Challenging the Kremlin: Discordant tales of former Moscow patriarch's death emerge
The General SVR channel, a presence on Telegram and platform X, regularly publishes speculative reports concerning Vladimir Putin and his regime in the Kremlin. Media reports suggest this channel is operated by a person, or potentially a group of agents from Russian services.
Information disseminated on the General SVR channel has never received official acknowledgment from the Kremlin. Considering the type of information shared - including propositions that Putin has died and is continually replaced by doubles - this is unsurprising. The alleged stand-ins for the Russian president are reportedly unthinking and prone to error, as well as suffering a range of health issues.
Furthermore, General SVR channel expounds that Nikolai Patrushev, the director of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, is in fact the true force governing Russia. Reportedly, he is orchestrating a complex special operation against the Baltic states.
Mind-boggling claims regarding the patriarch's death - was it a Putin-ordered assassination?
Though the Kremlin has vehemently denied rumours of Putin's death, they have also disclaimed preparing for war with NATO despite similar statements regarding Ukraine. Nevertheless, this time General SVR is spreading enigmatic information about the death of Moscow's Patriarch Alexei II.
The clergyman passed away in 2008 in Moscow. According to official records, the cause of death was a heart attack. However, new rumours surrounding Alexei's death have surfaced. The cryptic profile reports suggest that the patriarch was assassinated using a toilet and a poison-filled syringe as murder weapons.
Following the "execution" of the former patriarch, Alexei II-substantiated by Putin (he was allegedly murdered in the toilet by repeatedly hitting the back of his head on the toilet bowl, followed by an injection of a toxic substance), the selection of his successor was simple, says General SVR.
In the wake of Alexei's passing, Cyril ascended to position, viewed as an ideal candidate from the Kremlin's perspective. However, he has recently begun to push back, sparking speculation of an impending storm. The patriarch is wise and well aware of the capabilities of the decision-makers in Russia. The passing of his predecessor serves as a stark reminder of what they're capable of, states the post.
