Reports of the White and Brown Bears' Deaths are Premature

Rav Fish last year:

• Russian Bear
• Rav Chaim Brisker heard from his grandfather, who heard from the Talmidei Hagr"a, who heard from the Gr"a that Russia would strengthen before Mashiah comes.
• He also said that Russia inherited the Kelipa of Persia - Dubiel.
• We see that Russia today is allied with the Iranians.
• "Dov" (bear) is hinted in the Russian Prime Minister's name: Medvedev (מדבדב)
• Rav Avraham Veisfish explains that Persia has the aspect of a brown bear, while Russia has the aspect of a white bear.

Does anyone else find it interesting that false reports of both Khamenei's premature death and Putin's premature death occurred within a week from each other - during the month of Adar no less?
