Reports of Putin’s Death Were Greatly Exaggerated. But That Doesn’t Stop This Rumormonger
Wall Street Journal - MSN ^ | 2/10/2024 | Alan Cullison

Over the past few months, a Russian political scientist named Valery Solovei has stoked a global frenzy with a sensational claim: that Vladmir Putin died last year and today is represented in public by a body double. The Kremlin’s elite, Solovei tells his half-million online followers, controls the double and has stuffed Putin’s body in a freezer.

Then on Thursday, journalist Tucker Carlson aired a two-hour interview with Putin. Solovei shrugged it off as a sham. Carlson, he said, interviewed Putin’s doppelgänger, who will now be passed off as real to millions of viewers in the West. “Putin is dead, irreversibly dead, he will not rise again, he will stay in the freezer,” Solovei said in a broadcast earlier this week.

Carlson declined to comment. The Kremlin, which often denies Solovei’s reports, didn’t respond to emailed questions.

The channel reported in October that Putin, who it says has long suffered from ill health, went into cardiac arrest at his dacha at 8 p.m. and that a team of doctors rushed to the scene and tried to resuscitate for 42 minutes later and then pronounced him dead.

His passing has been hushed up by Putin’s longtime protégé, Nikolai Patrushev, head of Russia’s security council, the channel said. After depositing Putin’s corpse in a freezer, Patrushev kept the doctors locked in a room at the dacha but let them return to their homes a day later after they signed nondisclosure agreements, the channel reported.

Putin’s purported death has spawned hand-wringing in the Kremlin elite about what to do next, the channel reported in its written dispatches. While the doppelgänger has in the past helped the elite rule while the ailing president was alive and incapacitated, now they worry about the legality of using him dead.

Tell “Putin” that Poland didn’t start World War 2.
