Vladimir Putin has increased the number of officers responsible for his personal protection to more than 800.
The Russian president, who has reportedly become more paranoid over his safety in recent months, ordered the increase at the central apparatus of the Federal Protective Service (FSO), according to a draft decree set to take effect on Wednesday.
It is the fourth time Putin has ordered an increase since launching his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The FSO is responsible for safeguarding top-level members of government, particularly the Russian president, but also his family and inner circle of officials such as the prime minister.
Its officers guard Putin’s residences and accompany him on trips, as well as managing state communications and studying public opinion of the Russian president. They are also authorised to conduct “information warfare measures”.
The overall body is thought to comprise more than 50,000 employees. According to the new decree, the cap on central staff, the body directly responsible for the security of Putin, will be raised from 785 to 812.
I just hope noone dares to bother him when hes on the floor in a pool of his own piss like stalin

I wonder how that translates into the number of officers present with him at any one time?
Lets say that you have a man at a position 24/7. Outside his bedroom door for example.
If they are working 40 hours per week, it requires 4.2 people.
Lets say for fun that he splits his time between 3 homes and 3 offices. He is known to have several identical offices so that if he does tele meetings it is impossible to tell where he is from. Are they gonna move this huge force all over the place, giving away his position?
Also, he is known to employ doubles. Aren’t they going to gurd those guys too? Otherwise people would be able top identify the doubles.

One of 800 can change the world forever. Just saying.

I don’t think the guy is paranoid, 100% some people within his circle want to get rid of him. The generals that randomly end up flying from windows show probably there is more than „lack of performance“ behind it… 100% he doesn’t trust anyone outside and within his circle. Not only that but American CIA is 100% helping Putin stay in Power in any case of a coup attempt since collapse of Russia into either Micro-States or a more crazy leader would be bad news for world stability as they might want to use Nukes on Ukraine to force the war.

If just one of them is a veteran of the Ukraine war we may have hope.

Is it paranoia if people really do want you dead?

To be fair. It is not paranoia when people are actually out to get you.

Maybe he can have students in the 6th to 11th grades each provide 17 hours of security.

Hahahhahahaa,,,,just like his buddy Hitler. Ever see the tables these dummies have meetings at…..no one gets closer than 100 feet. Putin should always remember that Hitler had the best way out of this misery!

When Hitler and Goebbels got really paranoid they were brave enough to do the right thing. Putin and Trump not brave enough!!!!

So who’s going to protect him from his personal praetorian guard? Paranoia strikes deep.

That seems weird. Wouldn’t paranoia promote a smaller group of trusted security instead of a larger group of hope for the best?

It. Only. Takes. One.
One weak link in the long chain….
Also, that’s 800 (probably) highly trained officers who aren’t fighting Ukraine. 👍
