A few weeks back we published a chart of Putin's emotions:

However, since its publication here new evidence came to light, and it seems like Russian President Vladimir Putin DOES have various emotional expressions, after all.
So we heartily apologize for the initial misleading formation, and publish this rough guide to his official and unofficial grins, smirks and funny faces:

...is he Agent Smith incarnate?

or Russian saintly king?

Avi Abrams said...: Dear Alicia,

Let me assure you, the thought has crossed my mind. Alas, Good Old Bush's faces can be found in every bookstore; there are wall calendars issued every year. Too obvious. But still... check out "Presidents and Babies" post from December 2006 :); ___
Unknown said...: I guess you're right (and all politicians suck, anyway).... You're still cool in my book! :-); ___
Anonymous said...: The top serious of pictures needs to add "Murderous."

Thanks for the slaughter of thousands of Chechens, Putin, not to mention the Slaughter of free speech in your country.

RIP Anna Politkovskaya; ___
Anonymous said...: I think you mean to blame Yeltsin for the Chechens Jess

Damn him for killing those people, that were trying to kill his people

Free speech is relative and a loaded privilege that idiots abuse for their own personal fame and gain

Think of all the things you cannot say in any free society... the list is endless

Remember Jess, there are two sides to every coin; ___
