All sorts of different versions circulate about what may have happened. Now his wife (Natalia Bulanova) says it is fake news and she does not know where it is coming from (source of quote below is Sports.RU via Chessbase )

If GM Karpov is fine. Then why does not GM Karpov speak for himself?

Putin critics are either all suicidal, or very accident prone.

Slightly weird - sure this video title is not fake news?
Wikipedia seems to think Karpov is a good loyal Russian:
Karpov expressed support of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and accused Europe of trying to demonize Putin.[45] In August 2019, Maxim Dlugy said that Karpov had been waiting since March for the approval of a non-immigrant visa to the United States, despite frequently visiting the country since 1972. Karpov had been scheduled to teach a summer camp at the Chess Max Academy. Dlugy said that Karpov had been questioned at the US embassy in Moscow about whether he planned to communicate with American politicians.[46] Karpov was among the Russian State Duma members placed under sanctions by the EU during the prelude to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[47] In March 2022, after the start of the invasion, the FIDE Council suspended Karpov's title of FIDE Ambassador for Life.[48]

Hard to say. I posted the version I've read which makes the most sense, but being the more plausible doesn't mean it's what happened. Just looking at the title, there are several points to raise:
Is he "anti-war?
Is he in a coma?
Was the fall a "mystery"?

If it is fake news. This could be cleared up by GM Karpov in a microsecond. As everyone who said GM Karpov is fine seems to be able to speak. If GM Karpov is fine, then why does not GM Karpov speak and say it is fake news, and I am fine!

Its typical for fake news to spread different kinds of versions about an incident, so nobody can see through the fog . Thats how chess system tal fought the bean counters by creating too many complications in the search tree.

GM Karpov is a famous public chess personality.
Where is GM Karpov if this is fake news as you suggest?
We have 2 logical answers.
1. GM Karpov is unwilling to speak. 2. GM Karpov is unable to speak.

According to RIA Novosti Sport, via Sports.RU again, Karpov is doing a little better (but probably still under hospital treatment). They quote Karpov's assistant Albert Stepanyan:
Quote :

Albert Stepanyan, assistant to the 12th world chess champion Anatoly Karpov , spoke about the condition of the grandmaster.
“Anatoly Evgenyevich Karpov is now conscious. He's fine, he's on the mend. He is being treated, but he has not been discharged yet,” Stepanyan said.
Earlier, Izvestia reported that Karpov was in an extremely serious condition, and he was connected to a ventilator.

This was three days ago, November 5th. So a bit more hopeful news, at least from the former world champion's inner circle.
