I coined a song to describe the occasion:

Putin, kuda vy ushli
Vo vsem mire ili na rodina
Vy okruzheny taynoy
Oni govoryat, chto memy ne mogu opisat' vam
I zemlya mistifitsiruyetsya v vashe otsutstviye
Velikaya Rossiya, tem ne meneye spit v mire
Znaya, chto tebe ostanetsya na yego meste
Dazhe v to vremya kak , kazalos' by, daleko
Rasskazhite nam, dorogoy Volodya, - gde zhe vy ushli?

Putin, where have you gone?
Around the world or in the motherland
You are surrounded by mystery
They say memes cannot describe you
And the earth is mystified at your absence
Great Russia nevertheless sleeps in peace
Knowing you remain at its stead
Even while seemingly far away
Tell us, dear Volodya - where have you gone?

I couldn't resist; another of the memes making the Internet rounds.
