Karl-Günther von Hase, former director of the "Second German Television" (ZDF), has finally died. He held that post from 1977 to 1982 as a result of a spontaneous candidacy. Before that, he was a military figure, diplomat and politician: During World War II, he was a General Staff Officer and spent some time captivity by the Soviets. In the 1950s and 1960s, he worked in diplomacy. For seven years he was ambassador in London. Before that, he worked for the German Secretary of state, was Head of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government in the rank of State Secretary and switched to the minstry of defense. He was 103 years old. https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/zdfspezial/hase-spz-100.html http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2020/celebs_H.html#hase99k020

You know, Russia tries to protect its image, denies poisoning, throwing people out of windows, shooting down planes, etc.... But I have to wonder, isn't it better now to just admit to what they're doing? It seems your risk of dying in Russia due to some accident is intolerably high. I would not want to live in such a dangerous country full of insecure windows and dangerous woods.
