"He's Gone Mad": Putin Purges His Inner Circle As He Grows Extremely Paranoid - The Russian Dude [View all]

Putin is no longer a young man. And he plans to rule minimum until 2036. He will be in his mid 80s by then. But the coming twilight of his mind is inevitable. Putin started purging some of his inner circle members one by one. And started to grow extremely paranoid. Almost the same as what Stalin did back in 1950s, which resulted in his lonely death.
