Putin and Biden have one thing in common. Neither one can openly face their people.
There’s also his 400,000 man Praetorian Guard:

Note that Ramzan Kadyrov the Chechen terrorist is one of the key men in that palace guard unit. Given the way Praetorians have traditionally had first dibs on leadership transitions, if Putin dropped dead, Russia might get its first Chechen ruler, courtesy of Putin. Heck - a Chechen almost ended up replacing Yeltsin:

9mm... armor piercing? I want some of that!
Always wanted to get into 5.7 too. I wish the P90 didn’t look so goofy.
Most impressive.
What about his food?
So, I guess just making a quick midnight dash to the Russian equivalent of the White Castle is a ‘No Can Do’.
Any horses he rides bareback will have their foals taken as hostages to guarantee their good behavior.
I call B.S.!
How are they supposed to dissipate excess body heat when the ambient temperature rises? Pant like a dog?
Fine "bodyguards!" If they don't perspire, they will keel over in no time flat!

Is there anything in this description that is different from how a US president or any other major world leader is protected? I suspect that the US Secret Service does all of these things.
What a load b.s.
Putin literally plays pickup ice hockey games and drives around the city himself. Escorted by security no doubt. But the portrayal of him here as a complete shutdown is false just like so much else of this propaganda.
Saddam Hussein did the same, but Vlad does it 20x better and 20x more intensively.
I seriously doubt that they use AK-47s, as that hasn't been the frontline Russian rifle in decades.
When you’ve got a United States senator publicly calling for his assassination can’t blame him for being paranoid. Wonder if he keeps the launch codes close.
Learned his lessons very well in the KGB. He’s not stupid.
Now tell us how Soros is protected.
9 mm SR-1 Vektor: reliable and quite ergonomic, it’s quite acurate for a service pistol. Very powerful round, especially armor piercing one that can deal with lvl 3 hard plates. But it’s expensive and have a limited availability for some law enforcement agencies.
No different that the security for the president.
Just like us!
Putin doesn’t fear the future as much as he does his past catching up with him.
