Russia's President Vladimir Putin may have been removed from office by army factions or wealthy businessmen either working together or against one another, says Israel's former ambassador to Russia Zvi Magen.

Despite soon-discredited claims to the contrary by the Kremlin, Putin has not been seen in public since 5 March andrumours surrounding his leadership continue to circulate both in Russia and abroad.

Putin is due to meet Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atambayev in St Petersburg tomorrow (Monday 16 March) to discuss trade and investment. If he fails to appear, the rumours will become even more frenzied.

“The movement of the army around the Kremlin indicates that there is a change in government”

According to some theories, Putin just has "man flu"; others, that he is seriously ill or even dead. Others have suggested he is in Switzerland to attend the birth of his love child with Olympic gymnastics medalist Alina Kabayeva.

However Zvi Magen says the truth could be equally improbable: that Vladimir Putin, the seemingly invincible iron man of Russia, has been muscled aside.

"There are many signs of a coup," Magen told Israel's Haaretz newspaper. "The movement of the army around the Kremlin indicates that there is a change in government, or that an attempt at a change in government is being carried out."

Everyone acts like Kim Jong-un is a loser but he goes into a hiding for a couple of weeks and a few months later Putin hops on the bandwagon. 

Let's face it, Kimmy is the Lady Gaga of politics.
