Ksenia Sobchak, a 40 year old Russyan citizen has disappeared from her home in Moskva. She is the daughter of Anatoly Sobchak, former mayor of St. Petersburg, and was the political mentor of V. Putin when Mad Vlad was a Lt. Col. in the KGB stationed there. Ms. Sobchak has long played a fine line between support of the Kremlin and Putin and support of critics and the opposition. This past week, her apartment was entered by state police and searched, perhaps looking to arrest her. Her chief of staff was arrested and taken away. She has made a career in broadcasting and was a popular figure among media types. Information as to her whereabouts is limited: she passed the border yesterday into Lithuania, using her Israeli passport. Her plans are unknown, but it is assumed she was advised by Kremlin insiders to leave the country as soon as possible. Apparently, Mr. Putin is under intense pressure from business owners and academics due to the draining of leaders from their ranks as Russya's position in Ukraine becomes more precarious as time goes by.
Good luck, Ksenia, wherever you are.😱😱😱😱😱🙈🙉🙊
