Ukrainian Jewish oligarch Hennadiy Korban stated that he performed the Pulsa Denura "death curse" against Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with the Ukrainian Radio NV on Friday. ...As the article notes, although there are sometimes claims that the pulsa de-nura cursing rite is ancient, it is only about a century old. For PaleoJudiaca posts on it, including its use against the abovementioned politicians, see here and links and here."By the way, maybe this is irrational logic, very often dictators - such as Putin, Hitler, Stalin - are very irrational in this regard and believe in many magical, mystical things. After all, we know from various chronicles that there were some shamans, astrologers and non-traditional healers under these people. Therefore, these people are very inclined to believe and are afraid of some mystical things."
Korban called what he did a "warning."
