Historic pictures have emerged of two men taken in 1920 and 1941 who look remarkably similar slightly younger versions of Putin, now aged 63.
It has led conspiracy theorists to dream up a version of events as to if it is actually him.
The picture, taken in 1920, is of a Russian solider who does look like the leader.
A separate snap said to be of a Russian solider and taken in 1941 also looks like Putin and the 1920 individual.
Disclose.tv revealed the theory, reporting: "On social networks are circulating pictures from 1920. and in 1941, for which some people claim that they are pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"In fact, supporters of the thesis that Putin is almighty and immortal, have launched a story that their president is a mythical creature that resides on our planet for hundreds, if not thousands of years."
Some have claimed he was actually Vlad the Impaler, who was born in 1431 and spawned the Count Dracula legend.
Others suggest he is a time traveller like Dr Who.
It is not the first time dopplegangers of world famous people have emerged to support time traveller theories, with images looking like Nicholas Cage and John Travolta in pictures from years gone by surfacing online.
