The topic of Vladimir Putin's mysterious double is resurfacing. Information about the alleged ill health of the man said to be replacing the dictator has appeared online. According to posts on the Telegram profile of General SVR, half of the senior officials in the Kremlin are already ill.

The Russian account on the Telegram channel General SVR has been providing tabloid stories about Vladimir Putin since 2020. The channel's creator has stated that former and current members of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service and other government agencies run it.

The "General" claims to have full confidence in his "sources." He also maintains that Vladimir Putin is dead and is being replaced by several doubles.

"Health crisis" in the Kremlin

General SVR has once again published revelations about Vladimir Putin's double. According to the channel's sources, the man replacing the dictator from the Kremlin has serious health problems.

"The man appointed as the president of Russia and resembling Vladimir Putin has been feeling ill for several days. The 'president' has a cough, snot, sore throat, and joint pain. For this reason, 'Putin' has a light schedule: it is either a phone call or one appointment a day. Despite the risk of catching an infection from the 'president' some very interesting people met with him," General SVR reported a few days ago.

He added that along with Putin's double, other senior officials from the Kremlin are also complaining about health problems. General SVR even suggests that this might not be a coincidence.

"Several have been diagnosed with COVID-19, while the rest have tested negative. Now, the Politburo is debating whether this is an accident or a diversion. Interestingly, almost all of the sick people belong to the same tower," General SVR reports. He calls the situation a "health crisis."
