西伯利亚鼠疫研究所一名员工死亡后，人们对肺鼠疫爆发的担忧对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京来说并不是一个好兆头，他正面临经济不景气和乌克兰陷入停滞的战争，这场战争已夺去了估计数十万俄罗斯人的生命，专家表示。
Fears of a pneumonic plague outbreak following the death of a Siberian plague research institute employee don't bode well for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is facing a faltering economy and a stalled war in Ukraine that has claimed estimated hundreds of thousands of Russian lives, experts say.
退休中央情报局官员丹·霍夫曼（Dan Hoffman）告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，多年来，普京一直牢牢控制着权力，虽然一次实验室死亡并不是立即造成政权杀手，但被压制的生物事件--就像1986年切尔诺贝利核灾难或苏联-阿富汗战争--是莫斯科系统性失败的综合名单中的一个。
Putin has for years maintained a tight grip on power, and while a single lab death isn't an immediate regime-killer, suppressed biological incidents—much like the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster or the Soviet-Afghan War—add to the compounding list of systemic failures in Moscow, retired CIA officer Dan Hoffman told Fox News Digital.
“长期战略问题是，这是否会对弗拉基米尔·普京及其对克里姆林宫的控制产生影响，直到他自己的人民意识到：‘这对我们来说不合适。我们不喜欢这样。我们不喜欢乌克兰的战争。这只是另一回事，”霍夫曼告诉福克斯新闻数字。
"The longer-term strategic question is, does this have an impact on Vladimir Putin and his hold on the Kremlin until his own people realize: 'This just isn't right for us. We don't like this. We don't like the war in Ukraine. This is just another thing,'" Hoffman told Fox News Digital.
俄罗斯国家经济学家在斯塔克对莫斯科经济未来的质疑后被解雇“苏联解体的原因不是因为切尔诺贝利事故，但这是其中的一部分，”他补充道。“这是失败的经济吗？嗯，他们好像也是这样。失败的阿富汗战争？乌克兰的战争看起来不太妙所有这些事情都堆在普京身上。“死亡的研究人员已被确认为28岁的达里娅·希皮洛娃（Darya Shipilova），她在西伯利亚和远东伊尔库茨克抗瘟疫研究所工作。
RUSSIAN STATE ECONOMIST FIRED AFTER STARK WARNING ABOUT MOSCOW’S ECONOMIC FUTURE "The reason why the Soviet Union collapsed wasn't because of Chernobyl, but that was a part of it," he added. "It was it a failed economy? Well, they kind of got that going too. The failed war in Afghanistan? Well, that war in Ukraine doesn't look too good. So all these things just pile up on Putin." The researcher who died has been identified as 28-year-old Darya Shipilova, who worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East.
俄罗斯卫生当局表示，没有证据表明她的疾病是由与她的工作有关的病原体引起的。当局称，希皮洛娃在被诊断出患有“不明”原因的肺炎后死亡。
There was no evidence that her illness was caused by pathogens linked to her work, Russian health authorities said. Shipilova died after being diagnosed with a pneumonia of "unknown" origin, authorities have said.
加巴德表示，已保密的生物实验室记录了之前被视为错误信息的有效关注周一，国务卿马可·卢比奥表示，美国正在“密切关注和监视”事态发展。
GABBARD SAYS DECLASSIFIED BIOLAB RECORDS VALIDATE CONCERNS PREVIOUSLY DISMISSED AS MISINFORMATION On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States was "watching and monitoring" the situation closely.
俄罗斯联邦消费者权益保护和公益监督局（即罗斯波特雷布纳德佐尔，负责传染病防控）局长安娜·波波娃抵达了该研究实验室。
Anna Popova, the head of Russia's Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare, or the Rospotrebnadzor, which handles infectious disease, arrived at the research lab.
该机构表示：“在从患者身上采集的样本中，未检测到与该员工职业职责相关的微生物。”
"No micro-organisms associated with the employee’s professional duties were detected in samples taken from the patient," the agency said.
霍夫曼表示，即使希皮洛娃的死亡是一个孤立事件，俄罗斯在敏感事务上隐瞒信息的历史也可能让许多外部观察者心存疑虑。
Even if Shipilova's death is an isolated incident, Russia's history of hiding information related to sensitive matters could leave many outside observers with doubts, Hoffman said.
戈登·桑德兰大使：教父测试——普京如何将每一次袭击变成谜团——并逍遥法外 “普京，你知道，是个独裁者，他对信息有着相当严格的控制，所以他们显然不会向公众发布任何真相，这意味着我们必须依靠情报来了解幕后发生的事情，”他说。
AMB. GORDON SONDLAND: THE GODFATHER TEST -- HOW PUTIN TURNS EVERY ATTACK INTO A MYSTERY—AND GETS AWAY WITH IT "Putin, you know, is a dictator and he's got pretty strict control over information, so they're obviously not going to release any truth to the public, and that means we have to rely on intelligence to understand what's going on behind the scenes," he said.
苏联在全球谴责声中严控其入侵阿富汗的消息，并于1986年4月26日切尔诺贝利核反应堆爆炸时实施全面新闻封锁，在国内和国际上均压制了信息。
The Soviet Union tightly controlled news of its invasion of Afghanistan amid global condemnation and enforced a total media blackout when the Chernobyl nuclear reactor exploded on April 26, 1986, suppressing information both domestically and internationally.
“选民可以选择——只是不能选结果”：俄罗斯议会选举延伸至被占领的乌克兰 “俄罗斯公开说的任何东西，都与实地情况无关，”霍夫曼说。“那不过是针对自己民众的影响力行动。”霍夫曼指出，莫斯科最亲密的盟友之一中国，也控制着向外界传播的信息。
‘VOTERS GET TO CHOOSE — JUST NOT THE RESULT’: RUSSIA’S PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION REACHES OCCUPIED UKRAINE "Whatever Russia is saying publicly, that has nothing to do with the reality on the ground," said Hoffman. "What that is, is an influence operation for their own people." Hoffman noted that China, one of Moscow's closest allies, also controls what information is disseminated to the outside world.
“中国也做同样的事。在新冠疫情期间，我们从他们那里得到了多少有用信息？”霍夫曼说。“这就是独裁统治的运作方式。”
"China does the same thing. How much useful information did we get out of them with COVID?" Hoffman said. "That's the way dictatorships work."
