Recently, video footage had surfaced in which Russian President Putin was seen shaking his leg continuously. He was also seen in excruciating pain while sitting in a chair. Similar symptoms are found in a patient of Parkinson’s disease.
Speculations of Putin’s departure from active politics were rife last week when a law was passed in the Russian Parliament. Under this, Putin was given the right to remain a senator even after resigning. Putin has also been guaranteed that there will not be any lawsuit against him and to provide salary and allowances and facilities.
