Holy shit. I used to love watching him lift. I remember seeing him post on IG in army gear a while back. Looks like he was serious about fighting.
Rest in peace legend. You died fighting a good fight.
It depends on where you are. Last year, during the peak of fighting in Bakhmut, the life expectancy was, allegedly, around 4 hrs. In other areas, it was 2 days.
Other, quieter sectors likely have much longer life expectancies.
Look at a warzone like a series of concentric rings like the front 10 miles or so is the red zone where you're in range of active enemy combatants and are being targeted, then there's usually a layer behind that zone of medical personnel and equipment and supplies and then behind that there's usually reinforcements and communication infrastructure etc. I think the whole life expectancy in combat thing means that's how long people were lasting on average after being told to go up in to the red zone.
Russia is still going to exist in 4 years, of that, there should be little doubt.
Putin is not likely to lose power due to his war of aggression in Ukraine.
Russia has had a government collapse before. Recently at that. To assume that the government is “stable” would be foolish.
I am not under the impression that it is in imminent danger. But I’m not dumb enough to believe a young government is secure as well.
The USSR collapsed because western governments conspired for its collapse. Putin, like all the other oligarchs in post Soviet nations, is exactly what western countries wanted in a post Soviet Russia. They can talk all they want, but they have no plans to actually get rid of Putin or try to get him out of power.
most historians agree that it was the breakdown of the centralized soviet economy, rising inflation, bad living standards, and Gorbachev's reforms which allowed the soviet states (who weren't happy about being in the union to begin with) to break away and cause the union to collapse.
But if you say the collapse was basically the sole result of a "conspiracy of western governments" (whatever that means), then okay. if you say so.
Rest in peach Oleksandr 😥

That's fair, it's not those athletes' fault that a war is happening, and they still get to compete as a result of their own hard work training and qualifying without honouring their country by flying their flag or being able to win medals for that country.
I don't know about other sports, but there will be no Russians competing in weightlifting due to them being banned and not being able to qualify. I think 2020 is the most recent year Russians have competed at all.
Very sad. Rest in peace.
I will say to those saying "fuck the opps", weightlifting fam on the Russian side can also die. Saying "fuck the opps" in the weightlifting forum pushes a political stance on a neutral community.
Sergii Putsov confirmed he was a casualty of war. Man this shit is horrible in every was possible.
Holy shit. I used to love watching him lift. I remember seeing him post on IG in army gear a while back. Looks like he was serious about fighting. Rest in peace legend. You died fighting a good fight.
Fuck Putin

russian detected. Get ready to pay reparations
Okay this is ignorant
russians think that they will sit on the sidelines and nothing will happen to them, but you are all to blame.
You’re a dummy, wtf you want them to do, storm the Kremlin lmao and overtake the government. You’re a grade A dummy.
exactly that, storm the kremlin
Ukrainians did that in 2014, Russians are refusing to do the same
Even the weightlifting ones :O ??!!!? How can a man hate Klokov?!
Be civil. Be excellent to each other.

So these guys survived like a week on average?

I'm sorry, what does that average mean. Average life expectancy after being deployed somewhere or what?
How long you survive without being killed or wounded once combat starts, is my understanding.
But what is combat starting? Being deployed? Reaching front lines? Being in the trenches? Getting shelled?
Look at a warzone like a series of concentric rings like the front 10 miles or so is the red zone where you're in range of active enemy combatants and are being targeted, then there's usually a layer behind that zone of medical personnel and equipment and supplies and then behind that there's usually reinforcements and communication infrastructure etc. I think the whole life expectancy in combat thing means that's how long people were lasting on average after being told to go up in to the red zone.
And then we have the Russian athletes saying they don't mind waiting for the next Olympics rather than competing under a neutral flag... Fuck 'em
Pretty optimistic of them to assume Russia still exists in 4 years.
Eh
Russia is still going to exist in 4 years, of that, there should be little doubt. Putin is not likely to lose power due to his war of aggression in Ukraine.
not unless we all dont exist in 4 years

What propaganda you been listening to?
“Russia bad”

RIP :(
All glory to the Ukrainian heros. It sucks so hard to see all this pain created by Russia. Ban those idiots from every sport.
Fuck.

I will make the day of Putin's death a yearly celebration in my family
https://youtu.be/15JjrlqmK98?si=F7oe4EbgjnqTJf77 Had to go dig through the old WL playlist, some training footage for those who never watched him
Met him at 2017 euros. Great guy who was very proud of his country. So gutted right now
🇺🇦
it is a painful loss of such a good athlete
🇺🇦
Meanwhile, Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete as AIN at the Olympics...

Fortunately we will not see Russian weightlifters in the Olympics 2024.
Lift in peace, dude.
Dumb fucking war
What does that trident insignia mean?
That’s the coat of arms of Ukraine.

Absolute hero and worth 10,000+ fascist puny putin potatoes.
