Moscow (AFP) - Where is President Vladimir Putin? The Kremlin was forced Thursday to insist the Russian leader was in good health as rumours swirled online over his week-long absence from the public eye.
Putin was last seen in public on March 5 when he met with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and, ever since he postponed a trip to Kazakhstan this week, Russians have grown increasingly curious about what their usually omnipresent leader is up to.
The 62-year-old nurtures a fit, tough-guy image and rarely takes time off.
"There's no need to worry, he's absolutely healthy," Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Echo of Moscow radio station on Thursday.

That’s an interesting poem. Is it an excerpt or the whole thing? Do you have a source for it? I’d like to share it around.
“your love of Putin and constant apologias, fawning, sycophancy, lickspittle, and propagating for him don’t mean a whit to a free man.”
Go away, Troll.
Where Lenin lies the red flag flies, and the rat-grey workers wait
To tread the gloom of Lenin's Tomb, where the Comrade lies in state.
With lagging pace they scan his face, so weary yet so firm;
For years a score they've laboured sore to save him from the worm.
The Kremlin walls are grimly grey, but Lenin's Tomb is red,
And pilgrims from the Sour Lands say: "He sleeps and is not dead."
Before their eyes in peace he lies, a symbol and a sign,
And as they pass that dome of glass they see - a God Divine.
So Doctors plug him full of dope, for if he drops to dust,
So will collapse their faith and hope, the whole combine will bust.
But say, Tovarich; hark to me . . . a secret I'll disclose,
For I did see what none did see; I know what no one knows.
You got assassinations, murder, a terror bombing, a wild Canuck in a bar...good stuff.
Robert Service? Ok. I have an anthology of his lying around somewhere (doesn’t everyone get one when they go to Alaska?). This is cool.
Palace revolution in the Kremlin, maybe?
You post constant fawning comments for Putin and think anyone noticing it and mentioning it means he’s a troll? Hahhhahha. LOL. Dude, you can’t be singing Putin’s praise constantly, this 17-year careerist scum from the KGB, and then wondering why someone points it out. You’re like a Clintonista who gets upset by those who say he’s a loyal Clinton man.
Twitter vid and pics showing two “Presidential” helicopters landing at the Kremlin in the last hour, one on a street level pad, and one on the Kremlin’s rooftop pad.
Could be something, could be nothing, but it sounds as if this isn’t a usual thing.
He clicked Hillary’s “Reset” button and got deleted.
If Putin leaves the picture, any void could likely be filled by guy named Vladislav Surkov, supposed to be a real hard-liner.
I’ve heard the name a few times over the last year, but don’t know much about him.
Surkov is the one that Kiev blames for the Maidan Shootings. He used to be a Deputy Prime Minister, but became an advisor to Putin in June 2013.
Some sources I’ve read refer to him as “The Grey Cardinal”.
How long till that picture of you manning the Russian anti-aircraft gun surfaces, Jane?
This is now on top of Drudge via a NY Times article....
When did Putin release Hillary’s emails?
Just wondering if there is any connection here?
I know the CIA has the “heart attack guns” that makes it look like you died of a heart attack.
Here is a 1 minute video of the CIA testifying in front of congress about it.
