Putin’s secret hideout where he ‘bathes in animal blood’ to prolong his life

Vladimir Putin is rumoured to have taken a break from warmongering and visited his mountain palace to ‘bathe in the blood of young deer’.

The 72-year-old dictator is said to enjoy using ancient remedies to prolong his life and give him strength, say reports.

His ‘Flying Kremlin’- equivalent to Air Force One – disappeared from radar screens over Siberia after a flight from Moscow on New Year’s Eve under the calendar used by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Two days later the aircraft reappeared in roughly the same location, this time flying back to Moscow.

Telegram channel ‘More Than Fact’ suggested Putin may have spent time at his sprawling courtyard retreat in Altai.

The Siberian palace is reported to have a vast underground hi-tech bunker with its own power station from which he could control Russian in the event of nuclear war.

It was reported last year that sufficient quantities of food has been stashed here to feed up to 300 people ‘for several years’.

The eerie complex includes a maral deer farm where antlers are sawn off terrified Siberian stags so Putin and his inner circle can take blood baths, according to previous investigative reports.

The ancient tradition is seen as a testosterone-driven elixir to improve male potency, but also as bringing multiple health benefits and slowing the ageing process.

Putin was seen in videos released by the Kremlin during the period he was supposedly away, but they may have been pre recorded, or in Russian parlance ‘canned’, to be used during the ruler’s secret vacations.

The Telegram channel reported: ‘[Russian] Air Force One was absent from the capital for two days [from January 13 to 15].

‘It disappeared from radar screens in the Altai region. ‘Putin’s Altai Courtyard recreation centre is located there – where he takes baths in the blood of young maral [deer] to improve his health, prolong his life, and give him strength.’ The usual season for fresh blood bathing is in late spring or early summer.

The channel did not say if his glamorous partner – Olympic gymnast Alina Kayaeva, three decades younger than him – was with him on the suspected Siberian odyssey.

Orthodox New Year’s Day – known in Russia as Old New Year according to the Julian calendar which was used in tsarist times – is marked on January 14.

The couple share two sons, Ivan and Vladimir junior, aged nine and five, according to reports.
