During his next public speech, you'd notice that his eyebrows are slightly bushier, his voice is slightly deeper, and he's suddenly an inch taller.

"Doppelgangers! Listen!

There is a good news and a bad news for you this morning.

The good news is: Our Great Leader has survived the dangerous attack last night.

The other news is: He has lost his right arm. "

Took me a few moments to get this

I tried searching but to no avail, is it a quote?

If he loses his right arm, and Doppelgangers have to look exactly like him, they also have to lose their right arms

If Putin loses an arm, all of his doppelgängers will need to lose an arm too. Otherwise they’ll be immediately identified as doppelgängers.

It’s a pretty well known thing that Putin frequently uses lookalikes for public appearances. It’s apparently an old habit from when he was a KGB agent. So if someone snipes him from a rooftop, it’s probably not even him; He can claim to have miraculously survived the shooting, then carry on as if nothing happened.
