Actually, everyone in Russia knows that real Putin died of cancer in 2008. Right now there are several doubles, such as “RoundFace”, “SquareFace”, “Manly Putin”. Some people also may say that there are also “Speaker”, “Diplomat”, “Udmurtian”, “Kuchma” and even “Party Putin” that can drink if needed
It’s common knowledge in Russia
This might be a really dumb question, but are body doubles even like an actual real thing?
I can see how they were on like medieval times when no one actually knew what anyone they hadn’t met in person looked like, and if some fancy guy surrounded by guards was supposed to be the king he was probably the king.
But in modern times with photos and mass media and Internet I don’t think anyone would fall for it.
Outside of like…stunt doubles? Not that I am particularly aware of, and definitely not in the way these articles try to frame it.
Could a decoy motorcade or something be sent out? Yes, that is possible and probably advisable when the CIA wants you dead. But you don’t have other people pretend to be you and make public appearances and give speeches at your behest.

Every time i read about it seems to be all allegiations coming from this being really a TV trope - and indeed the place where the doubles are undoubtledly used is the movie scene. Libs of course tend to believe in 50 body doubles of Saddam Hussein and that half of world leaders at any given time are dead and secretly replaced.
I remember during the Iraq war this same shit rag had headlines every other day about Saddam being dead and his body double being in charge.
Then they would show a bunch of guys with moustaches in berets.
“All nonwhite people look the same” moment
Also, not gonna lie, I really wish Putin would just finally die so that the Communist Party can finally have a chance.
for that to happen, the current kprf leadership has to die as well
One of their pieces of evidence is…a missing watch? You know those come off right? Like…I take mine off every evening and don’t even wear it every day.
Putin having immortal diseases since the start of SMO .
