Since Vladimir Putin became president, the Kremlin has been hiding information about his health. At first, no one paid any attention to it. However, later, when Putin began to disappear from the public field from time to time, many suggested that this may have something to do with his treatment. At the same time, on all trips, the President was accompanied by a large team of doctors. The Proekt publication released an investigation into the health of the Russian leader.

The Kremlin deliberately built a machismo image of Putin. The problem is that he fell off horses.

At the beginning of his tenure as president, Putin "exploited the image of an active man in the prime of his life," recalls the "Project". At that time, according to an official who worked with him, the president was rarely examined and paid little attention to the state of his body (for example, fever). At the same time, in the Kremlin, building the image of Putin as a macho, they decided not to tell the public anything bad at all about his health.

Falls from horses were a serious problem in those years for Putin, who was fond of equestrian sports, writes Proekt. One of the president’s acquaintances said that after one of the falls, Putin “couldn’t even get on his feet” for some time, and then he was treated for a long time.

In 2012, Putin first appeared in public with a limp - this happened on National Unity Day, when the president laid flowers at the monument to Minin and Pozharsky. According to Proekt, they tried not to show Putin on the TV broadcast, they did not post a video of the event on the Kremlin website, and news agencies were categorically forbidden to mention the president's lameness. By the end of 2012, the lameness worsened - because of this, the duration of all events with the participation of the president was limited to one hour.

At the same time, Proekt writes, the Kremlin first began to use "canned food" - pre-prepared recordings of Putin's meetings with subordinates, which allowed the president to quietly disappear from the field of view of Russians. “Over time, such disappearances became more and more. As well as health problems, ”says the Project. "Canned food" was used at least in March 2015, August 2017, February 2018 and September 2021.

Many of Putin's relatives are doctors. At the same time, he is interested in alternative medicine.

As Proekt notes, with age, Putin began to show interest, including in alternative medicine. So, the newspaper writes with reference to Putin's acquaintance, the president takes antler baths, which the current Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told him about (there is no convincing evidence of their benefits). Due to Putin's interest, antler baths and similar non-traditional ways to prolong youth have become popular among other top officials, the newspaper writes.

The Project notes that “Putin’s interest in non-scientific medicine seems strange,” given the fact that there are many doctors among his close relatives - in particular, his daughter Maria Vorontsova graduated from the medical faculty of Moscow State University, his cousin Evgeny Putin worked as a pediatric surgeon, his wife - gynecologist, and their children trained as psychiatrists. Putin's cousin Tatyana Ptashuk is also a doctor by training, she is now the deputy head of the clinic of the Central Clinical Hospital (TsKB), where top Russian officials are treated.

Together with Putin, a team of doctors flies to Sochi. There used to be five, then there were nine

Over the years, Putin began to visit the Central Clinical Hospital in the Moscow district of Kuntsevo more and more often - according to one of the sources of the "Project", there he is observed by the "department of personal doctors." The same doctors accompany Putin on trips and fly to his residence. The “project” studied the contracts and acts of acceptance of services between the Central Clinical Hospital and hotels in Sochi published on the public procurement website - the dates of the flights of doctors there coincided with official visits of the president or with periods when he did not appear in public.

After examining the contracts, the journalists of the "Project" came to the conclusion that in 2016-2017 the president was accompanied by an average of five doctors, but sometimes the number of doctors "dramatically" increased. So, in November 2016, Putin did not appear in public for five days - and during this period, 12 doctors immediately settled in the Sochi sanatorium "Rus". First, a group of Putin's personal doctors arrived, and then a group of operating neurosurgeons from the Central Clinical Hospital and a rehabilitation specialist. “The treatment obviously went well - on December 1, Putin already addressed the Federal Assembly. A year later, the President awarded [the head of the group of neurosurgeons] Oleg Myshkin with the title of Honored Doctor of Russia, ”the Project writes.

By 2019, the newspaper writes, Putin was accompanied by an average of nine doctors. The Project notes that otolaryngologists Alexei Shcheglov and Igor Esakov, as well as surgeon Yevgeny Selivanov, visited the president most often. The “project” emphasizes that Selivanov, at least until recently, specialized in oncology and dealt with thyroid problems. An otolaryngologist, writes Proekt, “is the doctor who, among other things, can be the first to detect problems with the thyroid gland, including oncological ones.” The publication also notes that Putin has publicly demonstrated interest in the problem of thyroid cancer.

Putin’s health has been increasingly talked about since the fall of 2021. Then the president suddenly went into self-isolation

According to a Project source close to the leadership of one of the major hospitals, in medical circles "they are really talking about the president's health problems." According to him, these conversations increased in the fall of 2021, when the president, after a long stay in isolation due to COVID-19, began to hold public events again - and during a meeting with the Paralympians on September 13, he unexpectedly announced that he had to go into isolation, as Too many people around are sick with the coronavirus. As Proekt writes, this news came as a “surprise” even for the president’s entourage.

After that, Putin did not appear in public for the whole of September. However, it is not known whether any medical manipulations were carried out with him at that time, the Project writes. As the newspaper notes, after that the president began to communicate with people, being at a very great distance from them - usually on opposite sides of huge tables.
