The Kremlin chief's guards have taken unprecedented security measures.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's guards have taken unprecedented security measures before May 9, 2026, when propaganda military parades will be held in Russia. Yandex.Maps has obscured the image of the Kremlin master's residence in Valday, writes Radio Liberty.
Radio Liberty journalists noted that Yandex had previously obscured only military facilities and enterprises of Russia's military-industrial complex on the satellite map.

But in 2026, the situation has changed. The reason is the increased capabilities of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to launch long-range strikes against military and strategic targets on Russian territory.
This year, the Ukrainian army has begun to launch strikes with long-range missiles and UAVs against Russia's strategic and military targets at very long distances. For example, in April, Ukrainian long-range UAVs flew to the Urals for the first time, and attacked targets in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions.

As for dictator Putin's residence in Valdai, a powerful echeloned air defense system is being built around it. For example, in March 2026, seven new towers with Pantsir MANPADS appeared there.
In addition, in April 2026, the Russian security service FSO began forcing officials to surrender their watches, whether mechanical or electronic, before meeting with Putin. Russian security services fear that the watches could, for example, be used in an assassination attempt on Putin.
