Putin and "doubles"

We study the “front -line business trips” of the Russian president to find a terrible

In the past few months, we have been observing like two different Putins.

One - shows extreme caution, if not paranoia. He meets with his own ministers and the heads of foreign states only at a huge table ; A rare microbe, not to mention the snuffbox, will reach the middle of this table.

At a meeting with journalists, he sits so far that there is not enough moat with genetically modified crocodiles between them for the completeness of the entourage, whose eyes are built -in Peresvet lasers.

On the acceptance of the verifying letters from the ambassadors, he stands at a giant distance, - states that we still have quarantine and does not shake their hands, at a meeting with Central Asia representatives, one occupies half a giant round table , at the Caspian summit in Turkmenistan a square table , but the effect can be the same: in the middle of the table, the world football championship can be held. And when Putin arrives at the Piskarevsky cemetery, snowdrifts are disinfected there.

Even at the fatal meeting of the Council of People's Commissars on February 21, 2022 , the very one where, in fact, he declared war, the brave leader did not find the strength to approach a crossbow shot to his associates. All these people-vaccinated, transposed, withstanded two weeks on quarantine and, probably who surrendered feces, sat from Putin at the same distance as Chinese officials from the Qin dynasty closed by the curtain. If only they put the throne, by golly! It would not be funny.

In addition, we know that Putin, like Kim Jong-un,, because of the aircraft fear , equipped a special armored train and even paved a special railway that employees serving Putin pass tests several times a week and sit on a quarantine in solitary issues that he was sitting alone at the Olympiad in Beijing, which in his residences of equipment was equipped with three identical ones The cabinet is so that the enemies do not know where he is (so King Herod never spent the night in the same bedroom), and that he is now building not palaces, but bunkers (however, a palace type).

What exactly is Putin afraid: microbes, snuffboxes, American “tomahawks” or everything together, is difficult to say.

Perhaps he has weakened immunity. Perhaps he has psyche problems. In any case, long -term insulation obviously did not benefit him. How sarcastically noticed the author of these lines Mikhail Khodorkovsky,

Thanks to isolation, those processes that were supposed to occur when Putin was hit by 90, began to happen right now.

Because, it seems, no one was allowed into him in the bunker except Kovalchuk with stories about the expansion of NATO, transgeev and combat mosquitoes.

One way or another, a leader who is not afraid to arrange a war in a neighboring country, but is afraid to approach his own ministers - of course, will enter all textbooks. And not political science, but psychiatry.

But all this applies to only one Putin - the one that we have seen for two years.

But in the last six months, another has appeared. This Putin personally travels along the Crimean bridge (though it is mainly removed on this trip of his back of his head), visits the Night Mariupol car behind the wheel (where it turns on the turnips and stops at traffic lights!), And even on a helicopter visits front-line territories (though the helicopter blades on the video do not rotate, and the front is still 150 km from the place of the trip).

There, our brave Putin, bravely neglecting the deadly bacteriological threat, greets the hand with the generals and even random residents of Mariupol; He personally opens an art school in Sevastopol and gives the generals a secret weapon - no, not an “Armato” and not a new REB, but a wonderful icon. The icon, apparently, will save from the Armed Forces and turn shells into shells from nuts.

Naturally, such a difference in behavioral patterns made many skeptics suggest that we have two different Putins. Putin Moscow and Putin is genetic, so to speak. Well, as, for example, in ancient times was Apollo Delphi and Apollo Dima. And all these statues were material containers of the same God. “That's Putin,” the skeptics think, “one in two faces. It’s good that not three. ”

Are there any grounds for such suspicions?

To begin with, let's carefully analyze what exactly - and how - we see during Putin’s fed trips to the front. We’ll say right away that a person in these videos is indistribly similar to Putin. If there were differences, then experts and modern recognition systems would be noticed immediately. So.

The first trip took place in the area of ​​December 5, 2022 . The Kremlin distributed a four -minute video showing Putin's visit to the Crimean bridge blown up in October.

In the video, Putin (or a person who looks like him) goes personally while driving along the bridge, he mutters near the restoration of the bridge Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin. The operator from the rear seat removes mainly Putin’s head, and a couple of times his eyes in the rear view mirror.

Putin reaches a renovated area, walks along the bridge, hanging a low hood on his head, then caught on and pushes him back, exposing his head. Several people are waiting for him in the middle, where Putin in bacteriological deserts (all the microbes carries away with the wind) speaks with them, leaves.

The second trip took place around December 21, 2022 . Then the Kremlin said that Putin "visited his zone." This statement was extended a few hours after Zelensky arrived in Bakhmut. How quickly it turned out, there was a “zone” ... the headquarters in Rostov-on-Don. That is, Putin visited the bunker in Rostov and called it a trip to the front. Prior to this, Peskov crucified for a long time that Putin was about to visit the front, and, of course, an explosion of laughter in social networks was a response to this fearless trip.

