PARANOID Vladimir Putin has reportedly made his lackeys install three identical offices across Russia so he can hide out undetected.
The despot has created a trio of high-security bunker palaces as he grows increasingly scared of being killed, according to high-ranking Kremlin defector Gleb Karakulov.

The 35-year-old was formerly an officer in Putin’s elite personal security service before he fled Moscow in October with his wife and daughter.
Karakulov now sees his former boss as a war criminal for his continued invasion of Ukraine which has killed countless civilians.
In an attempt to expose the despot for who he is really is, Karakulov has now detailed intimate secrets about the Russian leader.
Speaking with the Associated Press and the anti-Kremlin investigative unit the Dossier Center, Karakulov said Putin has intricate security arrangements in place as he constantly fears being killed by his enemies.
One of these safety measures is the creation of identical meeting rooms across Russia.
There are secret offices at Putin’s residence in St. Petersburg, Sochi on the Black Sea and in Novo-Ogaryovo on the outskirts of Moscow.
All three are exact replicas of each other and feature the bare minimum inside, according to Karakulov.
Images inside Vlad’s offices show he has a presidential pencil holder engraved with a double-headed eagle ona huge wooden desk.
Inside sits 10 perfectly sharpened pencils next to a computer screen and keyboard.
On Putin’s left sits three white old school phones and a microphone where he is said to conduct both national and global business.
Also ever present is a Russian flag sat behind the presidential desk chair.
All three rooms are windowless – leading to serious secrecy over where the dictator is at any given time.
Karakulov claimed Putin’s team designed the rooms especially so no one knows which of the three locations he is in.
Official reports would sometimes claim the president was in one place when he was actually somewhere else, the defector claimed.
Security officials would deliberately bring a plane or send off a motorcade to one location when Putin was never actually planning on leaving, Karakulov added.
He recalled: “There were times when I knew he was in Sochi.
“The TV is on in the background; the news is on, and they show him conducting a meeting in Novo-Ogaryovo.
“So, I ask a colleague in Sochi, ‘Has he left already?’ ‘No,’ he says, ‘he’s still here.’

“I think that this is an attempt to confuse, first, [foreign] intelligence and second so that there are no assassination attempts.”
This also creates confusion over which of Russia‘s 11 time zones the dictator is in.
The office trickery is believed to be the latest in a string of operations carried out by the Kremlin in response to Putin’s growing fear of being killed.
According to one of his former guards, Putin lives in constant fear of being assassinated and doesn’t trust his own staff.
Putin mysteriously demolished one of his most beloved palaces amid claims he is paranoid of it being targeted by a Ukrainian drone.
Satellite images showed how Putin’s pricey Bocharov Ruchey palace, which overlooks the Black Sea in Sochi, had been bulldozed with just a patch of empty land left behind last year.
He was even said to regularly wear bulletproof vests for public appearances, reports have claimed.
The report claimed the ageing tyrant has been wearing body armour at outdoor events “since at least 2023”.
“He has been doing so on the strong recommendation of the Presidential Security Service (SBP), a unit within the Federal Guard Service (FSO) that protects the president,” said The Moscow Times, citing one of its sources.
