Aformer Kremlin insider in a post on social media site Telegram claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin suffered a “cardiac arrest” in his private Moscow apartment on Sunday evening. The Telegram channel, General SVR, which is reportedly run by a former lieutenant-general of the Russian army said Putin was found by guards on the floor of the bedroom “lying on the floor and rolling his eyes”. The post said that doctors were called immediately who then said that the 71-year-old leader suffered a cardiac arrest. It claimed that he was transported to a special medical facility built in the apartment where he underwent intensive care. News18 could not independently verify the authenticity of the claims. “Security officers of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who were on duty at the residence, heard noise and sounds of falling coming from the president’s bedroom. Two security officers immediately followed into the president’s bedroom and saw Putin lying on the floor next to the bed and an overturned table with food and drinks,” the Telegram channel said. “Putin convulsively arched while lying on the floor, rolling his eyes,” it further added. It said that doctors “resuscitated” Putin but officially or independently the incident has not yet been confirmed but the development has caused fear and panic in Putin’s inner circle. The same account earlier led to speculation that Putin uses body doubles. It went on to claim that the body double held a phone conversation with Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and meeting Kazbek Kokov, head of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. “While the unexpectedly well-coiffed double of Russian President Vladimir Putin is having a telephone conversation with the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and meeting with the leader of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Kazbek Kokov, the real Putin lies in a room equipped as an intensive care ward in his residence,” the message on the Telegram channel, originally posted in Russian, said. The former Kremlin insider claimed that doctors and Russian officials are keeping a close eye on the Russian President’s health.
