Doubles of the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin will bear criminal responsibility on a par with him.

This was told by military expert Oleg Zhdanov, answering a question about the fate of Putin's doubles in the context of the issuance of an international warrant for the arrest of the President of the Russian Federation: "Of course, doubles bear criminal responsibility along with their original, because these people voluntarily agreed to play the role of a dictator."

According to the expert, one cannot be 100% sure who signed these or those orders - the original or a double: "Therefore, since they agreed to play this role, it means that they bear full criminal responsibility the same as the dictator himself."

Zhdanov called the exception that in some cases in history, the death penalty was not applied to twins.
