Eternal dictator. People around Putin are looking for the secret of long life and are experimenting with monkeys.
At the Kurchatov Institute, run by Putin's close ally Mikhail Kovalchuk, scientists study the aging of primates. They have created a biological bank of blood from long-lived monkeys and are researching how to slow down human aging. There are more than 7,000 monkeys in the institute's nurseries.
They plan to spend almost 18 billion rubles on Russian longevity research programs. And Putin himself has already discussed with Xi Jinping the possibility of living up to 150 years.
Looks like someone really doesn't want to leave. Not from the Kremlin, and not from life.
