Both Dmitry Gordon and Mark Feygin are confident that Putin has only one double, and not many, as was claimed on the Internet.
The head of the aggressor country, Putin, does have a double, but he does not replace the dictator at public events.
This opinion was expressed by Russian human rights activist and blogger Mark Feigin in a conversation with Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon.
“I agree that there are operational non-public doubles. They “We need them to quickly create some kind of safe space for him. Because there may be an assassination attempt on one, the other will remain. To stir things up – there are doubles, who to kill, one or the other. They (Putin's entourage – Ed.) paranoidly feel a threat “, says Feigin.
The human rights activist believes that doubles are not needed to publicly represent and replace Putin publicly, because this is very dangerous.
“Because Putin is being watched by various experts, intelligence communities, people who understand physiognomy. Therefore, it is very difficult for an expert not to notice such a substitution. Impersonating another person involves thousands of parameters, starting from the timbre of the voice, the shape of the eyes, etc. Of course, Now, with the help of modern technologies, it is possible to repeat it. But it is very difficult to convey the manner of thinking through speech. If this was still possible, we will find out about it later, when everything is over. If there is confirmation that, for example, it was a double who acted instead of Putin in Mariupol, I will be very surprised. So far, all the facts indicate that there are doubles, but these are operational doubles, and not publicly replacing Putin. Non-public doubles,” concluded Mark Feigin.
In turn, Dmitry Gordon noted that, according to his information, together with Putin’s actual family (that is, with his mistress Alina Kabaeva and their common children), the dictator’s double also lives in Valdai.
“The only double. A man who has had a lot of plastic surgery. He actually lives next to Putin, watches him, communicates, adopts some things. And it’s almost impossible to distinguish them. They say what distinguishes them only the eldest son Ivan,” said Gordon.
