I saw a movie about that.
The remake could be called Moon Over Moscow. Daniel Craig could play the dual role of Putin/Actor Blackmailed into Impersonating Putin.

Nikolai Patrushev gives speech about Putin in past tense Vladimir Putin's rumoured death has taken a stunning new twist after his top security aide and the man tipped to succeed Russia's president referred to him entirely in the past tense during a bizarre speech.
Speculation has swirled around Putin after General SVR, a Telegram channel thought to be left by a Kremlin insider, claimed he died from a heart attack and that body doubles had been put in his place. The Kremlin has furiously denied the rumours.
But Nikolai Patrushev – a former head of the FSB security service who has been backed to one day succeed Putin - was dressed all in black as he made odd references to the Russian president last week in a video that only emerged today.
The Secretary of Russia's Security Council: "Tired of the dashing 1990s, [Russian] society was waiting for the solution of social and economic problems and strengthening of national security.
"It required a leader who could put the welfare of the population at the top of the agenda, display the highest human and organisational qualities, will, and dedication.
"Such a leader was Putin, who first served as Prime Minister, then was elected President and, in accordance with the Constitution, became Chairman of the Russian Security Council.
"He knew in detail the state of affairs in the country, had a clear programme of action, saw the goal, imagined the tasks that should be solved to achieve it, the sequence of steps, as well as the necessary forces, means and resources.
"At the same time, he realised the critical importance of an evolutionary approach as opposed to revolutionary leaps, always weakening the Russian state.

If you really believe this idiocy, prove it. If Putin is shown somewhere alive in the next week, you contribute $100 to the present Freep-a-thon. If he's dead, I'll make the contribution.
Oh please. What do you expect him to do? Fly to Russia and dig up Vlad from the garden bed?
You must really not possess the ability to read an article and use your reasoning skills to determine if it’s true or not.
Or are you so upset by Putin’s death that you have become inconsolable and frustrated?
Maybe Republicans should start talking about Biden using the past tense.
have there been any unusual troop movements?
Send ‘em Nikita Kucherov. If nothing else he’d add some slapstick to the regime, and he’s used to handling lots of hockey. It’s not like the Lightning can win a game to save their souls.
May it be so!
Grasping at straws. Reading too much into a stylistic choice.
This is purportedly from Nov 9. Is that really him ?

Well, it’s bound to be an accurate report one of these days. Even Senator Feinstein eventually died.
Sounds fair enough to me and FR gets a $100 donation either way.
The trouble is that UkieYipYappers have demonstrated countless times that they have no integrity. I wouldn’t trust a UkieYipYapper to hold up his or her end of the deal.

You and your ilk a bat sh#t crazy. Russian Derangement Syndrome has retarded your minds. You're a danger to all of us.

Next week from sWill Stewart at The Daily Fail: The Patrushev has stomach cancer. 
The Patrushev is dying.
Putin is dancing in your head.
Propaganda has worked overtime to make Putin the new Hitler and made the whole thing his fault. His death would not mean a Ukraine Victory. The new leader of Russia might be more hard nosed. It would be like replacing Hitler with Himmler. Watch out what you wish for!
