Putin wants to rule until he is almost 100 years old and put his secret son in the Kremlin, media reports

British journalists refer to the data of Russian investigative journalist Ilya Davlyatchin and the comments of political scientist and Putin's former speechwriter Abbas Galyamov. According to investigators, the Russian president plans to remain in power until he is 97 years old and possibly hand over the "keys to the Kremlin" to his son Ivan, who is now only 10 years old.

This allegedly became known during a personal conversation between Vladimir Putin and the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, during which they discussed the topic of longevity and the possibility of living up to 150 years. They did not know that their conversation was overheard, which caused concern among Chinese officials, who tried to cover up the details of the conversation.

Ilya Davlyatchyn believes that 73-year-old Putin wants to found his own dynasty, but for that he will have to live at least another 20-odd years. "We even know what age Putin wants to live to - 97 years old. It's 2050. Everything is simple: then his eldest son Ivan will be 35 years old, and at that age you can be elected to the post of president of Russia. But there is one problem," the investigator said.

Vladimir Putin does not publicly acknowledge that he has children, nor does he acknowledge his relationship with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva, the mother of Ivan and his brother Vladimir. Political scientist and former Putin speechwriter Abbas Gallyamov suggested that the president's daughters could be more likely successors. "It could be one of Putin's daughters. . . definitely," he said.

Maria Vorontsova, 40, is an endocrinologist engaged in longevity research, and Kateryna Tikhonova, 38, a former rock and roll dancer, currently heads the Inopraktika Development Institute, which oversees Russian projects to reduce dependence on Western technologies. "Putin for some reason allows them to quietly interfere in politics. They spoke twice at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, although, of course, not brilliantly.

But for some reason he made his daughter Kateryna Tikhonova the co-chair of the commission on import substitution. . . She can be nominated in literally three months - the official time of the election campaign is quite enough. I'm not saying that this is a ready-made scenario. In fact, it has a lot of negatives," Gallyamov believes. In modern Russia, which has taken a course towards patriarchy and so-called "traditional values", it is extremely difficult to imagine a woman who will lead it.

Putin has already ruled longer than the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who remained in power for 17 years, the leader of fascist Italy Benito Mussolini (20 years), the Indonesian dictator Suharto (20 years) and the leader of socialist Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu, who was shot by revolutionaries in 1989 after 24 years in power. By the end of his possible fifth presidential term in 2036, Putin will surpass China's "Great Leader" Mao Zedong, who ruled the country for 33 years.

If Putin stays in the Kremlin until 2036, he will surpass the dictators of Spain and Portugal, Francisco Franco and Antonio de Salazar, who ruled for 36 years each. If Putin can carry out his plans and remain in power until 2050, his reign will exceed that of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed after 42 years in power, Kim Il Sung, who ruled for 46 years, and Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who held the presidency for 49 years.
