A detail observed in a recent interview given by Vladimir Putin has sparked controversy, after the Kremlin leader allegedly used a prompter, fueling discussions about the staged nature of his public appearance.
After the interview given by Putin to Rossiya-1, analysts noticed that the Kremlin leader was reading prepared answers from a prompter. This had not been observed in his previous interviews, notes Dialog
In the images, his gaze is not directed towards the interlocutor, but to the right, beyond the head of journalist Zarubin, towards the screen where the text was displayed. The prompter was right behind the interviewer. The recording suggests that the Russian leader was following a prepared script.
Users believe that 73-year-old Vladimir Putin may be facing some cognitive decline with age.
This condition would manifest itself through difficulties in retaining details and figures without written support, problems concentrating on complex subjects for extended periods, and a reduced ability to maintain a free dialogue, without a strict script.
