Reports of Svetlana Abrosimova with Putin's buddy

None of us wants to believe this but Navalny's group shows a ton of evidence. It may all be propaganda but the case seems very compelling.

IDK, if Sveta had had children, I'm thinking someone would have posted it here or on TOB. I don't remember reading anything about that.

I only remember hearing bits and pieces. I remember hearing Sveta had a big job with the Russian National basketball team. or whatever it's called. I remember the story about the twins, don't recall anything about the father. Did not know she evidently has duel citizenship? Have seen pictures of her posing with Ex UCONN players (actually no such thing) at various Final Fours. Didn't know she had moved back to the U.S. for a time. In the past Geno has said that he's talked to her on the phone, sounded like it was a fairly regular thing. My tummy ain't feeling so good about this story either. Have no idea what her politics are, but I do know that being that well known means that one critical peep out of you and you run the risk of running afoul of the regime.

Page was just updated today, May 23, 2023.  The "Partner" may have been added today.

Ahhhh, how did I miss that? I'm ashamed. 

Sveta's Wiki page lists him as the father of her two kids. However the reference is the Navalny article mentioned above. 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Abrosimova

So more importantly than who the father is or who Svet's "partner" is, they were born in 2017. So UCONN should start looking at the twins around 2032 or so? They could enroll around 2035? 

I didn't think anyone can edit wikipedia, since I had to pass a sort of inspection before becoming an editor, though maybe that's changed since.

But the rest of what you say is a rush to judgment. Before the war, she acquired all this status and wealth. Then, oligarchs were just vulgar guys who bought estates in St John's Wood and sports teams. It's only now that they are anathematized. 

I don't know if we're that effective. 

Tommy can get really mean. 

It made me sick too. I've been a huge fan of hers since her UConn days. But this...I've followed the war in Ukraine from the beginning & unfortunately have become very familiar with Vladimir Solovyov. He has been decorated twice by Putin for his propaganda, which is vile to say the least. There is enough video & audio evidence to charge and convict him of war crimes (incitement to war & incitement to genocide to name just 2). He's a typical bully, abuses his staff on air when things go wrong & generally comes across as an ***hole. If you're interested check @juliadavisnews on Twitter and her YouTube channel, Russia Media Monitor. 

Frankly the only thing attractive about him is that he is said to be worth at least $100 million, thanks to his connection to Putin. I don't claim to understand why else Sveta would be with him, which doesn't say anything good about her ethics. 

During the events of last weekend I thought of Sveta & her children several times. When Putin eventually falls (he won't live forever & a lot of the elite is displeased with the way he's handled both the war & the coup attempt) Solovyov will go down with him, he is too closely identified with the Putin regime although he did attempt to straddle the fence by making a commercial with Prighozin not long ago. Anyway if that coup had succeeded or when Putin is finally replaced Sveta & her children could find themselves in serious danger. A new regime might want to make an example of someone who benefited from the Putin connection at the expense of Russian citizens. Who better than the mistress of the former chief propagandist of the Putin regime??? 

Could this thread be moved to off-topic?

I am diametrically opposed to most of what I read here and I'm tempted to explain reality to those who have formed their opinions from the propaganda that masquerades as the US news media.

If I do you will move it so why not now? Out of my sight, out of my mind.
