Inside Putin’s $26 Billion Quest for Longevity
When Vladimir Putin was captured by a hot mic telling Xi Jinping that humans could achieve immortality by replacing their organs, some dismissed the exchange as eccentric small talk between aging autocrats.
But Putin is very serious about it.
Last month, Russia’s government announced that scientists are developing a gene-therapy treatment aimed at slowing cellular aging as part of “New Health Preservation Technologies,” Putin’s $26 billion longevity initiative.
All these efforts are part of the national longevity initiative he unveiled in 2024, which promises to save 175,000 lives by the end of the decade.
Nearly 500,000 Russian soldiers have been killed so far during the Putin war on Ukraine.
Not to mention all the Ukrainian dead soldiers.
Don't you think this is a bit odd?
