War lord Vladimir Putin is currently living in a massive underground city protected from potential nuclear attacks that can house up to 100,000 people, it has been claimed.
The academic who first alleged the Kremlin leader is seriously ill alleges the Russian president has retreated to a vast nuclear bunker as he lives in fear of his enemies.
Professor Valery Solovey, 61, also claims the dictator is unlikely to remain in politics beyond the end of this year due to poor health.
