I always wondered about his health. I've seen state photos of him sitting at the end of a ridiculously long table. People interpreted it as a power move, but it could also be because his immune system is fucked. Not a doc, but I know there's quite a few treatments that end up suppressing the immune system.

Although given the amount of people he's ordered poisoned, I'd want to keep my distance from everyone who might hold a grudge too.

Putin being at the end of the table is probably because he's terrified of being assassinated, but the photos of him at the last Victory Day Parade look terrible. Out of makeup, he looks look a walking corpse.

IIRC the long tables started during COVID.

Not too long ago there were videos of him where his hands were shaking until he grabbed the table.
