Is The Russian President Immortal? A Picture Of Vladimir Putin From 1920 Is Going Viral

Recent images published by Disclose.tv website "revealed" that Vladimir Putin is "immortal."

The website put images of a young looking 63-year old beside photos of other men thought to be from 1920 and 1941.

"On social networks are circulating pictures from 1920, and in 1941, for which some people claim that they are pictures of Mr Putin," Disclose.tv wrote on their website.

The picture, taken in 1920, shows a Russian soldier who looks like the Moscow leader. Another photo from 1941 has an uncanny resemblance of the Russian president.

"In fact, supporters of the thesis that Putin is almighty and immortal, have launched a story that their president is a mythical creature that resides on our planet for hundreds, if not thousands of years," the website added.

Putin, being in the Moscow limelight for 15 years, has also been the target of creative minds. Buzzfeed has reported that Putin himself was a "model and an inspiration for the Mona Lisa" or "a Greek general from the 19th century." How about being a "subject of several paintings by Dutch painter Jan van Eyck?"

BT suggests that Vladimir Putin was immortal because he was born in 1431 and he is, infact, Vlad the Impaler.

However, the Russian president, nicknamed as The Grey Cardinal, has spectacular achievements in his career.

In 1975, he was a KGB operative who retired with a rank of lieutenant colonel in 1991. He served as an adviser to Saint Petersburg administration from 1991 to 1996. Before becoming an acting president of Russia when Boris Yeltsin resigned, he was the deputy chief.

Putin became the president of Russia in 2000 until 2008, and took a break as a prime minister until 2012. He resumed the presidency again in three years ago after constitutional changes allowed him to run again.

While pictures could be deceptive, these immortal words from Vladimir Putin makes him one of the most powerful man in the world: "At last, Russia has returned to the world arena as a strong state - a country that others heed and that can stand up for itself."
