Amid rumours about his poor health, a video showing Vladimir Putin's shaking hand as he greeted Belarus's leader resurfaced this week.
The clip, which was filmed just before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, showed him gripping a chair and pressing his hand to his chest to stop it shaking as he greeted Alexander Lukashenko.
It fueled further speculation of the state of his health after footage and images appeared to show his bloated face and slouching posture.
But the scenes of Putin's apparent struggles are reminiscent of a clip that showed Adolf Hitler's own failing health as Germany faced total defeat in the Second World war.
In what was one of the last times the dictator was seen alive outside of his Berlin bunker, a propaganda video filmed in April 1945 showed him decorating members of the Hitler Youth who had been called up to defend Berlin.
The film was supposed to show how Hitler was still in command, even as the Soviet Union's troops closed on the capital.
But a telling part of the footage was cut from the final version and was supposed to have been destroyed.
The clip, which was discovered in an East German film laboratory in the 1970s, showed the Nazi leader's left hand shaking violently as he held it behind his back while greeting military officers during the same trip outside his bunker.
Many historians and experts believe that Hitler was suffering from Parkinson's disease at the time the video was filmed. The condition hampers muscle control and impairs mobility.

bears the hallmarks of Hitler's Parkinson's disease...
Oh, so now Parkinson's is Hitler's fault? LOL! I guess everyone who has Parkinson's is Hitler. The retards that write these headlines are complete clowns.
This is at the level of: “Michael J. Fox is Hitler.”
Having the shakes doesn’t make you Hitler.
I’m at a loss as to why the DM hasn’t been zotted from the FR. Maybe these DM articles should go in the humor category?
imagine how much paraquat laced choom obama has smoked.
This is an odd article
At least Putin isn’t shaking hands with ghosts and talking to giant pink rabbits.
Next they’re gonna say Putin is on meth like Hitler was.
Interestingly enough, Hitler rejected the use of chemical weapons to help defend Germany as the Allies closed in. Historians have proposed a number of theories to explain why. Hitler himself was gassed in WW I. Perhaps it was too inhumane, even for him. Or maybe he just feared a like retaliation.
Anyway, would Putin have similar restraint?
Putinistas + Daily Mail = Extreme Antibody Reaction
Shakes also occur from alcohol withdrawal, MS, anxiety issues, stroke, brain tumor, speed usage, and tardive diskinesia.
On her right hand?
You’re no Elon Musk.
