Moscow, October 9: Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to go out with a band like Adolf Hitler. Experts suggest that Vladimir Putin could have celebrated his last birthday this year as fears of another coup by his own people have started to do rounds. Several experts agreed that the Russian President is considering "going out with a bang like Hitler" instead of facing the humiliation of a coup.

On Saturday, October 7, Vladimir Putin celebrated his 71st birthday. According to a report in Mirror.Co.UK, experts believe that the Russian President could take his own life rather than leave his position as Russia's President. They also said that Putin could have celebrated his last birthday this year. It must be noted that the Kremlin has been facing infighting and disagreements ever since Putin invaded Ukraine last year. Vladimir Putin Survived Assassination Attempt?

Putin To Take His Own Life?

The rumours are also gaining momentum as earlier this year, the Russian President almost saw his end when troops of the Wagner Group led by chief Yevgeny Prigozhin attempted to overthrow Putin. However, the potential coup was called off later. Now, an expert said that if dissidents decide to take Vladimir Putin, then the Russian President could take his own life like Adolf Hitler in 1945.

The expert, identified as Professor Anthony Glees, told the Sun that Putin could use this option instead of facing the humiliation of being stripped of his power. "He may be looking at the golden pistol on his desk thinking, yep, time's up. If he is sufficiently terrified, yes he could reach for that gun. That would be the answer and the new dawn would come up upon us," he added. Vladimir Putin Backs India As Permanent UNSC Member, Says 'Country Becoming More Powerful With Each Passing Year Under PM Narendra Modi's Leadership' (Watch Video).

Professor Glees also said that there are two ways Putin's scourge could be taken away from the people. Firstly, if the Russian President is killed, and secondly, a coup that would lead to Putin being overthrown from power. For several months, reports have claimed that the Russian President has been replaced by a body double amid the belief that Putin has already passed away. However, there is no official confirmation.
