The reports, as is the world today, vary in levels of reliability.<\/p>\n<p>But another take, this one from a former MI6 chief, went further, saying Putin will be out of power and end up in a long-term care facility by 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/22\/putin-will-be-sent-to-sanatorium-by-2023-ex-mi6-chief\/\">according<\/a> to the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really going to stick my neck out. I think he\u2019ll be gone by 2023,\u201d Sir Richard Dearlove, who ran Britain\u2019s CIA-like agency, said on the \u201cOne Decision\u201d podcast, which he co-hosts. \u201cProbably into the sanatorium, from which he will not emerge as leader of Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Institutionalizing Putin could be what Dearlove called an \u201celegant\u201d alternative to a coup. In that event, he said one likely successor would be secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my thesis were fulfilled and Putin did disappear into a sanatorium, I think he\u2019s the likely stand-in,\u201d said Dearlove, who served as head of the British Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 until 2004. \u201cAnd of course the stand-in [in] this scenario probably becomes permanent. I mean, you know there is no succession in the Russian leadership. They certainly don\u2019t succession-plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few weeks, speculation has swirled about Putin\u2019s health. He skipped a hockey game in which he has played in for about a decade, and in one public appearance, he appeared bloated and was seen <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/19\/putin-seems-to-grip-table-during-meeting-amid-cancer-rumors\/\">clinging<\/a> to a table.<\/p>\n<p>In another report, an oligarch close to the Kremlin claimed Putin is \u201cvery ill with blood cancer,\u201d according to a secret recording <a href=\"https:\/\/newlinesmag.com\/reportage\/is-putin-sick-or-are-we-meant-to-think-he-is\/\">obtained<\/a> by New Lines Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recording represents rare testimony by someone with proven ties to the Russian government that its fanatical dictator may well be seriously unwell,\u201d the magazine stated of the comments made in mid-March, about three weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe absolutely ruined Russia\u2019s economy, Ukraine\u2019s economy and many other economies \u2014 ruined [them] absolutely,\u201d the unnamed oligarch said of Putin. \u201cThe problem is with his head. \u2026 One crazy guy can turn the world upside down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
