Putin DOES use body doubles and has ‘clean zone’ where staff have to quarantine before getting close to him, Russian investigation claims

Putin does use body doubles and has a “clean zone” where employees must quarantine before approaching him, a Russian investigation claims.

The degree of Putin’s distancing is noted in a report by the Russian media outlet Proekt.

According to the report, people who constantly accompany the Russian president spend time in the so-called “clean zone” – a boarding house where only people in quarantine live and work.

They can leave their rooms and are allowed to roam around the designated area. The Sochi sanatorium “Rus” was initially used as such a zone, he adds.

Since then, “clean zones” have appeared in other regions important to the president.

Investigators studied Fr.Official events in which the president took part from November 1 last year to October 31 this year amounted to 521.

According to the report, 43 percent of them had the president clearly keeping his distance from his interlocutors in some way.

In total, 113 video meetings were held over the year, including almost all Security Council meetings and all meetings with the government, the report notes, adding that when Putin really needs to communicate with people in person, the Kremlin resorts to “wild security measures.” ‘.

According to the report, the number of meetings in which Putin did not social distance but was “likely to force other people into quarantine” was 185 – almost 36 percent of the year’s total.

The investigation comes after Putin bizarrely refused to stand within 70 feet of Britain’s new ambassador to Moscow at a diplomatic ceremony this week, blaming it on “sanitary reasons”.

In awkward scenes reminiscent of the height of the Covid pandemic, Putin insisted on keeping a huge distance between himself and other diplomats at a Kremlin event where he accepted the diplomatic credentials of several new ambassadors to Russia, including Britain’s new envoy to Moscow, Nigel Casey. .

Since the invasion of Ukraine began, there have been a number of double reports about the Russian president.

The Project notes that before the start of the coronavirus pandemic, there were practically no events on the president’s schedule at which he would remain at an unnatural distance from those gathered, contrasting with his behavior during the dates under investigation.

Putin, a judo enthusiast who has long cultivated the image of a “man of action”, turned 71 on October 7 and rumors of his ill health have circulated for years.

In a 2020 interview, Putin denied long-running rumors that he uses doubles, although he said he had been offered the option of using one in the past for security reasons.

But observers point to the Kremlin leader’s changing appearance over the years as possible evidence that he is using someone else to replace him in tasks he either doesn’t want to do or finds too dangerous.

Rumors spread in June when Putin made a surprise visit to the southern Russian city of Derbent just days after Wagner’s failed uprising, and footage showed the despot ducking into the night crowds like a Hollywood actor on the red carpet.

Seemingly infused with new energy after averting a small-scale civil war a week earlier, the usually stoic and isolated Putin acted uncharacteristically personable, shaking hands and kissing the head of a young teenage girl who admired him and begged her mother to take a photo of her with the president.

In another strange moment, he shook hands with an officer who may have been adjusting something on his uniform, and perhaps adjusted his nuclear briefcase.

He had never greeted his security forces like that before.

The situation was markedly different from the extreme measures of the last few years, when, before the meeting with Putin, a strict quarantine was introduced for everyone outside Putin’s inner circle.

His transformative behavior, which the Kremlin called “astonishing,” led many, including senior Russian figures, to fuel speculation that Putin greeting adoring fans in Dagestan was in fact a doppelgänger.

Russian political scientist Dr. Valery Solovey said in October: “The fact is that the current president, Vladimir Putin, is living out the last days of his earthly life.”

Solovey is a former professor at the prestigious Moscow Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), an academy for training spies and diplomats.

The head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Lieutenant General Kirill Budanov, said that the real Putin had not been seen since June last year.

“The one everyone knew was last seen around June 26, 2022,” he said in September.

A recent Japanese television report used artificial intelligence to analyze Putin’s face, gait and voice in several speeches and concluded that he does use one, and possibly two, body doubles.

Putin made trips to Kyrgyzstan and China, and also traveled unusually extensively in Russia.

In October he visited Perm and held talks with his military commander, General Valery Gerasimov, in Rostov-on-Don after a “detour” to visit military headquarters.

The channel claims that all this is being done by doppelgängers who have undergone plastic surgery and years of training in the Russian secret services to act as Putin’s understudies.

In April, Peskov acknowledged that there were many reports of Putin doubles, but said the warmonger was “mega-active.”

“You may have heard that Putin has several doubles who work for him while he sits in the bunker,” he said. “This is another lie. This is another lie.

“You see our president. He’s the same as he was before – mega-active.”

Putin acknowledged that his aides had previously asked him if he wanted to use doubles, a common procedure for former Kremlin leaders Stalin and Brezhnev. The Russian President said he rejected this scheme.
