Putin‘s scientists are developing the ‘world’s first drug’ to delay ageing, it has been revealed, months after the Russian dictator, 73, told an AI conference: ‘It is probably possible to reach 150.’

Putin is known to be obsessed with longevity. His foes fear he has a quest to live and rule for many decades before handing the reign over to his eldest son Ivan Spirodonov, now aged only 11.

Denis Sekirinsky, a Russian science and education minister, claimed his country’s researchers are on course to develop the world’s first gene-therapy drug designed to block the RAGE [Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts] gene, the activation of which triggers cellular ageing.

He offered no concrete evidence for the bold claim, though it aligns with Putin’s long-term goals.

‘[A promising area] is gene therapy of ageing,’ said Sekirinsky, a Kremlin-linked technocrat.

‘The RAGE gene is a receptor whose activation triggers cellular ageing, whereas blocking this gene, on the contrary, can prolong cellular youth.

‘Based on this principle, an ambitious goal has been set — to develop the world’s first gene-therapy drug that specifically blocks this receptor.

‘The field relies on advanced genetic technologies and represents one of the most promising avenues in the fight against ageing.

Yes, as I have been pointing out and writing about for years.

Putin is part of a cult that is desperate to create the Philosophers Stone and grab the keys to immorality.
