A journalist asked if it is possible that after Putin's death, "there will be a composite image made up of his doubles and look-alikes, and Putin will continue to exist for some time."
"When the fact of physical death occurs, they may still delay the announcement without modern technologies, manipulate the information presented, and for some time (history knows this) transport the body, wave a dead hand, and claim that he is alive. Ultimately, this will come to an end sooner or later, so the question lies not only with Putin himself but also within society. Today, a collective Putin already exists," Yusov responded.
According to him, "the collective Putin" is "the regime and those zombified by propaganda residents of the Russian Federation who are willing to support killings while living in absolute poverty and limited to what the television feeds them,"
"This collective Putin is indeed a problem that needs to be addressed. It is not only a problem for Ukraine regarding what to do with him so that this territory ceases to be a potential danger and threat to all neighboring countries," the representative of GUR believes.
When asked if there are potential successors to Putin in Russia, Yusov replied that "there are many people who consider themselves as such."
"I wish success to all participants in the 'competitions.' May they successfully [defeat] each other there," he said.
