Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner Group, who was exiled to Belarus after staging an armed rebellion against Moscow's military leadership, has apparently reappeared in St. Petersburg, raising questions about whether he had actually left Russia. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who brokered the deal that ended the revolt and included Prigozhin's exile, stated that the Wagner boss was already back in Russia. An unnamed Pentagon official suggested that Prigozhin may have never gone to Belarus and that he is believed to employ body doubles.

Did Putin Send a Body Double to Ukraine?

A top adviser to the Ukrainian government, Anton Gerashchenko, has tweeted pictures of Russian President Putin, claiming that he is sending body doubles to public events in his place. Gerashchenko drew red circles beneath Putin's chin in all three images, suggesting that they cannot be the same man.

Skeptics believe that Russian leader Vladimir Putin uses body doubles for public appearances, with critics pointing to his ears as proof.

Skeptics believe his doubles have had surgery to look like him and point to his ears as proof.
