A brief clip of Vladimir Putin issuing a rather mundane holiday greeting has become an unexpected turning point in his decades-long rule—and sources say it may mark the beginning of his undoing.
The Russian president’s health has long been closely guarded, so much so that it’s actually considered a state secret, and officials risk treason charges if they dare leak any information about it.
That’s why Russians were shocked to hear that an unedited video of Putin was shared on the Kremlin’s own Telegram channel last week, showing him coughing and choking on his own words. Although it was quickly replaced by a cleaned-up version, word quickly spread of the revealing clip.
