How healthy is Vladimir Putin?
Well, you know, he always projects this kind of image of a virile sort of strong man.
He likes taking his shirt off.
He hasn't done it in a while now, but he used to have his picture taken shirtless and, you know,
jumping in ice lakes or, you know, sort of riding horses and whatnot.
No one knows.
I do investigative journalism and I speak a lot to Western spooks, you know, the CIA, people like that.
And they've always said there's no truth to these claims that he's somehow ill or, you know, decrepit or whatever.
But thanks to some new reporting from The Wall Street Journal,
we do know that Putin is spending billions of dollars trying to extend his life, maybe even live forever.
And that in Russia, there's a long and fascinating history of people fiddling with human longevity.
That's coming up on Today Explained from Vox.
