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.

Yes. Right hand in Russia.
Gotcha. I don’t know any Russians. Though they seem to be taking over parts of the Jersey Shore…
This practice guarantees the continued sale of newspapers like The Sun, The Guardian and The Daily Mail...
Right hand...Russian practice?
and the first words they teach all the Poo-tin lovers is...
Yep.
The agitprop specialists at The Fail would soil themselves terminally.
Now do Princess Harry.
It's likewise amusing you continue to white-knight for your knuckle-dragging, child-rapist troglodytes.
Grandpa, tell us again the story about how Russia is justified in having their soldiers gang rape children, level entire cities, AND engage in genocide by expelling a million Ukrainians to Siberia.
I apologize to any actual troglodytes being compared to the above parties.
The retards that write these headlines are complete clowns.

I think the writers know this is over the top and absurd, but the purpose is to get clicks. And today, with rare exceptions, newspapers don’t do news they do gossip and propaganda to get clicks to drive ad revenue. Stories at most newspapers today are one step above the writing of tabloids like Weekly World News or National Inquirer.
Hitler’s Parkinson’s??? You mean his jonesing due to his opium addiction
I understand what you are saying. But how would you characterize Hitler’s disease (in the writing of a headline?)
On a more serious note, I always thought Hitler’s shaking was a result of non stop shelling for a long time. Constant stress will generate the shakes. I know that from personal experience (not war, but extreme stress for weeks.)
I like it
...AND engage in genocide by expelling a million Ukrainians to Siberia.

What are you going on about? It’s early in the afternoon to be drinking.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!
you trolls sure seem to be running low on BS to post here.
and your BS continues to decline in quality..
How many weeks now(per DM) since the Russians have eaten??
“Many historians and experts believe that Hitler was suffering from Parkinson’s disease at the time the video was filmed.”
Well, he was reportedly heavily addicted to amphetamines by this time, which can also give one “the shakes”.
So just do it.
“I’m at a loss as to why the DM hasn’t been zotted from the FR.”
Oh, boohoo, the mods won’t censor sources that I don’t like!!!
So just do it. winking face
If the shoe fits, you really should wear the dress too.
May as well read Pravda, neocon.
