The alleged body double of Russian President Vladimir Putin is apparently now \u201cbored\u201d of running the country, a source says.<\/p>\n
Wild claims that Putin died two weeks ago have been denied by the Kremlin but conspiracies remain rife of a lookalike replacing him in the seat of power. Doubters are now convinced the double is out and about despite testing positive for coronavirus.<\/p>\n
And despite having to be regularly \u201crevived\u201d by doctors so that he can be wheeled out for public appearances after suffering from a whopping temperature of 38.8c, it is now thought that the double is \u201cbored\u201d with being Putin \u2013 and he also scared the life out of medical officials during a trip to a hospital to visit sick children.<\/p>\n

The latest claims, posted on the General SVR Telegram channel by someone who says they are a \u201cKremlin insider\u201d, state: \u201cHaving recovered a little from his illness, the double of the Russian President, having taken medications that blocked the symptoms, set to work. Yesterday was a difficult and eventful day for the understudy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cA visit to a children's medical centre, where a doppelganger could infect staff with Covid, turned out to be demonstrative. The 'President' was given a short excursion, during which he was frankly bored \u2013 the main goal of visiting the medical centre was a beautiful picture, and it was achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, in one picture published by the Kremlin, a medical official at the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Centre for Paediatric Haematology, Oncology and Immunology looks horrified as the double shakes hands with one of the medical professionals there. And after the meeting, the doppelganger want to meet China's Central Military Council, Zhang Yuxia \u2013 which saw officials label the Russian an \u201coutright idiot\u201d.<\/p>\n

'Half-dead' Putin double running Russia keeps passing out from 'severe Covid fever'<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The source added: \u201cIn the process of discussing various issues, the understudy again said a lot of nonsense, which caused bewilderment among the interlocutors. We have already said that the double is an outright idiot, but the way he gushes with nonsense exceeds the limits of the curators\u2019 patience and the ability to perceive even a completely loyal viewer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man said to be the \u201ccurator\u201d is actually Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev, whoi has been pulling Russia's strings since the strange sage began.<\/p>\n
Despite the continued claims from the source, a third denial over the death came from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov last week, when he was attending the opening of a new Russia exhibition at the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy \u2013 also known as the VDNKh \u2013 which Putin was meant to attend, but his appearance was cancelled earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Russia rarely comments on rumours around Putin's health, but has now done so three times in two weeks.<\/p>\n
