Losing patience with Alina Kabaeva

In my blog from March 12, I had brought up the case of Alina Kabaeva, Putin’s lover, hiding in Switzerland with four of the dictator’s kids whom he has never officially recognized. 

Now, there is some action afoot to get her out of her luxurious Swiss Chalet and back to Russia. A petition to kick her out of the country has already collected over 70,000 signatures. Specifically the petition is demanding she be expelled from Switzerland and deported to Russia. 

This petition was launched by citizens in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine two weeks ago, calling for Swiss authorities to kick Kabaeva out of Switzerland and deport her back to Russia. “It's time you reunite Eva Braun with her Führer,”the strongly-worded petition said. 

The petition continues: “Given the volume of sanctions placed on Russia', Swiss authorities continue to host her and her family at a time when Putin 'is destroying the lives of millions. For the first time in modern history, your country has violated its neutrality, which it did not even do against Nazi Germany. And now you are allowing his favorite mistress and her children to hide within the borders of your state.” 

If Switzerland ignore that complain, it will obviously continues to host an accomplice of Putin's regime. Many fear that Putin’s carefully hidden assets may mean Kabaeva and her family have been able to escape the sanctions announced by the Swiss Federal Council in February. 

Along the same lines, it should also be noted that the West has so far not sanctioned Alina Kabaeva, who makes $10 million a year as the chairman of the board of directors at National Media Group, a major TV and newspaper conglomerate that’s also a Kremlin’s mouthpiece. The petition, was posted in in German, French and English. 

I too think that it’s time for her to return to Russia!
