The January 2011 issue features former rhythmic Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, 27, wearing a £21,000 gold Balmain dress with her hands on her hips.
Viktoria Davydova’s decision to give her such prominence in the magazine is one that is likely to irritate the strong man Russian prime minister who has scornfully denied a newspaper report that he has left his wife Ludmila, with whom he has two daughters, for Miss Kabayeva.
While there is no substantive evidence that Mr Putin, 58, is romantically linked to Miss Kabayeva, who also happens to be an MP for Mr Putin's ruling United Russia party, the alleged affair has long been the hottest gossip topic among Russia's elite.

The rumour first came to public prominence in 2008 when a Russian newspaper, owned by billionaire oligarch Alexander Lebedev, quoted a source as insisting the story was true.
Mr Lebedev shut the newspaper down soon afterwards claiming it had not been a commercial success though many suspected the real reason was to appease an angry Mr Putin.
The rumours later escalated when bloggers claimed Miss Kabayeva had subsequently given birth to Mr Putin's love child. Mr Putin has angrily claimed that there is "not one word of truth" in any of the allegations, while Miss Kabayeva's spokesperson has refused to discuss what she derided as "nonsense."

LOL.
Obama has Michelle, Putin has, WOW! Obama rides a bicycle, Putin rides a Harley with leathers. Obama watches Judo and cringes at the throws, Putin is himself a Judo master. Around the world Putin probably wins the “My president can kick your president’s ass” contest.
And not only does Putin know where the bodies are buried, he probably buried them.

Dunno, but he's standing next to Gerard Depardieu.
Oh yeah, he's no nice guy or believer in human rights or due process for sure. But I have to have some degree of appreciation for a strong person who walks the walk and will do anything he thinks is for the benefit of his country, all else be damned. Maybe I think that way because I see a complete lack of patriotism in Obama and wish I had a president who had some.
Oh OK.....He’s not as bad as the rest.....Goldie still thinks she’s in her 20’s with that hair????
