Where Is Putin?

The Russian leader has been missing in action.

On Thursday, Putin’s spokesman announced that the president would not attend a meeting with the Federal Security Service (FSB), which he usually attends. But no, Putin was “absolutely” healthy, Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s Ekho Moskvy, before adding that the president’s handshake was so strong it could  “break your hand.”

Putin’s absence at the FSB meeting comes just a day after he unexpectedly canceled a trip to Kazakhstan. “The visit has been canceled. It looks like he [Putin] has fallen ill,” an anonymous Kazakh official told Reuters afterward, prompting a flurry of  speculation.

To make matters more confusing, on Wednesday the Kremlin released an image of Putin meeting with the regional governor of Karelia. But local Web site Vesti Karelii reported that Putin actually had met with the head of the Republic of Karelia, Alexander Khudilainen, on March 4. In fact, RBC.ru reports that a number of events posted by the Kremlin appeared to have been recycled from earlier events. If this is correct, the last time Putin was seen in public may have been March 5, when he met the Italian prime minister in Moscow.

    I believe that’s the way he acquires jewelry, with that awesome bone crunching grip. Probably relaxing in a bathtub full of purloined rings.

    Vlad is feeling a little hurt right now. Love triangles can be so hurtful.

      better looking than his backyard neighbor, that’s for sure, ya betcha!
      look into them eyes.
      a leader with a soul if ever there was one.
      wonder if he has any KGB regrets?

    that’s nothing.
    there was a governor of SC that likened himself to be a biblical (’cause he were very religious) king that took off to go Argentina tail hiking [cost the taxpayers a wad too, until someone said “hey, WTH should we have to pay for his tail hiking?” – and so he paid the state back {no harm, no foul}.
