RFE: In Russian Cities, Mock Gravestones Are Sounding Putin's Death Knell

Oh you can bet that loyalists to Putin are taking this into their own hands. Some will go very very far to please him. Moscow would be littered with corpses of Putin's if enemies if not for the overtime working ambulances :D

Prior to Trump taking the presidency Putin's fortunes were flying high. He looked invincible. Now his fortunes have turned. 2018 was a rough year for him and 2019 is shaping up to be even worse for him.
