    Russia's President Vladimir Putin has allegedly used a body double again, with sources claiming the real Putin \u201conly speaks to doctors\u201d now.<\/p>\n

    Since first ordering his troops to invade neighbouring Ukraine, the despot has been dogged by rumours of his imminent demise by way of failing health. This has been accompanied by rumours of him constantly using body doubles for public appearances.<\/p>\n

    And the latest appearance of the fake Putin was allegedly during a high-profile trip to China . . . with the country's leader Xi Jinping seemingly aware of the entire thing. Political scientist Valery Solovey, who studied at the London School of Economics, said: \u201cThe extraordinary claim would mean that it was a fake Kremlin leader who was today seen flanked by Russian naval officers carrying his nuclear briefcases with the secret control to launch a hypersonic atomic war.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe fact is that the current President Vladimir Putin is living out the last days of his earthly life, not months, and not weeks, but precisely the last days due to terminal illness.\u200c He is currently, like in previous months, being successfully replaced by his double \u2013 the double even goes to Beijing, and the Chinese side know very well who they are dealing with.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u200cTelegram channel General SVR, which claims to be run by a Kremlin insider, echoed this view saying the meeting with Xi was the most \u201cexciting\u201d for the double\u2019s handlers.\u200c Solovey claimed that Putin\u2019s leading security adviser and war hawk Nikolai Patrushev, 72, holds the \u201ctrump cards\u201d as head of a \u201clarge coalition\u201d in the race for the succession, however, \u201cthis does not mean that the victory of Patrushev\u2019s coalition is predetermined,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

    The Chinese went along with pantomime in the hope that the doppelg\u00e4nger's role would facilitate the existing group around Putin securing the succession, it was claimed.\u200c Ukrainian channels today seized on an image of Putin speaking behind a flower bedecked lectern in Beijing, claiming that \u201cPutin is emerging from his coffin\u201d.<\/p>\n

    General SVR channel said that \u201cimportant differences\u201d with the real Putin were \u201cvisible\u201d in Beijing \u201cdespite the careful preparation of the understudy\u201d for the meeting with Xi and other world leaders. \u201cThe fault is again with the double's \u2018floating\u2019 cheekbones, which do not stay in place and move in different directions,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe double initially had less expressive cheekbones, which, as a result of plastic surgery, were 'enlarged' and made similar to Putin\u2019s cheekbones, but it was impossible to make sure they stayed stationary in the right places.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Kremlin has, however, constantly denied that Putin is ill or dying.<\/p>\n
