I think the picture in the submarine is my favorite.
Authoritarian leader media is strange.
What's up with that biker gang? They all look crippled. Did Putin fight them?
No way, shirtless on horseback with sun goggles and totally-out-of-place-with-biker-gang are the best.Originally Posted by XPav
I like how the photos go something like "Shooting a whale with a crossbow", "Riding a horse bare-chested in Siberia", "Hanging out with biker gangs" and then "hugging a puppy".
There's something for everyone, except folks who want to see him give birth.
#26: "I'm not looking at you, Comrade. I'm looking at where I'm going to punch you if you get uppity."
For that, you have Oglaf.
#34 should just be captioned "Da, it is good to be the gangster."
For some reason the horse closeup one reminds me of Teddy Salad, CIA agent.
I just like that they threw him in a completely unnatural leather jacket and fingerless gloves for it. Uh, you're not fooling anyone, grandpa.
He's just so...manly.
Race car driver, hockey player, pianist, diver and saviour of mother Russia. Swoon.
Just sayin'.
Mmm, old man hot.
Even the dolphins are all over him.
Do they not do nail polish in Russia? Yana could use at least a little bit.
He has been overcompensating to look badass since he found out twenty years ago that his last name is funny in a phonetic sense to Americans. "Vladimir" sounds scary Soviet badass, "pootin'" takes all of the scary out and makes the morons on Fox and Friends giggle when they have to talk about another country for some annoying reason.
Seriously, what would you do? Tackle the problem head on and deal with the blowback, or lay low like a sub and be silent but deadly?
Both. Have seen the picture of him the sub?
PUTIN IS LAYIN LOW.
#21 FTW.
I did see the sub pic, it's a rare example of him hiding from his true nature of letting himself let it all out in public, confident enough that no matter what a stink he makes he is cool enough to survive it.
Screw the Dos Equis guy; Vlad's truly the most interesting man in the world.
Stay thirsty my friend.
The Cyrillic alphabet has extra letters just to describe his manliness.
He ended the Winter War with his dazzling smile.
It is said that the only time he was lost for words, the Tunguska Event was the result.
He is the Most Interesting Russian In The World.
"I don't always seize control of countries, but when I do, I prefer to do it with an iron fist."
Stay Russian, my friends.
Vladmir Putin is Don Frye Approved.

A friend of mine always kept mentioning the shirtless horse riding picture but I never knew about the rest. I'm partial to the F1 photos myself being a fan. But the best is him hugging the dog, especially after seeing the ones before it such as with the tiger.
He bends FRYING PANS with his BARE HANDS!
And shoots WHALES with a CROSSBOW!
"Personal photographer." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Where are Merkel's action pics? Huh? Huh?
Wait, don't answer that.
And he was doing it at a Putin-jugend camp so he could really impress the future generation of Russians.

There's a link to the English translation a bit further down for all you non-Russophones.
"Eet eez time!"
"Time for vhat, Vladamir?"
"Time ... for close-up."
