165. Even if there were sightings, which Putin was sighted?

Even if it was the wrong Putin that fell and had to be revived, how does anyone but security know which Putin. Even when Brezhnev died, people doubted that, just because of Soviet media. It was always humorous with Pravda as the source as just every so often they printed something truthful. Now it appears that telegram has replaced Pravda.
