Photo of Putin in High-Heel Shoes Sparks Wild Conspiracy Theory

 

Aphoto of Russian President Vladimir Putin wearing high-heel shoes in Moscow on Wednesday has sparked a wild conspiracy that he has a body double.

 

Putin, who is believed to be about 5 feet 7 inches, was photographed alongside students of Lomonosov Moscow State University during a visit for Russia's Students' Day, or Tatiana Day.

 

The images appear to show Putin wearing shoes with extra-thick heels to boost his height.

 

Jason Jay Smart, a correspondent for the Kyiv Post, shared a photo from Putin's Wednesday visit, pushing the body-double theory.

 

"Putin wears high heels. He does it whenever he is with groups who 'should be' shorter than he (5'7"/170 CM)," Smart tweeted. "But it appears that in most public events, a body double attends - not the real Putin. The changes in his height, ears, and weight are otherwise inexplicable."

 

The unsubstantiated claim that the Russian leader uses a body double, amid rumors that the leader's health is deteriorating, has been pushed multiple times, including by the Ukrainian government.
