A new photo of Surkov has excited social networks
A photograph of Russian Presidential Aide Vladislav Surkov leaning on a cane appeared on social networks.
The photo was published by the “NEBOZHENA” telegram channel.
“I’m willing to bet that you have never seen Surkov like this before. New image or gout?” the channel asks.

It is not specified where, when and under what circumstances this photograph was taken.
“What’s wrong with Surkov?” writes ex-speaker of the DPR Foreign Ministry, political strategist Konstantin Dolgov in his blog.
This is not the first time that a photograph of Surkov has become a reason for all sorts of rumors and speculation.
Thus, in May last year, the aide to the Russian President commented with humor on numerous reports from the Ukrainian media, which the day before published information about the “fatal illness” of the curator of the Donbass republics.
The reason for the publication was a photograph of Surkov taken during the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel in Sochi. The assistant to the Russian president looked either thinner or emaciated.

And the editors of the Moscow magazine “Russian Pioneer” published a photograph of Surkov taken from a different angle at the same event in Sochi
“Just as you cannot step into the same river twice, you cannot see the same person twice. I've changed, of course, and that's okay. Walking around with the same facial expression all your life is boring and unhygienic. How to wear, without ever taking off, some pants. Change is inevitable. Including changes for the better, which need to be cultivated. It seems to me that I have succeeded in this so far,” Surkov said then.
Let us note that a PolitNavigator source told us that he had recently seen Surkov, saying that he looked quite healthy and walked without a cane.
