‘Definitive Proof’ Putin Uses a String of Body Doubles Amid Assassination Fears

Vladimir Putin may not be the man the world thinks he is. In fact, he may not even be one man.

Radar has uncovered explosive new intelligence suggesting the Russian leader is using a rotating cast of body doubles to dodge assassins, stage public appearances, and confuse foreign governments — a covert operation insiders say is now running “at industrial scale.”

Putin, 73, is reportedly so terrified of being killed that his security team has turned deception into a full-time survival method. And the proof, investigators say, is now impossible to ignore.

Sir Richard Dearlove — the former head of Britain’s legendary MI6 — dropped the bombshell with stunning certainty.

“He absolutely uses body doubles,” Dearlove told Radar. “There will be times when Putin simply cannot appear in public. The risk is too high. A double goes in his place. It’s standard security for a figure who knows people want him dead.”

Dearlove didn’t sugarcoat the danger.

“Assassination is woven into Russian political culture,” he said. “Putin knows that. His team knows that. That’s why this deception is now routine.”

According to intelligence insiders, these stand-ins aren’t random impersonators. They are trained, rehearsed, and drilled to copy Putin’s physical quirks — down to the tilt of his head and the pacing of his stride.

For years, analysts have scrutinized images showing dramatic changes in Putin’s appearance — not over decades, but sometimes within days. A narrower jaw. Different ear shapes. Shifting posture. Even a changing smile line.

Now experts say the inconsistencies are not aging. They are evidence.

“The photographic anomalies are overwhelming,” one intel source told us. “You’re not looking at one man. You’re looking at a rotation.”

The most damning evidence comes from Japan.

A major TV network, TBS, used advanced AI facial recognition to examine Putin’s public events. The results stunned specialists — and humiliated the Kremlin.

The AI confirmed that the Putin presiding over the Victory Day parade was likely the real leader.

But the Putin visiting the Crimean Bridge?
Match score: 53 percent.

In Mariupol?
40 percent.

Crimea again?
A jaw-dropping 18 percent — essentially a statistical declaration that the man wasn’t Putin at all.

“Experts would classify this as a non-match,” TBS reported. “It strongly supports the presence of multiple body doubles.”

Ukrainian intelligence sources say the Kremlin has perfected the double system.

“These men are groomed to behave exactly like Putin,” a Ukrainian operative told Radar. “They study hours of footage. They train their muscles to mimic his movements. They are coached by specialists. Their job is to keep the real Putin alive — by becoming him.”

Another source said the Kremlin deploys the doubles like decoys.

“It keeps the world guessing,” he added. “And it keeps Putin breathing.”

Since the Ukraine invasion, Putin’s schedule has become eerily inconsistent. Events appear staged. Camera angles stay tight. Public walk-throughs happen only in controlled environments — often with suspiciously limited visibility.

A high-ranking Western intel figure put it bluntly:

“At this point, there’s no guarantee the man you see on television is Putin. In fact, the odds are dropping.”

If Putin is rarely seen…
If his doubles are everywhere…
If even AI can’t confirm he’s in the room…

Then who is actually running Russia?

A senior intelligence official gave us the chilling takeaway:

“When a nuclear superpower is fronted by a leader who may or may not be present, the world is dealing with shadows. And shadows can be dangerous.”
