PUTIN CURSE CLAIMS CRONY

-

ANOTHER wealthy Vladimir Putin crony has died mysterious­ly shortly after having a powwow with the vicious and vindictive Russian dictator!

Ivan Pechorin, 39, managing director of the Far East and Arctic Developmen­t Corp., went missing while sailing in the Sea of Japan off the Russian coast last month. His body was found floating in the sea three days after he vanished.

Officially, Pechorin fell overboard and drowned.

But just days before the suspicious accident, Pechorin attended the Eastern Economic

Forum hosted by Putin in Vladivosto­k — and apparently locked horns with the Ukrainian invader.

At least half a dozen Russian oligarchs and top execs linked to the Kremlin have died by suicide or in strange accidents, like falling out of a hospital window, in recent months.

Pechorin’s boss, Igor

Nosov, suffered a fatal stroke in February. He was only 43!
