The Kremlin denied claims that 70-year-old President Vladimir Putin had lookalike body doubles and spent much of his time in a nuclear bunker.

In a lecture on Russia’s history after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, the origins of the Ukraine war, and Western society’s perfidy, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov highlighted what he called fabrications.

“You have probably heard that he (Putin) has very many doubles who work instead of him while he sits in a bunker,” Peskov said at a Moscow conference, laughing: “Yet another lie.”

“You see yourselves what our president is like: he always was, and is now, mega-active – those who work next to him can hardly keep up with him,” he remarked.

He’s energetic. Wishing for his wellness. He doesn’t bunker. “This is another lie,” Peskov said.

Putin, Russia’s president since 1999, has denied rumors of illness.

During a formal visit to Moscow last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Putin he believed people would back him again in a 2024 presidential election. However, Putin has not announced a second term.

Putin promised to stop the 1990s turmoil in post-Soviet Russia, but the invasion of Ukraine is the worst military crisis any Kremlin leader has faced since the Soviet-Afghan war of 1979-89.

Putin has pledged to tilt toward China as the Ukraine crisis has sparked the worst Western-Russian rivalry since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
