He is behaving very strangely: media analyzes putin's behavior amid upcoming presidential elections in russia
Kyiv • UNN
Russian journalists report on the instability of President vladimir Putin's last term: he was publicly active for only 147 days and often displayed an unusual distant behavior during events.
On the eve of the new presidential elections in Russia, journalists decided to analyze the last term of Russian dictator vladimir putin. This was reported by UNN, citing Russian media.
Details
Journalists emphasize that putin seems to be overly tired and exhibits unusual behavior. In particular, he tends to alternate between days of incredible public activity and long disappearances.
Media professionals analyzed all the events involving the Russian dictator over the past year and concluded that putin spent only 147 days in public (i.e., less than 5 months out of 12).

The least public month for the Russian dictator was January, when putin was in the public eye for only 7 days. For the rest of the time, putin did not leave his residence, did not organize meetings with journalists or other people, except for his close officials and loyal politicians
Separately, investigators noted a new trend for the Russian president - alternating days of intense public activity with long periods of disappearance.
For example, on September 28 alone, putin participated in four significant public events, but in the previous six days he had not been seen anywhere, except in close circles. On September 29, putin reappeared in public events, but for the next four days (until October 3) he was not seen again
It is noted that during putin's long absence from the information space, the press service of the Kremlin publishes reports on the dictator's cabinet meetings, which were probably recorded in advance.

Journalists also draw attention to some unusual features: at many meetings, putin prefers to maintain a distance among his interlocutors, while at some events he literally comes into contact with the people.
According to the analysis of Russian media professionals, the number of events held remotely over the past year amounted to 43% of the total. In addition, in 36% of cases, all participants of the meetings were forced to stay in quarantine.
This distancing sometimes takes on startling forms. We have found that at many forums, a fence is literally put up in front of the president on stage, separating the head of state from the audience. And on the street, putin's interlocutors are forced to stand at a distance of more than 10 meters from him - behind a specially drawn red line
At the same time, one-fifth of all events with putin's participation took place without any distance or quarantine, for example, with international guests or after dramatic events.
Addendum
The upper house of the Russian parliament, the Federation Council, announced on Thursday that it has scheduled presidential elections in Russia for March 17, 2024. This could be the fifth presidential term for vladimir putin.
To recap
Russian President vladimir putin will run for president in 2024.
