A leading war expert has claimed that the real Russian President Vladimir Putin is actually a “gibbering wreck in a straitjacket”.
Professor Anthony Glees, speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, was reacting to several recent reports of Putin using a body double because he is at death's door.
Another report also claims that he will be “dead by Autumn” due to severe health issues.

However, the Kremlin has often rubbished the claims, and has been insistent on maintaining the premise that Putin is “alive and well”.
But Professor Glees, from the University of Buckingham, is having none of it.
He said: “ I honestly think we may be seeing body doubles.
“The real Putin may be now be a gibbering wreck in a straitjacket.
“Think Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector, or think Adolf Hitler after 1944, shaking, glazed eyes, stooped, endless injections of gland serum from slaughter houses obtained by his doctor 'prof Morrell', mixed with crystal meth.
“We don't trust Putin further than we can throw him, nor should we, but we shouldn't put our faith in illnesses dispatching him.
“The only way we'll be rid of him is by destroying him physically, by winning the war he started – we shouldn't wait for the Grim Reaper.”

Nobody is quite sure what is actually wrong with the ageing leader, but Professor Glees was adamant that news of various cancers or Parkinson's disease should be “disregarded”.
Most of the claims have come from various “sources” over the last 18 months or so, with no proof being provided.
This, Professor Glees points out, is called “black propaganda”.
He explained: “As I understand it, pancreatic cancer is totally debilitating and other cancers and Parkinson's generally weakening and debilitating, and no one can have these diseases for two years without (at best) showing major symptoms or (at worst) being dead.

“I could go on about Putin's mental health at some length: he's a murderous psycho, with a long track record of killing innocent men, women and children, not to mention those he thinks have betrayed him, like Prigozhin.
“He's under massive strain and he knows this strain will crack him, unless he's so bonkers that he thinks he is God and can live forever – he knows he is losing a war he started, he's bringing Russia to its knees, economically and morally.
“What we see is his steely, cold emotionless poker face, the face of a KGB killer.
“It's what he wants us to see, but is it real? Of course not.”
