There are several versions of the diagnosis of the Kremlin “fuhrer” . One of them is Parkinson’s disease and cancer. And if you can live with the first, then the second problem sooner or later leads to death.

Everyone remembers the video taken two months ago when Putin met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. During the greeting, his hand was shaking violently (see the video on the Daily Mail ), and already sitting in a chair, the dictator held tightly to his handle. The legs also “danced”, it was not easy for Putin to control their movements.

The same thing happened at a recent meeting with Defense Minister Shoigu , at which Putin still firmly grabbed the edge of the table, as if trying to hide anxiety and hand tremors.

What do experts say about Putin’s state of health?

Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist and former adviser on Ukraine and Russia, said Putin and Shoigu were “depressed and apparently unwell” in the video. Most likely, their health deteriorated due to severe stress against the backdrop of failures in the war with Ukraine.

Professor Eric Busey, a body language expert at Texas Tech University, told The Sun Online: “This is a strikingly weakened Putin compared to the man we observed a few years ago.

“A healthy president wouldn’t need to support his arm while holding onto a table, and wouldn’t bother keeping both feet on the ground. This is not a portrait of a healthy Putin, but one who looks increasingly weak and barely able to keep himself upright.” position at a small negotiating table,” Bucey added.

Putin’s puffy face and neck have prompted claims that he is undergoing steroid treatment, and it has long been suggested that Putin is constantly accompanied by a doctor who specializes in thyroid cancer . Evgeny Selivanov, a surgeon at the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital, flew at least 35 times to visit the Russian leader in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. And hardly just to see the president. By the way, the dissertation of this doctor, reflecting the area of his medical specialization, was called: “Peculiarities of diagnosis and surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients with thyroid cancer.”
