Well, every year something like 100 Muscovites get drunk and fall into the river, freezing to death. And his name is a play on the word "fish"....... My guess is that after drinking 3 bottles of Yuri Dolgoruki, and eating his weight in herring, he's still hung over and perhaps trapped under some old newspapers. In all honesty, however, this makes no sense. I don't think Putin is remotely involved, since Kucinich stands a better chance of winning the nomination than Comrade Rybkin does of unseating Putin. Hopefully for his family, he'll turn up.
Second prominent Liberal Russia party member with big ambitions goes missing within 9 months... I don't know. The vodka and herring theory has wings, certainly, but I don't think this can be just blown off. What would happen if Greens started disappearing?
Greens? Libertarians? Doesn't that fall under the whole "If a tree falls in the forest..." type category?
He's been found. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...040210/ap_on_re_eu/russia_missing_candidate_7 My guesstimate regarding vodka and herring (probably on some nice black bread) was likely correct. So he ended up in Ukraine - the Tijuana or Russia. (Note - it is not the happiest place on earth.)
