barred from his team saying that some woman off the street was allowed to heel leonid brezhnev is rubbish the chief here in the kremlin shares were obliged to watch the health of the liberation of one of them was victor but. he recalls how chefs have to refuse version of what his favorite meal ministries call that the full of his doctor's recommendation. are remember the way poultry was in soviet targets there were enough for the woman's now look different in those days the coat of arms could never be hidden it would got to be that serves as the basis of the side dish and i'm a guard you because of all mom's was a psych recital similar bills. the chefs have to resort to all sorts of tricks to keep alcohol away from britain and it had a detrimental effect on his health the bottles that were placed on his table looked

like they were filled with cognac but in fact they contained a drink made of rose hit. the roof hit water had a different color to cognac they took some time to come up with a way to resolve the problem with and we added lemon juice to it disco is the difference with some ten bottles but each reception put down on the table the most important thing was not to get them mixed up. could hardly rule come. creature in the last year before his death is hell filled completely after a visit to tashkent authorities but how did together a mess of good has been a cross factory to welcome him they looked on from scaffolding which suddenly collapsed fracturing his collarbone off the best doctors kept a watchful eye on his every step. of course there were special senses under the mess there was little one direction if it got out during the night he would step on the sides of the los in the men on division of usual view the body guards took some

time to get to his bedroom because they were in a separate house would become best buddy would you ever thought of going to work out at seven o'clock in the morning and i immediately called oppression at pete then when i said i have a sense there is something wrong with that impression if you're going to stop talking nonsense he replied he's ok everything's normal but she called me back three hours later to say that brashness died. the general secretary of the communist party was beer is in front of the walls of the kremlin next to the lenin mausoleum own red square. only on founder of the sole issue it was the head of state from nineteen seventeen until nineteen twenty four in may nineteenth when he became seriously ill and was almost completely disabled until his death according to official accounts he died

from atherosclerosis of. syria hawkeye footage depicted linin as a cheerful man full of energy capable of working in english from the cloak according to official soviet records lennon was in perfect health because he took an abrupt turn for the worse of the terms of his life by sussan funny complaint in one thousand eighteen. this is how the episode is shown in the soviet film released in the one nine hundred thirty s. . cañon sisters are ferreted on whether all of. those issues are at the turn of the assassination attempt on our side was circle she could hardly see people salutes the claim that lennon's health shockley deteriorated as a result of poison bullets is also debatable.

spent decades studying lennon's medical history the daily said there were plans to fill the bullets with a poison called curry which is incredibly potent but later hospitals used it as an anesthetic and the cause of the fact is that when the bullet leaves the barrel the poison becomes ineffective when the compound is immediately destroyed by very high temperatures. in one to twenty two lead and moved into his residence and in most good during the last months of his life he went almost completely insane this picture was taken by his sister. it to me official diagnosis of click disease that causes death was hidden from the public for many years. after foreign doctors came to examine lennon they said in letters dated back to one nine hundred twenty two that he had cephalus the diagnosis was confirmed in one nine hundred twenty four with lennon's death lennon's inner circle was aware of it but no one

else was supposed to know and the post-mortem report was grossly falsified. joseph stalin to gush meetings like the millennium successor head of state from nineteen twenty four to one hundred fifty three before death it uses doctors of deliberate malpractise when he suffered a stroke during the night and did not get up at the usual time flew so should not have the courage to check on the paralyzed leader today stallin died in march the fifth nineteen forty three in a coma. jersey or stolen in a tourist treasure center dictator had a reputation for being overly suspicious millions of people were subjected to political repression under his rule it was dominated by his previous. one of his residence was nearly enough because yet despite the fact it was high in the

mountains it was surrounded by thousands of gods even here stone and dreaded the prospect of any attempts on his life standstill in always sent with his face turned to the windows in this way he money told the situation outside because he was afraid of attempts on his life on the walls of the room produced a dim glow red lights getting headaches besides the curtains were trimmed so that he could satisfy himself that nobody outside was going to sesame him. a motor boat which shuttled across lake greets a supply of his residence with meals pay a board the smell of cooking is this and this is one of three bedrooms of johns of style in all three looked quite alike so this is because during the night stalin might go to another room to make sure that nobody knew where he was at any particular moment she fears for his life. towards the end of his life still insisted his doctors are spying

