The speaker of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, began to convince that Putin has no doubles. This is all happening against the backdrop of unverified information about the alleged “death” of the head of the Kremlin. The Russian people have a serious request on this topic.

Russian opposition political strategist Abbas Gallyamov told Channel 24 about this, noting that Peskov did not specifically comment on the information about the death of Putin and his doubles.

In Russia, Peskov’s meetings with the press are held from time to time in different formats. He comments on the information provided by local media representatives.

Russia has a request for Putin's “death”

As Gallyamov noted, the local media see that the Russian population has a public demand regarding the “death” of Putin. People grabbed information from telegram channels and other incredible sources.

People want it all to end; for everything to become normal again. They want to return to the situation that was before February 24, 2022. The version that Putin is gone gives them hope. “They don’t see any other hope,” says Gallyamov.

According to Gallyamov, Russians do not believe that they can overthrow Putin in elections. They also don’t see how they can organize protests to overthrow the government. They want to get rid of Putin, but at the same time they want not to strain themselves on this issue.

In this sense, the version of “death” is ideal. So he took it and died. You don't need to do anything. There is immediate hope that things will get better. People began to believe in this as a New Year’s miracle,” Gallyamov noted.

• Already on October 26, they were convinced that Putin had “died” and that the country seemed to be ruled by a double. Subsequently, the head of the Kremlin could be seen at a conference call.
• Ukrainians took the information about Putin’s “death” jokingly. Many memes have appeared on the Internet.
