Is Putin immortal?
After the photoshopped image went viral, sparking rumors that "Putin is immortal," Russian news outlets published numerous satirical memes created by netizens, mocking this theory.
What is the latest “conspiracy” surrounding the powerful President Putin? According to our humorous netizens, it seems that Putin is “immortal.”
With its self-proclaimed goal of "revealing the truth," Disclose.tv wrote:
"In fact, proponents of the theory that Putin is omnipotent and immortal have launched a narrative that their president is a mythical creature who has lived on our planet for hundreds, if not thousands, of years."

The "evidence" that RT refers to is a composite image posted on Disclose.tv, which includes a recent photo of President Putin and two other photos – one taken in 1920, the other in 1941 – which are also claimed to be Putin.

However, the Russian news agency Sputnik explained that the two figures in the 1920 and 1941 photographs were two Russian soldiers who only bore a resemblance to the country's leader.
Not only did Russian media repost the viral photo, but they also shared many other humorous memes that appeared on Twitter, showcasing the rich imagination of internet users, with the underlying purpose of refuting it. Let's take a look at these half-joking, half-serious memes!

It seems even the birds in New York are "admirers" of Putin, even though Western media constantly promotes the authoritarianism and suppression of freedom by the Russian president. Perhaps they haven't yet managed to "propagate" this to these birds?

Regardless of Putin's policies, we cannot deny that he is one of the most powerful men in the world.
