According to a Kremlin insider, Vladimir Putin is said to have cancer.

His successor is to be announced as early as January - Putin is thinking of his daughter Katerina Tikhonova.

London -

Vladimir Putin's

health

is guarded like a state secret.

A whole department is supposed to see to it that the

Kremlin chief

stays healthy.

One of his personal physicians, Sergei Mironov, is said to have said only this much: "From a medical point of view,

Putin is

significantly younger than he would be according to his age." In general, Putin prefers honey tea and gentle massages - he is rather skeptical about drugs.

But now a Kremlin insider is again circulating rumors about the state of health of the president.

Putin is said to have developed cancer and had an operation earlier this year.

The British

Daily Mail

had

Valery Solovei

, a prominent

critic of Putin

*

, therefore, said that Putin already in early 2021 plans to resign and his daughter

Katerina Tikhonova

wants to establish itself as a successor.

She is known as an academic, dancer and author:

Cancer diagnosis for Putin?

Kremlin critic reveals alleged resignation plans of the Russian president

According to the

Daily Mail,

speculation about a possible illness has been

going

on since papers leaked that Putin was preparing for the time after his presidency.

But for Solovei one thing is certain:

Putin

suffers from Parkinson's and from a cancer that will soon force him to resign.

“I'm not a doctor and I can't make an exact diagnosis,” Solovei is supposed to have said.

Particularly signs of a possible

Parkinson's disease

are therefore being carefully observed in Russia: For example,

Putin

is said to

repeatedly drink from a cup of medication when

appearing

on TV or to have his legs tremble under the table.

Recently, a violent coughing fit during a live performance fueled speculation that Putin might be ill.

Putin has cancer?

Are the rumors supposed to weaken his position?

It is noticeable, however, that there are rumors about Putin's possible cancer as early as 2012.

Again and again there was speculation about his health if Putin did not appear in public for a long time.

International observers assumed around 2014 that this should weaken Putin's position, as

focus.de

wrote at the time.

According to the

Daily Mail

, the Kremlin has rejected speculation about the disease.

On the other hand, one

thing

is certain:

President Putin

has to worry about the health of his citizens.

Most recently, there had been over 23,000 new infections with the

corona virus

* within one day.

Russia is fighting the pandemic in makeshift hospitals, among other places.

“The assumption that everything is okay is out of place,” Putin said.
