Russian President Vladimir Putin will “die” before the end of Autumn, a top political scientist has claimed.
Valery Solovey made the bold claim during an interview with Russian opposition YouTube channel Khodorkovsky Live.
He was discussing his recent claims that Putin has a body double, as he is “terminally ill” and hasn't been seen in public for real since the start of 2020.

But he has now gone one step further and claimed that the despot is actually at death's door, and that confirmation of his demise will come very, very soon.
He said: “As soon as Putin dies, we will know about it in a few hours.
“This will be reported, we will find out about this – because there are too many interested parties, both outside Russia and in Russia itself, for this information to become public knowledge.
“This will happen before the end of autumn.”
He didn't specify what was going to kill him, however.
The channel he spoke to was actually set up but exiled Russian businessman Mikhal Khodorkovsky, who interviewed the political scientist.

Rumours of Putin's ill health have dogged the leader since he first ordered his troops to step foot into Ukraine in March, 2022.
From cancer to his bowels basically falling out, the Kremlin has constantly maintained that the despot is in “good health”.
However earlier this week, adding fuel to the fire, top Ukrainian plastic surgeon Dmytro Slosser said, in conversation with Turkey's Kanal 24 TV: “The fact that Putin has a double felt like a conspiracy theory a year or two ago, now hardly anyone doubts it.”

He drew attention to the way Putin often appears to have a limp arm, but sometimes it is his left arm, and other times his right.
“His left arm swung freely as he walked on arrival in his presidential jet in Vladivostok.
“I gathered a couple of videos, one from Tehran in July 2022, where we can see that his right arm is indeed numb.”
