Vladimir Putin is dead – this information regularly revolves around the planet in the form of many fake news on social profiles, telegrams and in mainstream media and this somewhat little mainstream. This time the Russian president was about to die of a heart attack. In this next explanation of Putin's death, can it be a seed of truth, or is it part of a planned disinformation campaign? Let us consider all the possibilities – who cares about spreading specified rumors? What would consequence from the death of the Russian dictator? How long and would the information about his departure be kept secret? Welcome to the reading!
Vladimir Putin is dead – which time is it?
I read in 2014 that Putin had 3 years to live due to the fact that he had cancer. In the meantime, it turned out to be a blood cancer, then a malignant pancreatic cancer. Let us add that, of course, respective news about Putin's alleged death on COVID-19 appeared during the pandemic. Well, so far, no of the news has worked. This does not mean, however, that no of them included a gram of truth. Why? due to the fact that we're dealing with a man who has unimaginable assets and has access to treatments that are not within the scope of most people. With specified measures, he could have won the fight against the disease, although the predictions were not favorable to him.
"Russian president Vladimir Putin died tonight at his mansion in Waldaj. At 8:42 p.m., Moscow time, doctors interrupted the CPR and stated death" – this information appeared on the General SVR telegram channel. What is the level of credibility of this source? Unfortunately no – despite the fact that the channel is being watched by more than 400,000 users, it has repeatedly been criticised for spreading false information. However, let us presume that the General SVR is actually run by individuals from the highest elites of the Kremlin and the information presented on it is true.
Suppose Putin is actually dead – who can keep this information secret?
Whose business could it be to hide the fact about Putin's death? They may be people from the closest vicinity of the Russian chief – it may be a conflict for time to build the foundations for a smooth take over of power. Following the revelations of the General SVR channel, specified acquisition may be prepared by Nikolai Patrushev, manager of the national safety Service of the Russian Federation. According to General SVR, for respective months it has actually run the country and is preparing to officially take over government rudders. It is worth remembering that the Russian elites are divided – there will surely be supporters and opponents of the “new leader” among them, so it may be time to conduct a cleanup and better start fresh governments.
Confirmed news of Putin's death would surely have a negative impact in the Russian economy. And here's another reason for delaying information about the death of the Russian dictator. The message that Putin is dead, and Russia is in danger of chaos, would surely have had a much worse impact on the course of the ruble and the Russian stock exchange than the delayed information specified as "Putin died 2 weeks ago, but we have everything under control, the state of the economy and the situation in the country since his death are liable for the most competent people in his surroundings."
Suppose Putin is alive – who spreads fake news about his death?
What if all the information about Putin's death is fake news? Whose business would it be to sow them? Andrij Jusov, as quoted by the Republic of Ukraine, claims that spreading information about Putin's alleged death is an interior gameplay among Russian elites. In his opinion, these actions aim to verify the attitudes of elites and pro-government media – next year elections will be held in Russia, which will most likely win Vladimir Putin one more time (if he is alive). Therefore, the explanation that these fake news truly come from the Russian government is rather probable – Marcin Strzyżewski in his YouTube material tells more about it. The Master of Russian Philology is happy to address topics related to the countries of the erstwhile USSR.
What if Putin's been dead a long time?
Putin has at least one, and possibly 2 doubles – nipponese researchers utilizing AI to identify voice and facial features came to this conclusion. In fact, watching different recordings with Putin can be given the impression that we are dealing with akin but different people. Is Putin alive, but presently for safety reasons, sending his doubles to places like Mariupol or the Crimean Bridge? Or possibly he's been dead for a fewer years and now we're dealing with his doubles controlled by the Kremlian elite?
Unfortunately, for now, we can only argue. The only confirmation of the Russian dictator's death is unofficial information from a telegram account, which in the past has been repeatedly accused of spreading fake news.
