Dramatist Vladimir Golyshev, who has been studying Putin's biography for about 10 years, believes that the Russian leader is currently relying exclusively on medication. According to Golyshev, Putin's recent disappearance for more than a week only confirms this.
The dramatist is the author of two books about the Russian president. They were published in 2006 and 2011. Golyshev suggests that the head of Russia has changed significantly over the last month and most likely has an oncological disease.
According to Golyshev, rumors about the reasons for the Russian president's disappearance have been circulating for a long time, but there is much more truth to them than one might assume. In particular, this concerns Putin's influence on making important decisions for the country and a possible coup.
Golyshev disagrees with the thesis that Putin has supposedly been replaced – he is the same person, but already a different Vladimir Vladimirovich.

Carefully analyzing the video of the meeting between the head of Russia and his Kazakh counterpart on March 16, the dramatist noted that the president's physical appearance indicates a serious onset or complication of illness. To present himself in front of the cameras, Putin took a horse dose of painkillers and stimulants. Golyshev believes that this is why he had a look as if 'high', strange smirks, he hardly spoke, and his voice was quiet and hoarse.
Golyshev is convinced that recently a new power structure has already formed in Russia, which has reached an agreement with Putin. Allegedly, the president remains in office, he is shown on screen, but Putin no longer holds power.
Interestingly, notes Golyshev, just during Putin's disappearance from screens at the beginning of March, a film about Crimea was released on television. The dramatist does not rule out that the 'new leaders of Russia' could not predict Putin's reaction to the film and decided to keep the president out of sight. The reason for this reaction lies in the fact that the entire film is essentially evidence against Putin and his illegal annexation of Crimea.
After the president is gradually ousted from the political elite, Russia will close its 'Novorossiya' project and withdraw all its military from there. It is important for Russia to regain international trust and become 'good' again.
Speaking about who could take Putin's place, Golyshev noted that it should be a person not connected to the Ukrainian conflict in any way. The dramatist cited the names of Sergey Sobyanin and Alexei Kudrin as examples.
In general, Golyshev concluded, Russia needs someone similar to Petro Poroshenko – a diplomatic world politician. Only such a person can change the situation in Russia, he believes.