a few dozen medics were arrested under his personal orders they were brought to the security ministry where they were forced to say that they had deliberately meted out incorrect darknesses to put soviet leaders to death. or get the case. but of the against the documents were not treated yeah a vehement propaganda campaign. in the press and on the radio and television. things went so far that many patients turned surgery for conditions that required treatment. recreate on the supreme soviet of the us a soft dr lidia's has been awarded the order of lenin for her assistance to the government in unmasking killer doctors. in one nine hundred forty eight heart specialist lydia commercial sent a letter to the kremlin saying she disagreed with the way doctors had treated you donald a high ranking service official but the criminal ignored the letter however four

years later it was found in archives but that time stalin was already obsessed he thought physicians were trying to harm him the machine now provided the basis of a criminal case stone and couldn't see the case through however i see dido marks the fifth nine hundred fifty three continuation of us that was there and i have no doubt that a stalin had lived long enough those doctors would have been executed with a lot of reports exposing the group of saboteur doctors even stalin's death came office of jokes you know many people would say in whispers stalin has been healed to death. he. started his close associates agreed to use the doctor's case before the border you would have been hailed as the leader of all nations was even placed in the muslim can read square stonings personality cult was later denounced by his successor the key to crucial. latest polling was very close

to the muslim lydia to measure was stripped of the order of living and the alleged saboteurs doctors were released from prison they were even allowed to resume their work at the kremlin. culture is that so much about taxpayers' money matters a shade in particular areas of power in reach of social networking such as facebook you tube and twitter is undeniable but are these media themselves becoming. a filmmaker. and actually. believe. the rector's culture of real life made in prison on charges of. the overall. a liberal treat in tomsk siberia here so-called kremlin pills are made this particular drug is unique it

contains no chemicals and doesn't dissolve in stomach acid rather it is a small electronic device called the chip inside is two by two millimeters with a thousand transistors super microelectronics in those days and the kremlin pill is slightly larger than the brain once it is in the body it's not generating impulses emulating the rhythms of a young healthy body. alter the break up of the soviet union pharmacies began sending kremlin pills and the voice was hailed as the cure of the future and in the beginning sales skyrocketed. somebody had recommended it to me i felt that if they used it in the kremlin it might help my mother so i bought it dimitri's mother has just gone through complicated abdominal surgery which is all stock has for permission to use the kremlin pill but will it work. clearly one of. your members

lived to a very old age their lifespan was about ninety years whereas ordinary people lived until fifty or sixty on average worldly wisdom put their longevity down some special medicines including the kremlin pill. erie and dr general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union central committee nineteen eighty to ninety four diagnosis progress a reason for your requiring kidney dialysis he died on further than one thousand nine hundred eighty four. dockery of guinea chazal has killed many put it be remembers and was on friendly terms with for a long time he knew better than anyone else and on top of was unfit to rule the country however his opinion and that of other kremlin doctors was not heeded. the deal i did all i could. i supported him drop off for eighteen years why do you

think. i said he'd still been alive and in charge. i'm none to nine percent sure of the soviet union would never have collapsed. at the time he was appointed and group of look different from the other members of the politburo he was younger more energetic and had a high i.q. his work shuttle was filled with meetings but those closest to him knew that every day doctors used to connect and report to a kidney dialysis machine. both of. them but it was a cumbersome piece of equipment you know talk to colleagues were working on a miniature machine the size of a briefcase. they did create something of that car into it. and regrettably it was too late for them to put its to use. after the collapse of the soviet union the newspaper proved to blame dr charles ofen other kremlin doctors for the space of soviet leaders deaths.

when the armor of presenting. it can only be surprising how many fatal contingencies the last soviet leaders had to collide with it would be interesting to know from their kind of mission chance of the rapid health worsening of the soviet leaders could be a result of an outrageous incompetence of doctors or of furley plans aversive back which was accurately calculated well prepared and fulfilled by the so called qualified doctors kept all. racial i took the news paper and came to a meeting of academics. where i said to call it school i have to tell you that you know that twelve of you sitting here you are going to be subject to prosecution. and wipe the sweat off the hook. they decided to write an official

letter to craft a newspaper that said you're making a second case against oxalis. was so intimidated by the they decided to publish it. end of the u.s.s.r. from nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty four no chronic diseases really connected in him during his stint in office the only solution leader removed from power for what was officially described as health reasons died at the age of seventy seven seven years after his resignation. according to his contemporaries crucial for was healthier than any other serve it lida unlike prison if i didn't care much for ready made scripts to be speeches and instead often improvised a doctor did accompany him during his international visits but only to be on the safe something the job was to give crucial medical assistance of a special kind the fact is that he was the calmest politicians the only other

