good,” his colleague Leonid Zakharov, who had accompanied him on the business trip, wrote in a story for KP.

3. It's like the end of "The Godfather"

After the Don dies, Michael Corleone settles all of the family's business and has all of his enemies killed all at once.

Russia is a failed state. Putin has made a huge miscalculation in Ukraine and it will probably be his downfall. He's trying to remove all of his adversaries from the board.

That country is in real trouble now that the people are learning about the failures in Ukraine.
