A strange video featuring Vladimir Putin singing, dancing, and making a heart with his hands is circulating online in anticipation of Russia’s upcoming election. In the clip, the Kremlin leader is seen singing a song that portrays him as superior to other world leaders.
The video shows an animated version of Russian President Vladimir Putin singing and dancing alongside other authoritarian figures like Kim Jong Un, Joe Biden, and Olaf Scholz. The lyrics of the song highlight Russia’s perceived strength and dismiss Western politics as nonsensical.
The footage, which has been viewed over 640,000 times on various social media platforms, is believed to be part of Putin’s propaganda efforts to undermine Western sanctions imposed on Russia due to the war in Ukraine. The AI version of Putin in the video brags about Russia’s resilience to sanctions and makes bizarre claims about Western leaders.
Despite concerns about his health, Putin is expected to win the upcoming election, as most opposition candidates have been banned or jailed. The music video is just one example of the Kremlin’s use of AI to portray Putin in various scenarios, leading to speculation about the authenticity of his public appearances.
