dead Boris Yeltsin

[Guest Banshees Scream]

Boris Yeltsin former russian president "1991 - 1999" and former deathlist canidate of 7 appearences i think should be reinstated on the deathlist next year. Durning his presidency he was hospitalized 16 times but though failed to die and his health i assume has improved but i bealive he is an alchoholic and still has a good percentage to die somewhere along the road. He hasent been on the list in a couple years but i could see him rejoining the deathlist faimly next year.

The George Best of international politics. May he find in the bottle what he couldn't... um, somewhere else (I don't remember the rest of it). Go Boris, go.

[Rotten Ali 600]

As a long shot I put him on my Rotten.com deadpool list in September only to be told that he was getting out and about - even to see CSK Moscow (one of the Russian football teams in Europe)

 

As for other old time football fans Plymouth Argile's Michael Foot looks to be the firm favorite.

 

Then again its my view that if you can get out and about to a match, it only shows you have at least 2 months to go!

.....Michael Foot looks to be the firm favorite.

 

Shouldn't that be infirm favourite?

I agree Boris Yeltsin is a good bet to die at some point.

Mortaility is unusual instance in which mortality and frailty occur together. To go with a whimper rather than a bang. The opposite of mortxuberance, or robustality.

Saw Yeltsin on CNN's "where are they now" special today. Looked pretty damn healthy and was apparently living a "healthier lifestyle."

 

Perhaps he drained his Peppermint Schnapps pool?

[Banshees Scream 110]

Another thread.......I started some time ago.

 

Boris Yeltsin seemed to roam the high spots of the DL

for several years. He had a terrible drinking problem

which now seems to be in the past.

 

He may be brought back someday i'm assuming but

in this day in time his healthy presence is now not wanted

here on the DL.

In September 2005, Yeltsin underwent a hip operation in Moscow after breaking his femur in a fall while vacationing on the Italian island of Sardinia

 

I wonder why he fell in Sardinia, too much drink maybe?

A very impressive list Mr.Fugit.

 

It looks like poor Boris has had more then a lifetimes worth

of health issues.

 

How healthy is Boris Yeltsin...........Really?

I agree Boris Yeltsin is a good bet to die at some point.

 

Well of course he's a goodbet to die at some point. The trick is guessing when.

[Tempus Fugit 214]

 

Boris lost the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, when he was eleven during WWII he was disassembling a grenade and it went off.

 

Russian politics seem dreary with Boris gone into retirement,

 

by comparision Putin is a cold clinical autocrat.

[Tempus Fugit 214]

Mikhail Gorbachev is 75 today - does anyone have an info on his health?

 

And what about Boris Yeltsin - definitely pickled but is he still alive?

 

 

This just in:

 

Yeltsin has check-up at German heart clinic

12:22 | 02/ 03/ 2006

 

 

 

BERLIN, March 2 (RIA Novosti, Olga Semenova) - Former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin has had a check-up at a German heart center, the clinic said Thursday.

 

"Yeltsin comes in for a check-up with Professor Roland Hetzer every year, following the 1996 operation on his aorta," a clinic representative said. He added that the results could not be disclosed, citing professional ethics.

 

"For his age, and taking into account his heart's workload, Yeltsin looks good. You should ask him how he feels, though."

 

Health problems dogged Yelstin throughout his second term in office, and he underwent major heart surgery in 1996. The former president celebrated his 75 birthday in February.

Not entirely sure what that means but I think he's trying to say the man's a wreck.

 

 

 

Just putting this where it belongs, in the Boris Yeltsin thread.

His cremation however might last a few days/ weeks, and the flames will be a nice blue colour.

Another bad miss for the DL Committee. I think we should sentence ourselves to 20 years hard labour in a Siberian salt mine as a punishment for missing, and tribute to, President Yeltsin.

Hmm touch and go I think..

In general death terms, the first heavyweight death of the year and I mean that metaphorically although he was a big man...
