Putin Complains That Friends Stopped Recognising Him

What's the reason?

Russian President Vladimir Putin suddenly complained in Anadyr about communication problems with his school friends and classmates during meetings. According to him, he sometimes meets with them and they often look at him and say: "I don't believe it... Is it you? Or not you."

The Moscow Times reports that.

It is not known under what circumstances Putin holds such meetings. The participants of events with him are usually sent to quarantine. In 2020, it was up to two weeks, later it was reduced by half.

In the autumn of 2023, the Kremlin had to answer questions about lookalikes several times a month and assure that Putin does not use the services of "doubles".
