Almost 19 years, we are ruled by Vladimir Putin and intend to do it yet, but so far he has never been a man. He was President. He was a Superhero. He was able to fly into the heavens and sink to the depths. Could throw through the thigh and hammer in the gate, could understand the language of birds and animals. He knew exactly how many foreign players are supposed to have on the football team, and how many Russian players were able to appreciate the charm of films and the importance of discoveries. He, the truth, at all did not understand doping and was not in a rate of opening of test tubes.

But even Achilles had a Fifth. Putin was almost a god and we have already been informed that there will be no Putin, there will be no Russia either. And we did not understand only one thing: where was Russia at the time when Putin had not yet been born? And at what point did Russia come from the vacuum? In general, there was everything - except one. Putin was not a man. We have never seen his children, and it seems to many that they are still going to school - because more recent photos of us over all these years have not been shown. Trying to find out who his daughters are and what they do can cost you a career and lead to ruin.

Putin did not actually have a wife, even when formally she was. And then we were told that Putin is married to Russia, which, as we already knew, without Putin simply will not be. That is, we will all live happily ever after with him and die in one day. We knew about the human manifestations of the president from awkward documentary productions, and I only remember that the Patriarch sends to Putin curd. But it also looked somehow not quite. After all, the Patriarch does not send us cottage cheese - we follow him to the store ourselves. And now Putin took it - and fell ill!.

Of course, he was sick before. And earlier he sometimes disappeared for several days and even weeks. Sometimes, he spoke with a hoarse, it used to be that his back was gripped. But it was never called a disease. The meetings were canceled, but before these cancellations were not explained by health problems. As if the very fact of a cold can cause confusion among the people and put the fate of the country under attack. Of course, because God can not catch cold! And now they are beginning to wonder how his cold will affect the election campaign. And suddenly people, having learned that Putin is a person, would prefer to vote for Grudinin or for Baburin! Or maybe it's the other way around?.

Do you want to finally turn Putin into a person, make him closer to us? Togo look and analyzes are made public - leukocytes, eosinophils, segmented nuclei and hemoglobin. Can and in polyclinic descends, having reached it or her on marshrutke.

But in any case, the President needs to protect his health. I also recently went to work without a voice and nothing good came out of this venture. And the pleasure of working in this state is no, and little use. But nobody will notice my absence, and without Putin - Russia will not. Cold caught Putin - and his head aches in all.
