The Kremlin’s spokesperson tried once again on Saturday to dispel the insistent rumours regarding Vladimir Putin’s reported use of body doubles.<\/p>\n
Upon delivering a speech at a new national exhibition in Russia, Dmitry Peskov appeared keen to stress there is only one Russian president around.<\/p>\n
He said: “We have only one Putin!” Making fun of reports and speculation on the topic, Mr Peskov added: “Now the \u2018experts\u2019 are guessing \u2013 there are three or four of them and who we now see every day.<\/p>\n
“This morning they laid [flowers] at the [monument] of Minin and Pozharsky \u2013 this is the third or fourth ‘double’, it\u2019s not clear.”<\/p>\n
This isn’t the first time Mr Peskov has tried to quash similar rumours.<\/p>\n

This brings nothing but a smile [in the Kremlin]”.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong>
