According to a report by the “Daily Star” on January 1, during the New Year period, Putin’s pre-recorded speech was less than four minutes long and was broadcast at different times in different time zones in Russia. So far, millions of people have watched it.
In the video, Putin can be seen standing in front of the Kremlin covered with snow, praising the people’s “unity, kindness and resilience.” He also addressed the armed forces fighting in Ukraine: “We are proud of you, you are heroes and you feel the support of the entire population.”
Although the content of the speech sounded normal, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that there was something unusual about Putin’s appearance, and the video immediately went viral on the Internet.
Igor Sushko, an activist from the Winds of Change Research Group (WCRG) think tank, highlighted the area around Putin’s tie, writing on the X social platform (formerly Twitter): “New Year for Putin The speech is computer generated. Please pay attention to the neck area of the avatar.”
Sushko believes that “the Kremlin’s behavior is very strange.” This video, which has been described as CGI, has accumulated nearly 12 million views so far.
He said: “This will definitely intensify domestic rumors about something wrong with Putin himself, including unconfirmed claims that ‘the real Putin is dead’ and that his stand-in is sick.” Sushko also pointed out that, like As with previous speeches, the video posted on the Kremlin website is in 360p, not 720p (HD).
Ukrainian politician Anton Gerashchenko also expressed skepticism about the video. He highlighted the same area as Sushko on X: “Putin’s New Year’s Eve speech. What happened to his chin?”
Several netizens also responded to Gerashchenko below, suggesting that the clip was generated using artificial intelligence.
Rumors that Putin has died and been replaced by a series of stand-ins have been circulating in Russia for some time.
The General SVR Telegram Channel, allegedly led by Kremlin insiders, claimed that Putin died in October last year due to multiple health problems. A heart attack is rumored to have been the final blow to Putin.
The channel also claimed that Putin’s body was “in a refrigerator at his Valdai residence, a luxurious woodland palace between St. Petersburg and Moscow.” Before these rumors emerged, Putin had long been thought to suffer from serious health problems.
The Kremlin denies these claims.
