Putin Said to Have Two Identical Offices

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a visible presence during Russia’s COVID-19 pandemic, but only on TV, shown working from his office at his official residence outside Moscow, the New York Times reports.

But Proekt reports that Putin’s isolated workaholism isn’t all that it appears. He has actually been working at an identical office set up at his residence in Sochi, a resort town and popular vacation destination on the Black Sea.
