Vladimir Putin, target of mockery on TikTok

DAY

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the target of mockery on TikTok from internet users who use deep fakes to make it seem like the head of state is waddling to the rhythm of absurd music.

The videos, which were created using Deepfake technology, which superimposes someone's face onto another body, have reached hundreds of thousands of views, and a few have even exceeded one million clicks.

On most videos, we can see the Russian dictator swaying to the rhythm of popular songs on the social platform.

On others, he can be seen alongside US President Joe Biden, painting a canvas or trying to get his attention, while the Russian leader sings in his vehicle. Other videos feature North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