A month later, Putin on the anniversary of the annexation suddenly flew to the Crimea. It would be possible to expect that he will meet the jubilant crowds: otherwise what is the meaning?

But no: instead, the Kremlin’s press service distributed footage , how Putin opens the Korsun Art School as part of the creation of the Tauride Historical and Archaeological Park. There are no archaeologists or schoolchildren in the video. Putin, in an empty room surrounded by security and few officials, Metropolitan Tikhon Shevkunov talks about “the biggest excavations in the world”.

Immediately after that, Putin visited Mariupol - apparently on March 18 or 19. The Kremlin press service distributed a 31-minute video about this visit e. It can be seen on him how Putin himself drove from the airport at night. Towards - cars, some streets are not blocked. Putin turns on the turn signals before turning, slowing down, in one place lingers in front of the traffic light. To the right of him - again Khusnullin.

In an absolutely deserted night city, they enter the playground. There - in the middle of the playground! - There is a wooden stationery table. Khusnullin lays a pack of painted pictures on the table and begins to tell (night, table, empty city) about trilli herds of renovated objects. He informs Putin that the city was demolished by Ukrainian Nazis.

“It is very clear what they did,” says Khusnullin, “where we advanced, on our side, there were no wars at all. And from their side, direct fire was beaten with tanks. I tell you as a builder. ” Putin - in the middle of the destroyed city - hears.

(I wonder how Khusnullin will explain the words of the Khodakovsky Z-patriot: “We demolish everything that the enemy can use as a shelter, and therefore such consequences”?)

“Medical devices - everything was mined,” says Khusnullin.

Agree, this is a surreal picture. Liberator Putin came to the liberated city. Where Ukrainian Naziks demolished houses and mined equipment. And he, Putin, restored this city.

Well! The crowds should meet him!

All streets of the city should be hundreds of thousands of people. And here there is a liberator in the fresh air in the middle of a night deserted painted playground,

And Khusnullin shows him to the restoration of the city. On a wooden table.

Where is the grateful population?

However, the population immediately appears - in five or six copies. An exalted elderly woman tells Putin that “we pray for you” and “this is a small piece of paradise”. Putin goes up to the house. In the kitchen, the unexpectedly complained guest accidentally set the full table of food - but the guest, of course, does not try: what if they are poisoning! Someone is a lonely scream: “This is a window dressing!”, It remains behind the scenes.

Putin goes on. Inhibits at a traffic light. He comes to a completely empty university. He enters a completely empty lobby. Rises to an empty conference room. Where are the grateful students?

And finally, the fourth trip is the last. The video about this trip was widespread on Monday, after the President Zelensky visited Avdeevka, which Russian artillery washed from the face of the earth. From the place where Zelensky was, to Zero was five km. Let me remind you that the 120-mm mortar beats at six.

The place that Putin visited was the village of Lakorivtsevo near Genica in the Kherson region - about 150 km from the front line, no Himars will reach.

As always, the video had a lot of air and few people. Neither Shoigu nor Gerasimov accompanied Putin. But he met with Generals Teplinsky and Lapin. Let me remind you that Lapin is the same general, on whom Kadyrov and Prigozhin were entrusted with wine for the failure of the Russian offensive; And then, during the small army counter-transmission, Lapin was rehabilitated and even appointed by the deputy Gerasimov on the front.

The meeting was demonstrative: the generals loudly imagined who they were. They said - Putin was silent. He greeted their hand. An interesting detail is that at the headquarters,

When Putin asked to report the situation, the generals did not look at him. This is very unusual for the Russian general,

who always eats the authorities with eyes. Or they believed that it makes no sense to look at this person, or they were asked not to breathe in his direction.

We have already talked about the miraculous icon, we only note that Putin clearly gives it to the generals in some basement against the background of the Russian flag. He unpacked her for a long time, says for a long time. But at the same time it is not obvious where exactly this video was shot. Theoretically, generals could call in Moscow, keep for two weeks on quarantine and hand over the icon. And shoot the rest with an understudy. It is handing the icon that Putin says fatal: "Here Easter is soon." Although his visit allegedly took place on Monday after Easter.

So: all these videos make an extremely strange impression. Why? Repeat.

Well, firstly, this should be a public visit by a public policy. We know what such visits look around the world. Crowds of the jubilant people, sidewalks, fenced by cordons, and access to the press.

Instead, we see a person who is literally sneaking in the nights, like a tattoo. A particularly terrible impression is a trip to Mariupol. Her whole goal is to tell Putin how awesome he saved the city. Here were the Nazis who shot at home direct fire, and now Putin saved everyone, restored everything, "this is a small piece of paradise."

