Russia Boosts Gold Reserves to Historic High

Russia has achieved a historic milestone by boosting its gold reserves to 2.36 thousand tons, an increase of 44 tons, or 2%, positioning the nation as the fifth-largest holder of gold reserves worldwide. Simultaneously, Russia’s current leadership, under the guidance of Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev and individuals linked to the late President Vladimir Putin, faces a pressing challenge. The prior practice of employing a body double, even in risky situations, has been reconsidered due to the amalgamation of the double and presidential functions, prompting a thorough review of associated risks.

Security Measures for Putin’s Double

The presidential double now faces security conditions mirroring those experienced by the real Vladimir Putin in recent years. This includes stringent security measures and the use of a fortified bunker. Furthermore, a “self-isolation” protocol with quarantine measures for those involved in personal meetings is implemented to ensure the double operates within a security framework resembling Putin’s, albeit slightly less strict. This strategy serves to protect the double and reduce the potential for exposure risks. Nikolai Patrushev, recognizing the vulnerabilities stemming from the double’s interactions with non-initiated individuals, acknowledges the elevated risk of exposure and, as a result, emphasizes the necessity for heightened precautions.

Discredited Reports of Putin-Lukashenko Call

Recent reports suggesting a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko have been discredited. Lukashenko maintains a close rapport with Nikolai Patrushev and has been actively engaged in negotiations since Putin’s demise. Lukashenko assumes a pivotal role in evaluating the circumstances within the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and is working to persuade Tokayev and Pashinyan to delay their exit until June 1, 2024. The primary objective is to ensure a smooth transition during the “presidential elections” in Russia and avert any disturbances or instability that could arise from the potential dissolution of the CSTO.

Double’s Economic Conference and Putin’s Frozen Body

In recent developments, the presidential double has conducted a video conference to address economic matters. However, the double’s comprehension of economic intricacies is notably inferior to Putin’s expertise, often revealing a lack of depth when speaking off-script. Nevertheless, Patrushev faces a dearth of alternatives, making the double’s role indispensable. In a parallel context, Vladimir Putin’s body is still stored in a freezer at his Valdai residence, presenting a logistical challenge for Patrushev. Starting on October 27, the Secretary of the Security Council has assumed responsibility for receiving frontline casualty reports, revealing a substantial tally of 307,816 personnel with irretrievable military operational losses.

PMCs’ Losses, Double’s Meetings, and Patrushev’s ‘Politburo 2.0’

This count does not take into account the losses suffered by Russian private military companies (PMCs) operating in Ukraine, as these PMCs have been assimilated into the Russian Ministry of Defense, thus contributing to the overall tally of losses. Furthermore, the presidential double continues his engagements, including meetings with regional governors. He tends to have informal and at times insolent interactions with these officials, whom he colloquially refers to as “hamsters. Simultaneously, Nikolai Patrushev, effectively assuming the reins of governance in Russia, is in the process of assembling a new leadership core, often dubbed “Politburo 2.0,” drawing members from Putin’s inner circle. He is offering incentives to fortify their positions within the government structure.

Double’s Enhanced Role Under Patrushev

The presidential double has engaged in extensive discussions with Patrushev, who is determined to accommodate the double’s preferences. Patrushev intends to grant the double access to closed meetings, allow him to voice his opinions publicly on specific topics, and enhance the double’s living conditions to mirror those of the presidency, albeit under strict monitoring. It is essential to highlight that the double will maintain no contact with the late Putin’s younger children or his partner, Alina Kabaeva. The double is optimistic about the opportunities Patrushev has arranged for him. Additionally, apart from meetings with regional leaders, the double is involved in the production of content for future use.
