There seems to be an epidemic of “mysterious illnesses” going around among Russian politicians. Yegor Gaidar, a free-market pioneer, came down with one in
Ireland recently. He’s now back in a hospital in Russia. Bad move,
Yegor. I’ve toured several Russian hospitals and if I had a mysterious illness of any kind I’d get my rear end to a Western country toute de suite. You should’ve stayed in Ireland, pal, instead of admitting yourself to a bolnitsa anywhere in Russia. Read up on your Russian history, Yegor. Most contenders for leadership in the past died in hospitals of (you guessed it) “mysterious illnesses.”
