When Putin rose, he simply took off his shirt and went fishing naked.
President Putin strolled along the Yenisei River.
Guangzhou Daily reported on August 24th that when Russian President Vladimir Putin showed off the diplomatic and military "muscles" of great powers, he was undoubtedly always able to impress the whole world. But perhaps few people can think that Putin can stimulate a large number of eyeballs when he reveals his real muscles. The photos he took topless during his vacation in Siberia last week are still talked about by many Russians.
The president undressed.
During his vacation in Siberia with Prince Albert II, head of state of Monaco, from August 13th to 15th, Putin showed the little-known side of the Russian leader.
Putin changed his formal attire of suit and tie, put on sunglasses, sun hat and jeans, and accompanied Prince Albert II to travel around the cultural and natural scenery of the Republic of Tuva. Riding a rubber raft on the Yenisei River, driving an off-road vehicle for a ride on the mountain road and riding a fine horse on the grassland, Putin is quite cowboy.
On the banks of Yenisei River, when Putin rose, he simply took off his coat, swung his rod naked and fished, so that his strong body could get in close contact with nature.
Photographers certainly can’t miss this wonderful shot, and Putin’s semi-nude photos immediately appeared in many newspapers, televisions and websites. The Kremlin also published a set of photos taken by Putin during his vacation on the official website, including a photo of Putin walking naked by the river.
People are hotly discussing
Putin’s half-naked appearance for a week has been hotly debated in the streets, newspapers, websites, radio and television, and many women in Russia have even praised the body of the 54-year-old national leader.
The Communist Youth League Pravda, one of the largest newspapers in Russia, reported that since the newspaper published Putin’s semi-nude photos, a large number of netizens have posted messages on their websites, commenting on Putin’s "robust body", among which many female netizens "exclaimed with joy and did not hesitate to praise".
Evgeniya Albat, the host of the radio program, was criticized by many female listeners for commenting that the semi-nude photos were inconsistent with Putin’s status as President. Many female listeners also sent her emails to express their appreciation for Putin’s strong body.
The Communist Youth League Pravda also published a report entitled "Get a Body Like Putin" on the 22nd, in which a fitness instructor described in detail how to exercise a strong body like Putin. On a semi-naked picture of Putin published in the essay, the editor also specially marked the main muscle groups on Putin with arrows.
For the photo of Putin riding a horse in a tight white shirt, the report said: "The outline (muscle) under the shirt is very clear."
Sports "cool" will
Although he is over half a year old, Putin still maintains a strong body, which is not unrelated to his love of sports.
Putin loves judo very much, and has been practicing it since he was a child. At the age of 18, he has become a master of black belt. He is also a master of Sambo wrestling. He was awarded the title of "Sportsman" in Sambo wrestling and was elected honorary president of the International Amateur Sambo Wrestling Federation in 2005. He also often swims and likes skiing.
In Russia, where athletes come forth in large numbers, sports are not only helpful for Putin to keep fit. He once said in an interview: "Sports help me form an understanding of the world, people and people."
"He is cool," said Sergei Markov, director of the Russian Institute of Political Studies. "This is his image during his presidency-cool."
