Previous Warden theory

But he's not an epic Wizard away from the Gates because he's the Gatekeeper. It so happens that the Gatekeeper is also an epic Wizard the rest of the time too. Which could apply to the Warden as well, but doesn't have to apply.
(Maybe 100 years from now, Harry will be an epic-level Wizard away from the Island, too. Right now he is not.)

This suggests that Kemmler's last stand was nowhere near Demonreach.

Like Rasins, I don't read that as confirmation...but at the same time it isn't denial, and the 30 October date is interesting. I could imagine that the Tsar Bomb going off was somehow involved in the sequence of events. Maybe the Council used a Russian nuke as part of the ongoing battle, or tricked Kemmler onto the test site, like a grander-scale version of Morgan and Shagnasty.
To borrow a line from Jaime and Adam, I consider this one "Unconfirmed, but plausible."

A theory I have no evidence whatsoever to support, but could possibly fit,
Perhaps Kemmler managed to pull off the Darkhallow. But perhaps it was diverted to a mostly deserted part of Russia so there wouldn't be the death toll needed to fuel his ascension. A failed Darkhallow could weaken Kemmler enough to make it possible to kill him off for good. Especially if whatever he did to keep himself from getting killed had to be turned off so he could fundamentally change himself to ascend.

I could see that. Or they struck when he was vulnerable the same way Harry cracked Cowl in the jaw with his staff.
