Putin is desperate to unlock the secret of longevity, experiments are underway

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is studying old monkeys in an attempt to unlock the secret of eternal youth as part of his goal of living to 150. It may sound like a fairy tale, but Putin is desperate to make this impossible dream a reality.

A mysterious scientific expedition has begun in Russia, centered around 74-year-old Putin's desire to live longer. Where thousands of monkeys are at the center of research to find the formula for increasing human lifespan. From their blood, brains, blood vessels to internal organs of the body - nothing is left out of the test list. But what exactly are the scientists looking for? Can any biological secret hidden in the monkey's body change the timing of human death? And is the ultimate goal of this research really to conquer death?

The details of this sensational research have been reported in various international media outlets, including the British Daily Mail and The Sun. It is led by 80-year-old Mikhail Kovalchuk, a close associate of Putin and an informal advisor on science. The Kurchatov Institute, one of Russia's leading research institutions, has more than 7,000 monkeys of 22 species. The research is specifically aimed at a group of long-lived monkeys, who are between 18 and 30 years old.

Kovalchuk said at the Kurchatov Genome Forum in Moscow recently that these monkeys are being monitored at different stages of aging. Their biochemical components, blood vessel conditions, brain and internal organs are being tested. A full health checkup, including brain scans, is being done. 

He said that research on primates, or monkeys, as they have the greatest physiological similarity to humans, could be helpful in laying the foundation for extending human lifespan.

In addition to conducting experiments, Russian researchers have also created a special biobank to store blood samples from long-lived monkeys. The project is being run jointly with the Petrovsky Russian Scientific Surgery Center. 

According to the center's director, Konstantin Kotenko, analyzing these samples can provide important information about the biological processes of aging. Meanwhile, there is widespread discussion in various circles about the connection between this research and Putin's desire for longevity. During a visit to China in September 2025, Putin was heard talking to the country's President Xi Jinping about the possibility of humans living to 150 years. The conversation, captured on an open microphone, also raised the possibility of extending human life through organ transplantation and advances in biotechnology, and even achieving immortality.

Later, at an exhibition on artificial intelligence in Moscow, Putin himself said that it might be possible for humans to live to 150 years. However, he believes that even this lifespan is not enough.

Monkey research is not the only Russian initiative in the scientific effort to increase human longevity. Research is also underway in Russia on 3D bioprinting of living tissues and organs, research into creating human organs in genetically modified piglets, and gene therapy to slow down the aging process of cells. For 2027-2029, it is planned to allocate about 18 billion rubles for various projects on longevity and health-preserving technologies.

Putin's daughter Maria Vorontsova is also involved in these ongoing efforts to increase human lifespan. Maria, an endocrinologist by profession, recently announced plans to develop an anti-aging drug on state television.

In other words, Putin's dream is not only to stay in power for a long time, but also to challenge the natural lifespan of humans with the help of science. However, there is still no guarantee that humans will be able to live to 150 years if the secret of aging is discovered in the body of monkeys. Only time will tell how successful Russia is in this mission to evade death.
