Ivan IV

Ivan IV (The Terrible,1533-84) was the first ruler to be crowned tsar of all Russia.

He liked men in women's clothes. 

One of his lieutenants, Feodor Basmanov, rose to power by performing seductive dances in women's clothes in Ivan's court.

"The Russian nobleman Feodor Basmanov was almost certainly a sometime lover of the tsar as well, according to three accounts from the time along with numerous later references. 

"Which wouldn’t be surprising because the Muscovites for several centuries up until the 1700s had a reputation for being quite accepting of homosexuality, which shocked those visiting Russia from other parts of Europe."

Litvinenko a liar - or Putin’s a child abuser? Or maybe he genuinely ‘thinks’ he is - but isn’t? So Putin, already allowing an implicating abuse-film to be made, kisses a young boys chest and orders a dramatic-looking execution upon Litvinenko? Film? A fake, or genuine? A drugged up set-up, or all a lie? Maybe it was made in his early 20’s or - what - once he joined the KGB?

As conclusive as a kiss on the chest. He wrote ‘nobody can understand why the Russian president did such a strange thing as kissing the stomach of an unfamiliar small boy'.

Nobody... can come up with, any plausible, innocent reason? A public event, when he allegedly abuses?

I’m sure some-body could?

The late Christopher Storey's (Soviet Analyst, Int.Currency Review}take on this was that he was signalling that he knew 'they' knew, but by this public gesture , he negated any blackmail /political pressure

More likely, Litvinenko was working for MI6, and was colluding in a smear campaign against Putin. We know our security services have been operating a blackmail racket at Dolphin Square, so they were probably projecting their own perversions on to Putin.

Putin's grandfather was a trusted chef for Lenin, and possibly Stalin too.

http://www.pravdareport.com/business/finance/05-11-2002/1528-putin-0/

Back in those days the risk and worry associated with the use of poison to assassinate people was very real.
A chef to Lenin or Stalin had to be impeccably loyal and trusted.

Now his grandson runs the whole show, what a coincidence!

seems common knowledge no one becomes head of state UNLESS they are a deviant- isn't it posted somewhere on this site that Putin visited that child's camp in Azov on a regular basis? and obama did some months just before Project Spade was implemented?

There is no documented evidence that the Tsar Alexander 11 and the Grand Dukes cited were homosexuals. Rumors circulated by enemies and gossips is not proof.
