A leaked audio of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin from Beijing in September 2025 sparked a new debate across the world on the issue of increasing age. Questions began to arise whether humans could conduct any such experiment by which the lifespan of common citizens could be increased. Actually, China’s President Xi Jinping and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin were discussing whether the human lifespan could be extended up to 150 years. After this the discussion also intensified whether Putin and Jinping themselves want to live for 150 years?
Now, according to the new information that has come from the Russian Presidential Office Kremlin, the Russian Presidential Residence is conducting a research to find ways to increase the lifespan. There is a preparation to spend 26 billion dollars (2,500 billion rupees) on this research. The Wall Street Journal has reported this.
According to the report, President Putin himself is supervising this scientific project. The project is being led by Putin’s daughter Maria Vorontsova (endocrinologist), and Mikhail Kovalchuk, head of Russia’s Kurchatov Institute.
What kind of preparations are there in Russia?
1. Russian scientists started work on this project in 2024. Its beginning was quite slow, but now this project has gained momentum. 3 major works are being done under the project-
2. Cellular aging is to be slowed down through gene therapy. The effort is to eliminate the genes that increase aging through this therapy.
3. Regeneration of damaged human organs through 3D bioprinting process. Putin said that if the organ is replaced then life expectancy can increase.
Efforts are being made to make this experiment successful by developing human organs in gene-matched small pigs. Russian scientists have claimed that they have bioprinted rat thyroid gland and human cartilage tissue. Russian scientists hope that this process can be completed by the year 2030.
The project has been kept very secret
This project to find ways to increase lifespan has been kept quite secret. 73 year old Putin monitors this. Only scientists close to him have been involved in this project. Russia is struggling with age related problems. The average age of men in Russia is 68 years, which is lower than any other country in Europe. The average age of men in Europe is 78 years.
