    The body double of Russia's apparently dead President Vladimir Putin is now very ill, leaving Kremlin officials panicking.<\/p>\n

    The double, which has allegedly been in charge of Russia since a Kremlin source claimed the real Putin had died last week, is now suffering from what can only be described as a bad case of man flu. The source, posting once again on the General SVR Telegram channel, claims that this new development has caused chaos inside the Kremlin on the same day that a secret memorial service was set to be held for the real Putin.<\/p>\n

    The source said: \u201cThe understudy of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who now permanently replaces the deceased head of state, has fallen ill. Nothing critical so far, just snot, cough and fever. The first signs of illness appeared last night, and today his condition has worsened somewhat. The next week should be full of events and meetings with the participation of the 'President', and some of it may have to be cancelled.<\/p>\n

    \u201cNow the double is cherished like the apple of his eye \u2013 neither Patrushev nor anyone else in the Russian government has a Plan B if something happens to the backup.\u201d Nikolai Patrushev is Russia's Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and is thought to be the one pulling the strings of the body double.<\/p>\n

    The Kremlin has constantly denied that Putin has been suffering from health issues and is, or could be, dead, and that a body double is being used or even exists \u2013 but the source on Telegram continues to claim otherwise. When rumours first surfaced, Putin\u2019s spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed that it was all just an \u201cabsurd information canard\u201d<\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cThis belongs to the category of absurd information hoaxes that a whole series of media discuss with enviable tenacity \u2013 this evokes nothing but a smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
