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

Last month, the spokesman branded as an “absurd hoax” the suggestion Putin was using body doubles.<\/p>\n

A few days later, Mr Peskov had to step out once again to try and put an end to damaging rumours regarding Putin’s leadership after a Telegram channel called General SVR had claimed without providing evidence that the 71-year-old president had died and a body double would continue to lead the country for the time being.<\/p>\n

Mr Peskov said of this unsourced report: “These [kinds of stories] belong to the category of fake news, discussed with enviable tenacity by a number of media outlets. This brings nothing but a smile [in the Kremlin]”.<\/p>\n
