Vladimir Putin has been 'neutralised' by a stealthy coup as rumours about his health and well-being
The Daily Mail ^ | 3/15/2015 | Will Stewart

Vladimir Putin is 'alive' but 'neutralised' as shadowy security chiefs stage a stealthy coup in Moscow, it was claimed last night.

Former FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev was behind the plot, claimed chairman of the pro-Kremlin national Islamic Committee, Geydar Dzhemal.

Snip...

'I think that Putin is neutralised at the moment, but of course, he is alive,' said Dzhemal, seen as a Kremlin loyalist. 'He is under the control of the power-wielding agencies, who have, in my opinion, organised a coup d'etat.'

snip..

'My information is that Patrushev met Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov in Pyatigorsk on 11 March and tempted him over to his side.'

With feverish speculation in Moscow over Putin's health and whereabouts, and claims of a bitter power struggle in his entourage which could even trigger an attempted coup, the head of Chechnya spoke emotionally of people 'trying to harm the president of Russia - and Russia itself'. And he claimed that forces were scheming 'to break us apart', referring to him and his guarantor Putin.

snip...

The voices of prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of the Kremlin staff Sergei Ivanov - and Putin's intelligence tsars - have remained silent. Kadyrov has enjoyed extraordinary power and largesse under Putin as a reward for keeping an iron grip on the rebellious oil-rich Chechen region, scene of two bloody wars since the collapse of the USSR. As a result he is hated by many senior Putin loyalists. But Kadyrov's enemies claimed yesterday that the 38 year old bearded regional potentate is in 'panic' because he can no longer contact his mentor. 'He is phoning anyone he can in an attempt to arrange a talk with Putin - but he fails,' alleged a website linked to Islamic hardliners seeking to overthrow Kadyrov.

President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet and paratrooper units to go on full alert as part of snap military exercises in the Arctic, RIA news agency quoted the defence minister as saying on Monday.”

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/16/us-russia-military-exercises-idUSKBN0MC0JO20150316

This is so far only in the Russian text: The duration is March 16 - 21 and the central command will have exercises starting Mar 17:

Perhaps there is another explanation: Shoigu needs this to take control over Russia, and was it really P that gave the order?

His spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin was in good health, dismissing the rumours as “March madness.”

Independent internet TV channel Dozhd (Rain) said on Sunday, quoting sources, said the Russian president had been knocked down by the flu and retreated to his residence on Lake Valdai in the north.

Well it was fun while it lasted. Where's Putin? The best of the memes

Mr Putin did not address the issue while answering questions from reporters summoned for the occasion, saying only: "It would be boring without gossip."

I would just call it PDS (Putin Derangement Syndrome).

Putin's back....at his meeting..and recorded on video as well....I watched the video and something was said about his absence creating such a windstorm of intrigue....Putin doesn't laugh all that often in his interviews but when he laughed about this so did I ...I understand he mentioned something about Rumors keeping people occupied who haven't more to do...ha!!! But I think the man enjoyed the hype...no matter where's he's been...at least he did at that moment...it did get pretty funny as it went along

@Kabaeva_Russia

Twitter identities are notoriously forgeable, but I tend to believe that one. Not sure why. That woman has more than one purported Twitter account.

Whether it accounts for Putin's absence is another question.
