Only positive news from the checkup. What I thought might be early prostatic symptoms are more likely to be anticholinergic side effects of pharmaceuticals, as my PSA is bumping around the bottom of the detectably range. A1c also in control. Also, I didn’t pull any attachments in my arm, so that is just a matter of time for healing
Saw #WizardOfTheKremlin , probably the last screening at my local. Now I'd like to read the book.
For a film about Putin (told from his advisor's point of view), you learn almost nothing about his motivations / mentality. But I did learn that events I had separated in my mind occurred at nearly the same time (Putin turning to politics/Russian apartment bombings 1 month later) (Sochi Olympics/'little green men' invasion of Ukraine).
There are a number of interesting one liners/points of view from all of the protagonists and some nostalgic (for me) nightclub scenes.
The costume, hair and makeup departments were excellent, btw, with exactly the right bad haircuts. Alexander Zaldostanov and Igor Sechin looked especially convincing, Putin was also surprisingly true-to-life.
P.S. feel free to recommend me *good* films/books on related topics
