"Rare video of Putin

In 2010, Vladimir Putin and his wife Liudmila joined Russia’s population census like normal people

Questions about language, income and daily life got so unexpected that even they laughed"

"There is no world leader who knows the details of Islamic culture as well as President Putin.

His handling is shown to be extremely precise, taking into account the culture of the person standing before him during her honoring and the awarding of a presidential medal to her"

Comment :

"Putin always takes care to break the stereotypical image of the Western leader; he understands that Muslim peoples place great importance on "moral appreciation." His precise conduct during honors, his consideration of personal spaces, or even the manner of presenting medals and the Quran (as seen in previous instances), sends a message that reads: "I understand you and respect your particularities.""

"Russian President Putin, noticing that he had overlooked shaking the hand of a woman who extended her hand to him during a ceremony, turns back and shakes her hand."

A commenter says this is a blind singer named Diana Gurtskaya, which makes it all the more poignant

This clip of Putin was widely remarked upon.

Here, someone juxtaposes that at the end with the initial scene where the American 'leader' [ie. follower of is not real] callously leaves his wife out in the rain and cold !

Comment by Olga :

"We just love him. He represents all the moral values I was raised to believe in"

"Vladimir Putin declared Russia the Land of the Rising Sun:

When "Land of the Rising Sun" is mentioned, Japan comes to mind.

However, Russia's Chukotka region is located further east than Japan.

Therefore, the sun actually rises first on Russian soil"
