Colonel of the KGB reserve, ex-intelligence officer, political scientist and publicist Sergey Zhirnov, in an interview with Unian commented on whether the option of an official funeral of one of Putin's doubles is being worked out now?

"If he was a smart person, he would work it out. And for him, this is generally a great way out. But a smart person would not do anything that Putin does for 14 months.

For us, it makes no difference whether the double or the real Putin will be killed. Any double or Putin who is killed or handed over to The Hague is a symbol. This is enough for us. And in the modern world, with the Internet and the interconnection of all continents, Putin will not hide anywhere.

Let me remind you of President Zelensky's statement: "I wish Putin to end his life in the basement with a bucket for sewage." In fact, this is a symbolic statement because even if Putin ends his life in some villa with a golden toilet, the meaning does not change.

After issuing an arrest warrant in The Hague, Putin ceased to be a political figure. Formally. The Western world no longer considers him as a political figure. They consider him as a suspected war criminal. In this sense, he is crossed."
