Kremlin is forced to deny growing rumours Putin suffered cardiac arrest just days ago and regularly...

Putin

Rumors that President Vladimir Putin had a heart attack recently were denied by the Kremlin, and they dismissed suggestions that he employs look-alikes to take his place in public.

"He's doing well, that's just another untrue story," claimed Dmitry Peskov, the representative for the Russian government, today in response to a news article about Putin experiencing a major health incident on Sunday night.

When asked about body doubles, Peskov laughed and rejected the notion that Putin had any.

Peskov stated that there are no replicas or duplicates in regards to work and related matters.

He stated: 'These types of stories are classified as false information, which some media organizations discuss with admirable persistence. This only brings joy to the Kremlin.'

This is the second instance in 2021 where Peskov has had to give a statement denying rumors regarding the utilization of body doubles, which are often associated with alleged health issues concerning Putin.

On Tuesday, there was a meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Denis Manturov, who is both the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade. Putin listened attentively to Manturov during the meeting.

According to some people, the way the Russian leader looks has varied throughout the years. This has led to suggestions that he may use a body double for events he would rather avoid or that pose a threat to him. There was a lot of talk about this idea in June, when he was seen taking photos with young girls in Derbent.

In a new photo featuring Putin and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, the Russian head of state is seen looking swollen and with patchy skin.

According to Peskov, the president, who led Russia into a harmful war with Ukraine, is in good health and shape. He dismissed the rumors as an absurd lie.

Putin, someone who loves judo and has always portrayed an image of a man who takes action, recently celebrated his 71st birthday on October 7. There have been rumors about his poor health for many years.

The General SVR Telegram channel, which frequently claims that Putin has been diagnosed with cancer, made a new claim that he experienced a "cardiac arrest" on Sunday night.

The network claimed that all recent public appearances made by the Russian leader, such as trips to other countries, were carried out by a person or persons acting as his lookalike.

According to reports, Putin was revived by doctors and subsequently transferred to a particular medical center within his official place of living.

According to the channel's report, medical professionals carried out life-saving measures after concluding that the president had suffered a heart attack. Assistance was timely and the doctors successfully restarted Putin's heart, which led to his regaining consciousness.

As per sources, the channel is being operated by a person who used to hold a high-ranking position in Kremlin and goes by the fake name of Viktor Mikhailovich. The channel asserts that the lookalikes are under the supervision of trusted aides and security personnel of Putin.

During an interview in 2020, Putin dismissed the persistent speculations about him having body doubles. However, he acknowledged that he had been presented with the option of using a body double in the past for security purposes.

However, some people who watch closely have noticed that the Russian leader's appearance has evolved throughout the years. They believe that this may be a sign that he uses a stand-in on occasions that he either does not wish to attend or deems too risky.

In June, there was a lot of guessing when Putin unexpectedly went to the southern Russian city of Derbent, shortly after the Wagner rebellion didn't work. Video footage depicted Putin wading into a large crowd at night, similar to how a Hollywood celebrity would walk down a red carpet.

It appeared that Putin had gained a renewed surge of liveliness, following his successful prevention of a minor civil conflict the previous week. This was quite untypical of his usual reserved and distant demeanor, as he took the time to engage with people on a personal level. He even surprised everyone by warmly greeting a young girl, affectionately planting a kiss on her head. The girl was ecstatic and begged her mother to take a picture of her with the president.

In another strange occurrence, he greets an officer who is carrying a briefcase that could possibly contain the nuclear codes. He also seems to fix something on the officer's uniform.

He has never greeted his security personnel like that before.

The situation was very different from the severe actions taken over the past few years, which have imposed strict isolations for anyone not in Putin's inner circle prior to meeting with him.

Many people, including important individuals in Russia, are speculating that the person who greeted fans in Dagestan, and was praised by the Kremlin for his impressive change in behavior, was not actually Putin himself, but a stand-in.

At the Kremlin in Moscow on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin was present during a meeting where he listened attentively to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov.

It has been a while since Putin interacted with crowds in this manner, prior to the outbreak of the pandemic.

As speculations persist about Putin's declining health, this news has emerged.

Last week, Dr Valery Solovey, who studies Russian politics, stated that Vladimir Putin, the current President, is in the final stages of his life on earth.

Solovey used to work as a professor at the well-known Institute of International Relations in Moscow, which is a learning center for individuals pursuing careers as diplomats and spies.

He has made a commitment to provide additional information regarding Putin's well-being later this week.

The leader of Ukraine's military intelligence, Lt-Gen Kyrylo Budanov, has claimed that nobody has seen the actual Putin since June 2022.

Last month, he mentioned that the person who used to be well-known had been spotted for the last time on June 26th, 2022.

A recent TV report from Japan utilized advanced technology to assess the appearance, movement, and speech of Putin in various instances. The report deduced that he may have used at least one, or potentially two, individuals to act as his body double.

Putin has embarked on journeys to Kyrgyzstan and China, and has displayed an unusual amount of movement within the borders of Russia.

He made a trip to Perm the previous week. Afterwards, he stopped by the military headquarters before heading to Rostov-on-Don to have discussions with his war leader, General Valery Gerasimov.

The network alleges that these individuals are not the real Putin, but have instead undergone extensive plastic surgery and intensive training from Russian secret services in order to impersonate him.

During this week, he has organized gatherings with government representatives in Moscow. Recently, he was observed coordinating with Denis Manturov, the vice premier and head of the trade and industry department.

Back in April, Peskov confessed that there were many rumors circulating about people who resemble Putin, but he argued that the controversial leader is incredibly active and not one to start conflicts.

"He said that you might have come across the rumor that Putin has several look-alikes who take his place while he hides in a bunker. According to him, this is completely untrue and just another falsehood."

Look at our president. He is still very active, just like before - mega-active.

Putin acknowledged that his assistants had inquired whether he would like to employ lookalikes, a tactic utilized by past leaders of the Kremlin, such as Stalin and Brezhnev. Putin disclosed that he declined this proposal.
