🤦♂️🇩🇪 Russian emigration continues to surprise, just like the German press.
Mikhail Zygar, in an article for Der Spiegel, claims that Putin traveled to Mongolia to consult shamans for approval to use nuclear weapons.
It’s said that without the shamans' consent, Putin was hesitant to make a decision regarding "the nuclear option" out of fear of angering the spirits, but now he has "returned from Mongolia satisfied."
There’s an entire article in Der Spiegel detailing these shamanic rituals, like blood baths and so on, written by a once-prominent journalist. To avoid harsh criticism, Zygar repeatedly states that these are merely rumors circulating in Moscow. We checked with sources from Russia; there’s nothing of the sort even close to the truth.
It’s a postmodern tactic… you write nonsense and get paid for it.
