Largest Country in the World Loses Top General

      A well respected military officer in the Russyan Army died over the New years' weekend.  A statement was posted on the Kremlin's website to the effect that Col. Gen. Igor Sergun died unexpectedly.  In a report released to the Interfax news agency,  Russyan Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that gen. Sergun died on Sunday.  No cause of death was included in the bulletin.
     Gen. Segun was only 58 years old and had joined the military as a very young man in 1973.  He joined the GRU in 2011 and was the Deputy chief of Russya's general staff.
     Was it too much party as the new year was ushered in?  Too much vodka at the party?    Was he among the in-crowd?  Was he a friend-of-Vlad?   When you are the head of Main Intelligence Directorate(GRU), you know things.  Maybe he knew too much.   The true story may not be known for awhile, but, it will come out sooner rather than later.
