'What's Wrong With Him?': Russians Discussing Sudden Change In Putin's Appearance

Doppelganger or new plastic surgery?

Russian social networks once again drew attention to the strange metamorphosis in the appearance of Kremlin chief Putin, who the day before appeared on video during a protocol shoot.

Users noticed that the cheeks on the Russian president's face have swollen, suspecting new plastic manipulations around his appearance, reports dialog.ua.

Users speculate that 71-year-old Putin is actively preparing for the upcoming presidential election, trying to get younger and to please the Russian audience, to appear younger than his real age.

Experts earlier they noted that the head of the Kremlin, in all likelihood, had resorted to plastic surgery several times.

Some users noted that the constant changes in Putin's appearance fuelled rumours about the presence of doppelgangers.
