A tumor or Parkinson’s disease? Or Vladimir Putin, 70 years old in October, has nothing whatsoever apart from a few ailments due to age and some injury suffered while practicing martial arts or hunting in the tundra?
The salute of the Russian leader has ended up even more in the crosshairs of Western intelligence since Moscow invaded Ukraine and now every public appearance is scrutinized under the microscope in order to see some symptoms, some weaknesses. But the Kremlin has put up an impenetrable wall on the
