Following reports that after unexpectedly rescheduling two preannounced high level meetings, the social networks erupted with a cornucopia of theories and “confirmed” reports that the Russian president is sick, had a stroke, or has outright died. To be sure this is not the first time the 62-year-old’s health has been put into question, the last time being 2012 when rumors swirled again. However this time it got so bad even Bloomberg felt it was relevant to ask “Where is Vladimir Putin.” This morning the Kremlin answered.
Earlier today, Russian state television broadcast footage which it said was of Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting Supreme Court chairman Vyacheslav Lebedev on Friday at Putin’s residence near Moscow. The Kremlin released more detail on the meeting, along with photos taken today:
