MOSCOW, 13 Aug. Retired GRU colonel Vladimir Kvachkov ended up in a hospital with pneumonia, his condition has not changed for almost a week, his wife Nadezhda Kvachkova said on her Vkontakte page. For the first time, Kvachkova wrote about her husband's illness last Sunday, August 8. “I ask for prayers for Vladimir Vasilievich! He was hospitalized with pneumonia,” reads her page. In a post today, she added that the spouse's condition is «unchanged so far.» The court sentenced two associates of the retired GRU colonel Kvachkov. Meanwhile, judging by the video with Kvachkov published on social networks, he admitted that the nature of the 2019-nCOV viral infection was allegedly artificial and that it was created by the «world behind the scenes» to destroy nations entirely. These and similar allegations were previously repeatedly denied by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. Kvachkov became widely known in 2005, when he was charged with an attempt on the life of one of the most influential people in the Russian government in the 1990s-2000s, Anatoly Chubais (now he is the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for relations with international organizations to achieve sustainable development goals) After three years of imprisonment, Kvachkov was acquitted, but the very next day the court arrested him in a new case of preparing an armed rebellion. In 2013, the Moscow City Court sentenced Kvachkov to 13 years in prison, later the Supreme Court reduced the sentence to eight years, and soon the officer was released.
