True or false. Did Vladimir Putin invite extras to congratulate the end of the year?
After the wishes of the Russian president for 2023, many international media suspected that there were additions on his side. La Dépêche separates truth from falsehood.
Extras to surround Vladimir Putin? This is what many international media suspected after watching the president’s wishes for 2023.
A member has been selected
Belarusian journalist Tadeusz Gekzan was the first to notice the similarity on Twitter. In the greetings video, the president appears on camera, surrounded by a group of people who are supposed to be members of Moscow’s military according to the Kremlin. However, to the right of the chair stands a blonde woman, already seen in other images in very different contexts. “A female soldier, a sailor, a devoted Christian. God reveals himself in a mysterious way,” the journalist asserts wryly.
as shown bfmthe blonde woman who appears in various costumes and is on a frequent basis close to Putin will be none other than Sergohina Larisa Borisovna, a 57-year-old deputy.
People chosen by Putin’s entourage
In the greeting video, the deputy is not the only familiar face surrounding Putin. A number of “soldiers” have already appeared beside him on a boat, during Mass, but also during a meal and around a wood fire.
that’s cool. Who is? Personal guard? actor? There are many other faces that appear in both pictures on the right. https://t.co/cVZyLvya2g

to a journalist Kyiv Post Jason Jay Smart, they could be, if not actors, at least people chosen by Vladimir Putin’s entourage to accompany him on his official outings.
