The Kremlin had to deny once more that Putin has a body double. It said on Saturday, “We have only one Putin.” This came after rumours that the Russian President had died ten days ago and was replaced by one or more lookalikes. Last month too, the Kremlin strongly denied Putin’s death at his Valdai home north of Moscow. A Telegram channel called General SVR, which often claimed the Russian President had cancer and was dying reported his death. However, these reports were false, and the former spy has mostly kept away from Russia’s religious leaders since then.
