Could this be why you have such a man crush on KGB...

"He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I’ll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten..." —Russian president Vladimir Putin, sounding like Michael Jackson

"In the footage, Putin, 53, is shown walking up to a small crowd of tourists in a Kremlin courtyard and crouching down in front of the boy, who appears to be five or six years old. As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy's shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.

"He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I'll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made. There was nothing behind it really," Putin said, smiling.

Oh for crying out loud.......that rumor was spread by Litvinenko, a major enemy of Putins who worked for the old Oligarch Boris Berezovsky....who wanted to be President of Russia...and just so you know the facts Litvinenko converted to Islam in Britain via friends he became acquainted with who were exiled Chechen separatist leaders.

The family of the boy was honored Putin had chosen their son to express “affection” to in this manner...and never took it for ore than what it was.....he’s an adult today and spoke about that rumor he learned was spread. He saw nothing more to it then and does not today.
