CaliToday (05/11/2025): In a startling revelation that blends Kremlin intrigue with quasi-immortal ambitions, Vladimir Putin is allegedly plotting to cling to power until he is 97 years old. The end goal of this 25-year gambit, according to a new report, is to pass the presidency directly to a secret son, who is currently just 10 years old.

| Putin wants to live for a very long time |
This shocking dynastic plan has emerged in the wake of Putin's peculiar and closely-guarded conversation about achieving immortality with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
The 'Immortality Pact'
The succession theory gained traction after a candid, and seemingly overheard, exchange between the two 72-year-old strongmen.
During the chat, the Chinese supremo reportedly remarked, "Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 you are still a child."
Putin replied: "Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and (you can) even achieve."
Unaware they were being monitored, the pair allegedly mused about the possibility of living to 150—a discussion that Chinese officials have since desperately tried to suppress. This exchange has provided a bizarre new lens through which to analyze Putin’s long-term plans.
The 2050 Timeline: "Project Ivan"
In a new online documentary, investigative journalist and historian Ilya Davlyatchin claimed this obsession with longevity is directly tied to a calculated succession plan.
"We even know the age Putin wants to live to - 97 years of age," Davlyatchin revealed on the We Can Explain broadcast.
The logic is chillingly simple: The year 2050.
"It's simple," Davlyatchin explained. "Then his eldest son Ivan will turn 35 - the age when one can be elected to the [Russian] presidential post."
This son, Ivan, is widely believed to be the child of Putin and his long-rumored mistress, former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who is 30 years his junior. Images of the alleged "tsarevich," or prince, have surfaced, yet his existence remains a state secret in Russia.
"But there is a problem," Davlyatchin notes. "Putin does not admit that he has children, just as he does not admit that he has a mistress... about whom, however, the whole world knows."
This plan is underpinned by Putin's renowned fixation on life extension. Russian researchers were commanded last year to surrender their anti-ageing studies. He is also reportedly partial to ancient, almost pagan, Siberian treatments for prolonging existence, including bathing in the blood of maral deer antlers.
A Crowded Field: The Other Contenders
However, Putin’s former speechwriter, political analyst Abbas Gallyamov, suggests this dynastic plot faces significant competition from other factions within the Kremlin. He outlines a crowded field of potential successors.
1. The Daughters: Gallyamov believes Putin's two eldest, and officially unacknowledged, daughters are the most probable leaders. "It could be one of Putin's daughters....absolutely," he declared.
Maria Vorontsova (40): An endocrinologist who is, fittingly, believed to be involved in longevity research, a field dear to her father.
Katerina Tikhonova (38): A former energetic rock'n'roll dancer who now heads the Inopraktika Development Institute, a key driver of Russia's initiative to replace Western technology. Gallyamov notes, "For some reason, he allows them... to start participating in politics... She can be promoted literally in three months."
2. The Praetorian Guard: These are the ultra-loyalists forged in security and war.
Col-Gen Alexei Dyumin (51): The former bodyguard and current Kremlin adviser, who once famously saved Putin from an angry brown bear by firing his pistol to scare it off. Gallyamov suggests Dyumin has the crucial backing of Alina Kabaeva herself.
Denis Manturov (56): The current Deputy Prime Minister, lauded as a war hero for ramping up Russia's military production "faster than the whole of NATO combined."
3. The "Banker's" Son: This candidate represents the deep, shadowy network of St. Petersburg elites who form Putin's inner circle.
Boris Kovalchuk (47): The son of Putin’s personal "banker," Yury Kovalchuk. His uncle, Mikhail Kovalchuk, is a notorious "conspiracy theorist" and anti-ageing adviser who heads Russia's premier nuclear facility. Mikhail has championed the creation of a "Russian genome" and has claimed foreign nations are plotting to engineer a new breed of "servant human."
While the scenario of a 97-year-old Putin handing a nuclear-armed state to a son the world barely knows seems like fiction, the Kremlin's inner circle is now a complex web of bizarre obsessions, dynastic ambitions, and raw power struggles. The race to succeed Vladimir Putin, it appears, has already begun.
