Vladimir Putin’s paranoiac fear of being assassinated means he rarely goes to his Kremlin office and his behaviour has become similar to that of Adolf Hitler in 1945, it is claimed.
While the Russian leader has always been extremely security conscious, the invasion of Ukraine has made him very paranoid of an attempt to topple him, says Professor Mark Galeotti.
No longer does Putin regularly head to the Kremlin and his office as he would rather now work from the mansion on his summer estate, Novo-Ogaryovo, west of Moscow, the University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies professor told the Daily Mail.
