Vladimir Vladimirovich, perhaps a little insecure at the thought of being pigeon-holed, perhaps simply grown tired of hearing those around him sing the praises of his masculinity after his habit of throwing down his rifle and ripping off his shirt after he has rescued a child from the maw of a bear only to charge headfirst toward a giant tiger threatening one of his aides, has now decided to take up the art of watercoloring. And all for charity! Take that Sarkozy!
I say good for him. It might boost his ratings with that cross section of the public (read: everyone) who is now beginning to experience the harsher side of relying entirely on global oil speculators to drive your economy.
Two notes: one, for those who don't read Russian those numbers in the second link represent the amount of votes Putin has received in a nationwide poll of who are the "disgrace of Russia"; two, the blame which Putin and Medvedev are placing on the US and, in general, international forces conspiring against the purity of Russian economic leaders in tearing down the facade of their nation's wealth will, inevitably, lead to someone (not just Zhirinovsky) blaming all of this on the Jews.
