Rumors circulate after Vladimir Putin goes a full week without a public appearance

While I doubt Putin is dead, something seems to be up. The Russian president has not appeared in public for seven days, and has apparently canceled a planned trip through Central Asia. The Russian government has given no explanation for this bizarre absence, leaving Russians to speculate about the future of their president and the future of their federation.

What's the deal, Gaf? Is Putin dead or just ill from eating too much cheese?

lol he probably has a cold, flu, or did something silly like twisted his ankle.


Until there's credible rumors otherwise, it's crazy to assume something worse.

A week is nothing; that could be the flu, for instance. A month of absence is when it escalates from "could be the flu" to "could be a serious, debilitating illness."

Dude (or his subordinates) just ordered a hit on his most out-spoken opponent, so hiding from the spotlight makes sense.

Oh dear, I hope no one poisoned him. I remember hearing how someone in the Russian government was big into poisoning his enemies. Now who was that again...

Probably something minor, but he can't be showing any weaknesses, so until he's perfectly recovered he won't show up again.

It would be cool if he came back with a metal android body like mechs frieza.

I am now trademarking the name Mecha Putin it is mine.

Growing up in the 70's this reminds me of the cold war days...when a Russian leader disappeared for a couple of days, there was usually a power struggle going on behind the scenes.

He's likely heading to San Fran. WWE always gets celebs for wrestlemania but none so far this year. Clearly he's gonna help Lana manage rusev.

I'm going with this Roboputin theory.

"Now that Col. Grozniet is possibly dead, it is now my time to-CHUSH' SOBACH'YA!"
"Good morning, Piotr."
"Err, morning Colonel, haven't seen you in a couple of days, thought something happened to you..."
"It was two days, Piotr. You look pale."

Didn't Russia say they wanted to be friends with North Korea? maybe Putin is right now with Kim Jong-un skiing in the mountains meanwhile some slaves prepare hot cocoa.

So what new upgrades/fixes should we expect once the new PFP (Putin Feature Pack) finishes installing?

I'm hoping for a flowing mane and laser vision.

The Western propaganda machine goes into full effect just as it did when the moon faced fat kid who runs North Korea disappeared for a month.

It's probably nothing, or Putin laying low after someone gunned down his political adversary outside the Kremlin nearly two weeks ago.
