Moscow (AFP) Jan 23, 2011 A Russian soldier has died after suffering from swine flu, media reports quoted the defence ministry as saying Sunday. The young air force conscript died Friday, ten days after being diagnosed with the flu, at a regional hospital in Chelyabinsk near the Ural Mountains "despite all measures taken by military and civilian doctors," the reports said.