And instead of grateful crowds, we see an extravaganza. The night desert city, Putin and Khusnullin are standing at a wooden table in the middle of the courtyard (!), And Khusnullin tells Putin about trilliards of restored houses and communications.

The university, in which, according to Khusnullin, can study 6 thousand people is empty. Putin goes through huge empty halls and enters an empty conference room. It sits in the ground there for a second. Khusnullin sits down a few chairs from him.

This is some kind of zombie apocalypse. Putin and Khusnullin travel around the empty city, stand on an empty playground, examine an empty university - all under the continuous stories of Khusnullin about a flowering city.

The same - and the rest of the video. On the Crimean bridge in the fresh air of Putin, instead of workers, a tiny group of statists meets. In Sevastopol, Putin, instead of reaching the people, opens a children's center without children.

Of course, you can say that these are front -line visits, war, secrecy - but not at all. Mariupol - in deep rear. Sevastopol - in the rear. The Crimean bridge even legally relies on Russian land at one end. Well, the guards are afraid that the evil Ukrainian Nazis, having learned about Putin’s visit, will adjust the truck again (the operation, the preparation of which took several months), the television sports will be trained to the blocked bridge and undermine our everything. But who interfered with workers on the Russian end of the bridge?

Zelensky's visits are also sudden. But they are removed by a bunch of people. People (with weapons in their hands) turn around, amazed: president! They raise phones, take pictures. Nobody outsiders removes Putin, because there are no strangers. And there are almost no their own. There are few people, except for protection-once or twice and expected, always, when it is possible and even when it is impossible, they meet in the fresh air, where the microbe is not terrible.

What conclusions can be drawn from this?

There are two of them theoretically. One is that this is not Putin at all. Double: made up, selected. It’s not at all necessary to even be a double in ordinary life, this is also a paranoic dictator,-what if the double will be set instead of him? Where to keep it, how to feed it? Cinema makes miracles, look at the Body Double Queen Cersei in a well -known scene of King's Landing walk.

Look at the movie "Vysotsky. Thank you for alive ”, where the double of Vysotsky plays without any plastic surgery.Four hours of makeup and a set of plastic parts - nose, forehead (all separately) - cost 30 thousand dollars. Well, if in the many -hour film the protagonist was made in a close -up so that not to distinguish, then what can we say about the dubious quality of night filming.

A double can be explained by a minimum of spectators and a minimum of cameras. God forbid who begins to shoot from an unauthorized angle, like Zelensky in Bakhmut or Avdeevka.

The most important argument is that this is a double: he greets the hand, which Putin never does. Putin Moscow gives a hand only Xi Jinping - the status of the vassal obliges.

But the second answer is even simpler and more prosaic. Before us is the same inhabitant of the bunker - infinitely isolated from the world, infinitely disinformed. And his visits are his own in his own way to a caricature attempt to really figure out what is happening around: will he misinform about the Kyiv Nazis? Or about combat mosquitoes?

This is a heroic, by his standards, sortie, into a terrible world where people, microbes and hostile energy fields live. This is just a feat comparable to the acts of Siegfried or Achilles, it is almost Alexander Sailor. Moving in vigilant care for the good of the people, our hero left a pure, convenient, disinfected bunker and, without sparing his abdomen, personally delivered an icon to the front. He personally became convinced that Mariupol was destroyed by the evil Kyiv fascists, and he, Putin, restored. Khusnullin told him about this in the middle of the night Mariupol, showing a bunch of pictures on a wooden table. He, Putin, was personally convinced that there was a bridge. And then they will deceive, scum. And, most importantly, - the visit “to the front” to Lapin and Makarevich without Gerasimov and Shoigu. “Putin is convinced that the army leaders are deceiving him,” one of the Kremlin insiders told me. “He thinks that, having arrived there, he will receive a complete picture.”

Everything also fits into this picture. The complete absence of people. Visits to night desert conference centers. A clear preference for open spaces.

Putin sincerely wants to break out of the bunker, but in fact wherever he comes, the bunker expands to the scale of his visit.

The strongest argument for the fact that this is not Putin, - he greets the hand. The most powerful argument for the fact that this is Putin-he still minimizes the number of people around and prefers open vyvirus spaces. And in general, if this is a double, then why don't he go to the front? Why is all this an empty city, an empty university, an empty bridge? Well, even if the double falls under fire, so he will then resurrect! It will be even cooler: ours-risen!

I can honestly admit: I sat down to watch these videos, believing that they were a double. Their viewing my confidence was more likely destroyed. If Putin really left Moscow, he would have behaved like that. And hello by the hand? Well, who knows. Maybe then he willing his hand with alcohol. But what is clear is that Putin’s behavior is far, far beyond the norm.
