I created this poll at the end of 2023 for a reason.
I was listening to some Russian opposition figures, especially Valery Solovey. Maybe some of you have heard of him. He claimed that in 2023, around the time I created this poll - on October 26 or 27 - the real Putin had allegedly died.
That made me interested in hearing your opinion. Has Putin died? Do any of you also believe that Putin died? There are many different opinions on this topic.
It can also be said that there have long been claims that Putin has body doubles. Some people believe there are at least two or three of them.
There is also Igor Girkin, who is now in prison in Russia. He pointed out something that also caught my attention. He said that it sometimes looks as if there are several Putins - the real Putin and one or more doubles. According to his opinion, the real Putin appeared only in situations where he was completely alone and nobody else was around him.
One of the last examples he mentioned was a video of Putin at Zhirinovsky's grave. Girkin wrote that he thought this might have been the real Putin.
There were also rumors that Putin had COVID, suffered serious health consequences, and had an incurable cancer. According to those rumors, he died at his residence and his body was kept in cold storage.
I want to emphasize that these are only rumors. There is no confirmed evidence that they are true. Some people even ask did Putin died, has Vladimir Putin died, or did Putin died in 2005, but those are simply questions and rumors that continue to circulate online.
There is also an opinion that, if these rumors were true, Patrushev might now be the person making the key decisions while Putin has long since died. Again, I want to stress that this is only an opinion and not a confirmed fact.
That is why I am interested in hearing your opinion. What do you think about this?
