Russian President Putin’s ‘body double’ is named for the first time as a fourth-rate carpenter from Belarus
An alleged body double for Vladimir Putin has been named as a ‘fourth-rate carpenter’ from Belarus, claimed to have survived an assassination attempt.
Yevgeny Vasilyevich was identified as the ‘main doppelgänger’ for the Russian president today as it alleged he had been poisoned with ‘toxic substances’.
He ‘developed rashes on the skin of the upper and lower extremities and on the neck, which doctors initially mistook for an allergy’, elusive Russian Telegram account General SVR asserted today without providing evidence.
The channel, renowned for its audacious claims about Putin’s health, is among several sources claiming one or more Putin lookalikes are regularly deployed as body doubles for the 71-year-old, a theory supported by Ukrainian military intelligence.
Vasilyevich was also said to be a ‘fourth-rate carpenter’ from Belarus, according to a Russian political analyst.
