Well,
we can put some of the rumours aside but if we have to guess where he
has been I will go with the idea that he has been doing some sort of
religious retreat, which he has been known to do.
Everyone
needs a rest
There
is, however, more serious news which I will deal with seperately
Return
of the Putin: Western Media Solves Mystery It Created
Putin
is back. Or was he ever gone? Western media created the gossip about
Putin’s absence, fueled it with numerous conspiracy theories,
ranging from his poor health, a coup and even alien abduction, all
the while the world goes on with ISIL, Ebola, the conflict in Ukraine
and other more important issues than the “disappearance” of
Putin.

Over
the last 11 days Western media excessively focused on “mysterious
disappearance” of Vladimir Putin, all the while forgetting about
other, more important things happening in the world.

Most Ridiculous Theories About the Whereabouts of Vladimir Putin
ISIL
keeps destroying ancient monuments and taking hostages, Ebola keeps
infecting people in West Africa, Ukrainians keep fighting each other,
Nazis are marching in Latvia and world leaders are trying to resolve
Iran's nuclear issue. Despite this, during the last 11 days, Western
media mostly kept talking about “disappearance” of Vladimir
Putin.
Putin’s
mystery was on top of everyone’s mind. Western media came up with
the most ridiculous theories about the whereabouts of the Russian
leader. One theory said he was dead, another suggested that Putin was
seriously ill and could no longer appear in public, third said that
Putin was overthrown in a secret coup, and others even suggested that
aliens abducted him.
After
creating the story about Putin’s “disappearance”, the West kept
fueling it with bewildering theories throughout days, guessing and
second-guessing about his fate. All the while, Putin was simply
working in his office. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, nothing exciting:
no coup took place, no aliens were seen, and Putin is certainly not
terminally ill. He simply chose not to make public appearance.
Made-up
stories about Putin’s “disappearance” eventually frightened the
West itself. Self-made fear made Western news agencies so alarmed
that when Putin had a planned meeting with the president of
Kyrgyzstan, Western news agencies started breaking news, screaming
about his planned appearance, as if Sasquatch had been seen in Times
Square.
Love
him or hate him, but Putin is indisputably one of the most favorite
and widely discussed personalities on the Internet. Ironic and
sometimes vulgar images of Putin and absurd stories about him in
Western media make people excited, make them buy magazines and click
on news stories.
Whether
Putin “disappeared”, rode a horse, saved tigers or dived into the
bottom of the Baikal Lake, stories will make the headlines in most
news agencies around the world.
