Putin made two public appearances this week just days after the Wagner Group staged a revolt.
Military experts told Insider that the Wagner coup could very well be the beginning of the end for Putin's multi-decade reign.
On Thursday, the Russian president attended the Agency for Strategic Initiatives forum, where he toured an exhibition of award-winning concepts for new national brands that can substitute Western products, according to Russian state media agency Tass.
In a Telegram post, Russian state news agency TASS shared video of Putin interacting with the NexTouch interactive touch screen.
The Thursday appearance came one day after Russian state television broadcast Putin meeting "hundreds of people" in Derbent, Dagestan.
