[Happy Times]

A rumor that has been spreading this week.:lol:

A recent issue of Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper said that Russia’s outgoing President Vladimir Putin was going to marry a girl who is 30 years younger.

Correct, except in this case "news" (Izvestia) and "truth" (Pravda) are the two largest newspapers in Russia :p

One of the news reporters here in Australia refered to one of the photos of Alina Kabaeva doing a routine showing her in a certain position as a pretzel!

The Russian newspaper publishing this story stops to publish and is no longer financed , despite having said meanwhile that the story was a hoax. It gets buried, it seems. Official reason is that it does not run economical.

If such events are coincidence in Russia, it means that it may be coincidence - or something different, ehem...
