Vladimir Putin in recent days, he has hidden family members in an “underground city” in Siberia, according to a Russian professor.
The luxury high-tech bunker is located in the Altai Mountains and is designed for protection in case of nuclear warsaid political scientist Valery Nightingale, 61.
A former professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Affairs (MGIMO) – visited by future senior diplomats and spies, Nightingale previously claimed that Putin suffered from medical problems hidden from the Russian public and participated in strange secret shamanic rituals with him. . Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.
Some in Moscow have dismissed Nightingale as a conspiracy theorist or fraud, but only last week he was questioned for seven hours by Russian authorities over allegations he made about Putin’s medical and mental condition on the Telegram website he runs.
His home was also searched and many electronic items were seized. Nightingale was later released, but the case was not closed.
The allegation comes as Russia launches missile strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv, leading to accusations that Putin is committing war crimes by wreaking havoc cluster bombs on helpless civilians.

“Over the weekend, President Putin’s family was evacuated to a special bunker prepared in the event of a nuclear war,” the professor said in a video. “This bunker is located in [mountainous] Altai Republic. “In fact, this is not a bunker, but an entire underground city equipped with the latest science and technology.” (Pictured Altai Mountains)

“Over the weekend, President Putin’s family was evacuated to a special bunker prepared in the event of a nuclear war,” the professor said in a video.
“This bunker is located in [mountainous] Altai Republic.
“It’s not really a bunker, it’s a whole underground city equipped with the latest science and technology.”
He warned: “I hope this means something to you? That the president is sending his family to this bunker?
Nightingale, who claims to have internal contacts in the Kremlin, is thought to be referring to a vast mountain dacha allegedly built by energy giant Gazprom about a decade ago in the Ongudai region of the Altai Republic, a region in Siberia bordering Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan.
Observers have spotted numerous ventilation points in the area around the mountain hideout and a high-voltage line connected to a state-of-the-art 110 kilovolt substation, enough to power a small town.
During the construction, it was reported that there were huge German tunnel diggers on the site.
Nightingale did not identify members of Putin’s family who were allegedly sent to the bunker, but had previously claimed that Olympic gold medalist Alina Kabayeva, 38, was the Russian leader’s secret wife.
“This is his real family and Alina is able to influence his decisions,” he said last year.

Putin has two older daughters, Maria Vorontsova, 36, a geneticist, and Katerina Tikhonova, 35, a dancer who has become a mathematician.
He also reportedly has a daughter named Luiza Rozova, an 18-year-old heiress, also known as Elizaveta Krivonogih, from a previous relationship with the cleaner, multimillionaire Svetlana Krivonogih, 45, now co-owner of a large Russian bank.
Unconfirmed rumors denied by the Kremlin say he also has children from Kabayeva.
Earlier, Putin said: “I have a personal life in which I do not allow interference. It must be respected.
He condemns “those who, with their snotty noses and erotic fantasies, intrude on the lives of others.”
It is written that Kabayeva says that she met an unnamed man whom “I love very much”, gushing: “Sometimes you feel so happy that you even feel scared.”
The alleged relocation of his family to the bunker came with a “failure” of Putin’s strategic plan to conquer Ukraine, Nightingale said.
“This is his real family and Alina is able to influence his decisions,” Nightingale said last year (Kabaeva pictured in 2018).
Putin has two older daughters, Maria Vorontsova, 36, pictured in the center, a geneticist, and Katerina Tikhonova, a 35-year-old dancer who has become a mathematician.
Putin was struck by “an extremely strong, united and very negative reaction from the collective West to Russia’s plans.”
“Putin planned to declare a complete and undisputed military victory for Russian troops on Sunday evening, February 27 – and to announce the end or the near end of the so-called ‘special operation,'” Nightingale said.
“As you know, no goal of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been achieved.”
Estimates of Russian losses after the invasion of Ukraine range between 700 and a Ukrainian claim of 4,500 in the first days of the fighting.
Russia says it has hit 1,146 Ukrainian military infrastructure, including 31 command posts and communications centers, 81 S-300 air defense bases, plus the Buk M-1 and Osa air defense missile systems and 75 radar stations.
“A total of 311 tanks, other armored military vehicles, 42 planes and helicopters (including some on the ground), 51 multiple rocket launchers, 147 field artillery and mortars and 263 specialized military vehicles were destroyed,” a spokesman for the ministry said. defense. Igor Konashenkov.
But there are widespread reports that Russian forces have been successfully repulsed by Ukrainian forces as Russian authorities try to cover up the number of casualties their ranks have suffered.
One of Nightingale’s more startling claims is that Defense Minister Shoigu has arranged for Putin to attend a shamanic ritual in Siberia that involves sacrificing a black wolf in a ritual to improve the president’s health.
Shoigu currently personally controls Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.
One of Nightingale’s more startling claims was that Defense Minister Shoigu (pictured in February 2022) arranged for Putin to attend a shamanic ritual in Siberia involving a black wolf sacrifice in a ceremony to improve the president’s health.
Nightingale has suggested in the past that Putin (pictured) suffered from early-stage Parkinson’s disease and has a secret life-threatening illness, but has provided no evidence of his claims.
“A piece of white cloth was soaked in the wolf’s blood and burned,” said the anonymous telegram channel General SVR, linked to Nightingale in September 2021.
“It is said that they saw a black raven in the smoke, which circled for a long time.
“For some reason, this sign was explained to Putin as a great success.”
Asked about his allegations that Putin had a serious illness – something that was strongly denied by the Kremlin – Nightingale said: “I do not use the term ‘terminally ill’ and I have never used it.
“I use a euphemism: personal circumstances with force majeure.”
In the past, he suggested that Putin suffered from Parkinson’s disease at an early stage and that he had a secret life-threatening illness, but he did not provide evidence for his claims.
