According to Daily Star the Russian leader enlists a stunt double for Kremlin meetings and as a “decoy” on excursions
According to Daily Stara Putin impersonator lives in the presidential complex in Moscow – also known as “Putin’s Palace” – and has been trained to “walk like the Russian leader”.
A source close to the Kremlin told the Star: “We know that Putin is paranoid regarding his safety and this move only shows how seriously his team is taking the threat to his life. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we hear news of the Putin’s death and the reason given will be a heart attack or a long-term illness “. “I doubt they will admit it was an internal coup,” the source added.
This isn’t the first time a Putin lookalike theory has become popular online. In an interview with Russian media in 2020, a reporter asked the president: “You’re real?”. He was also shown various internet search results for conspiracy theory. Putin confirmed that he had been offered a double for “personal protection” during the conflict in Chechnya, but declined the offer.
