First we saw him shirtless while fishing. Then he was pictured at the wheel of a massive racing truck and shooting a tiger in the Siberian forest... with a tranquiliser. He has also appeared operating a train, sailing on a submarine and co-piloting a fighter jet.
Now Vladimir Putin - the world's most manly leader - has released yet another display of his own masculinity: a DVD entitled 'Let's learn judo with Vladimir Putin'.
The world's most fearless leader: Vladimir Putin attends a judo class
in 2005
The same photo appears on
the cover of his new DVD
...'Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin' is the product of collaboration between Putin - a black belt - and former World and Olympic judo champion Yasuhiro Yamashita.... Putin said the title was little more than an 'advertising trick'.
Anyone who watches it 'will be learning not from your humble servant but from real geniuses' of the martial art, he said.
Putin gets ready to present the DVD against
a backdrop of judo images
'Without sports, it's impossible to speak of a healthy way of life, about the health of the nation as such,' he said.
The original publication of the fishing photos made Putin a national sex symbol....
It's raining men: Russian President Vladimir Putin
fishes in the headwaters of the Yenisey River in 2007
...women who visited its website posted comments on Putin's 'vigorous torso' and said they 'were screaming with delight and showering him with compliments.'
Russian gay chatrooms and blogs were particularly intrigued by the photos.

When is he going to wrestle a crocodile, like Idi Amin did?
Just don’t wear a flightsuit, Putie, or the American libs will turn on you.
Does PUTIN shave his chest?
What a queer.
Take your act to San Fran, Putie.......
It's too wide a swath to be there b/c of,say, a shirt collar, and, besides, who wears just a shirt collar? A shirt collar is attached to a shirt which covers the chest which, in this case, is far darker than the neck? Could this photo be a ham-handed photoshop?
Looks like he’s had a body wax ............this is too funny
Putin is such a queer little fag.
What an A$$hole.
In the summary pane, I thought that was a 'T'. < /barf >
How very North Korean of him. When he goes golfing I bet he gets a hole in one every time too.
I’ll give Vladimir Putin this - he loves his country. That said, he needs to understand a healthy people need freedom.
EWWWWWWWWW
Putin might as well wear a t-shirt saying “I’m Gay”. He is SO gay, there is no doubt. He is doing everything he can to try and prove he is a manly-man. Classic gay denial.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama's tan lines didn't get much attention. People should realize that his beach frolic this summer was to work on his tan.
Hitler loved his country too.
LOL! Oh, that goes without saying.
When does Oliver Stone do his movie and who will play Putin?... any suggestions?...............
Your post, and similar posts on this thread, frankly sound like gay projection.