person. in the medical profession and he was thirty young lady that wrote specialist but that had nothing to do with the permanent state of his health it was simply too much and too loudly. effected his roekel chords so she had to do with the gear influences spray some some stuff inside his growth. during his last year at the helm of the soviet union seventy year old crucial spend more than one hundred thirty days travelling inside and outside the country in october nineteenth sixty fourth he decided to go on vacation in the cozy . trillion plus was brewing in most goods the culmination of crucial being removed from office as soon as he returned. the official reason be his advanced age which i fully agree with because he was then over seventy at the

second reason walls and increase in ill health. now i had seen it before. event in question and i knew perfectly well that he was an excellent skater. alas general secretary of the communist party nine hundred eighty five nineteen ninety one came to power the age of fifty four the only surviving leader from the soviet era. the central committee of the communist party the. general secretary. because gorbachev was elected in march nine hundred eighty five a wind of change was in the end of the strike it was announced in the country like nikita khrushchev. with the people with the franken straightforward manner he was far more refined and civilized. gets closer to the people close enough.

which often appeared in public together with his wife a practice previously unseen among the soviet leaders. was active in the nation's public life in soviet times many people resented the habit they blamed the country's first lady to sway decisions. bracy go which all died of leukemia in september one thousand nine hundred ninety before passing away she said that forming victims of a severe illness and dying would be the only way to get people to understand her this time the kremlin medicine was helpless. because i am missing a friend i have lost during his hard struggle my beloved wife if that's what is lacking in my life i always remember that. boris yeltsin president of russia nineteen ninety one nineteen ninety nine suffered from heart disease eight

years after his resignation he died of progressive cardiovascular and multiple organ failure in april two thousand. in the early one nine hundred ninety s. and then he saw yeltsin as a hero in august one thousand nine hundred one he stood at the head of a movement of resistance to places he wanted to preserve the soviet regime he just great energy and resolution. before long however rumors creeping around moscow were claiming that sharing a banquet table with yeltsin was full of unpredictable consequences. and that when they were. when they began pouring col yak into these glasses yeltsin the room is still turned around after it was mercilessly chorus chip yet there was

a side table filled with tumblers and goals holders. yeltsin used to drink tea out of a glass like this. then boris yeltsin reached out for six tumblers and placed them on the table all the way to trial from a few liberated stuck on what you. we're going to drink from v.c. he declared. when yeltsin was a young man he was an enthusiastic and skillful schools will this help his career in the communist party in the year olds here he was reputed to be a no nonsense tough administration knew he would never dare to pull the lever is always. after he moved to moscow to take the post of president quite a few people among his associates before we had practices one of them yuri manin was a professional psychic. i said it was possible to improve ratings some of size of that would be beyond the reach of opponents would give me forty five minutes of any

main c.v. state channels and the certain candidate would be elected but this is called the management of the collective mind the management of the audience. league of the nine hundred ninety six elections president yeltsin was going out of his way to demonstrate that he was physically fit from the term of office he was indeed elected for a second stint but he paid a price for his exertions. believe that heart bypass surgery it was decided that the complex operation would be performed in russia it lasted several hours cardiac surgeon or network sure and was in charge of the team of doctors. everyone thought that yeltsin would not survive that operation. because of all the stress the contraction function of his heart was a ruin. the only person who said there was a chance of success it was me. and i said that we should prepare him for the

surgery. after the operation and stayed at the helm of the nation for nearly four more years he resigned on the last day of the twentieth century. whole family viewing and i did what i could yeah. i want to ask for your forgiveness. by me as far as i can remember this is the one and only case where a head of state complete power decided by himself to leave. it was a sign of great courage. the yeltsin era has already receded into history many myths about kremlin medicine a gradually fading sales of the miracle kremlin pill have almost fizzled out despite being described as a cure all. dimitri the young man who bought the soviet device for his

mother only found out a short time ago that it had nothing to do with the kremlin at all it was just a bogus promotional campaign soon after the fall of the soviet union of course i was somewhat surprised because there was a legend attached to the pill when you first hear about it but immediately attraction is its name. with a serious take a pill and afterwards you live for two hundred years. and that's just nonsense i don't believe the rubbish. stringent selection procedure is a still applied to doctors wishing to join the system of medical care provided for the country's top most officials it is an established fact that the kremlin's inhabitants no longer tend to healers or clairvoyance however they do to keep fit and how the kremlin's doctors protect them from ill health is still a state secret.
