If you look at the shots of him walking ( 3:13 ) carefully you will spot that his left hand swings alot more than the right with each step. It is believed that his is because of his old KGB training where they were told to walk like this so they could access their gun faster.
It's not so much training as an instinct. I've done that for years and it was just something I picked up. It's also more to keep you from accidentally sweeping a suit coat or jacket open and exposing your sidearm, as well as keep it from blowing open from a sudden gust. If you carry a gun every day for several years you notice these little behaviors, like people reaching back to make sure their shirt didn't ride up from sitting while getting out of the car.
+Enjoying the Crisis you are no doubt right but in his specific this is something that was actually in the Kgb training manual from when he was part of it.

While Putin's photo-ops are still a form of propaganda, it creates a much more respectable culture in Russia than we have in much of North America.

No matter what people may think or say (including me) you have got to admit that he's pretty badass in some of those pictures. Extremely smart and suprisingly photogeneric.
All this bullshit is simply not true. We Russians during summer do stuff like that as well. We ride horses, swim in lakes and and wonder around bears for fun, hunt and stuff like that. Putin does it too, but to us it's not extra ordinary to us, it's just normal stuff
And I am not trying to defend Putin. I probably won't vote for him the next election, but still all this stuff: hunting, riding a horse, guns - many Russians do it as a hobby.
It's not uncommon to do that sort of thing in the US either, but his photo ops seem a little more forced that we're used to.

***** What would you call the 1998 Ruble crisis? The Russian state defaulted on most of its national debts and declared a moratorium on its international debts. That's as close as you can get to a full sovereign default (i.e. state bankruptcy) as you can get. That having been said; the economy was already in recovery a year before Putin came to power. If Putin was single-handedly responsible you'd have expected the economy to start rising 1 or 2 years after Putin's election to office.
Thanks to great God this part of the world has escaped the Kardashian histeria. Also, I want Vice to say that Putin is not the only political leader who does what he is doing with his public figure. I don't like the perspective from which this short is talking about Putin - limited American perspective however typical.

Duke Baatarkhuyag Yes, like in any other country in the world...
***** What would you call the 1998 Ruble crisis? The Russian state defaulted on most of its national debts and declared a moratorium on its international debts. That's as close as you can get to a full sovereign default (i.e. state bankruptcy) as you can get.
That having been said; the economy was already in recovery a year before Putin came to power. If Putin was single-handedly responsible you'd have expected the economy to start rising 1 or 2 years after Putin's election to office.
Similar to how the North Korean government tries to portray their leader.
But Putin does it better c:
***** u r not funny Jack...
I never gave my opinion on the matter, but if you can't see how it can be bad, no point in me trying to explain it to you.
This aged well.
Who’s on a Putin binge in March 2022 ☠️☠️
Putin:How do I convince Russians to love, respect and admire me?
That one guy that gave him the idea:
Dentistry seems nice
1:04
Western spy squat
Sarah Yong I CANT- 😂😂😂
He has one heel on and one heel off the ground.
*Big Brain Moment*
Azrikail Half western spy
When you’re that badass, things start to get hot
Who's here after he invaded Ukraine
Explain what russians think about Kim Kardashian next time.
They don't think about her
Thanks to great God this part of the world has escaped the Kardashian histeria. Also, I want Vice to say that Putin is not the only political leader who does what he is doing with his public figure. I don't like the perspective from which this short is talking about Putin - limited American perspective however typical.
Rakhila Eila Ibildayeva it didn't, ppl in Russia know bout Kardashians
"stepped in somebody else's profession for a day and had incredible succes in it." well said
How is that well said lol
So what have we learned ? Putin is healty, unlike Hillary x')
And Trump
@@JJ-te2pi Trump is healthy.
@@salvulcano5023 a bit TOO HEALTHY.
Just because someone is a politician that doesn't mean they shouldn't enjoy life
I can see the jealousy of VOX folks.
3:28 Didn't expect Kurt Russel going to a Putin concert :D
weird??? odd???? crazy??? guess I'm the only one who likes it.....
2:51 Noooooo one's.... slick as Putin
No one's quick as Putin~
He's promoting healthy life 😂
good work Vox! great stuff
In Sovjet Russia, the horse rides you!
It's pretty weird said this way...
I mean, Putin is a badass.
He still is a badass?
@@harakaat9 yess
He is a badass
Not supporting Russia invading Ukraine war
I am with the Common Civilians but that doesn't mean he is not a badass
His personality and politics are different
Personality and politiks different?😂 he is literally murdering kids and wifes and mothers and his own soldiers for that matter with nothing to gain,, only lose
@@harakaat9 if haven't done that then Russia would have been invaded in future by Western Countries and USA
@@harakaat9 Still a badass.
I smell Chuck Norris getting dethroned...
Some day Daniel Craig is going to play Putin in a movie 😅😅😅😅
Bizarre? No that’s hot.
0:32 is absolutely hilarious NGL
A daily life of an instagrammer
He is literally trying to be the most interesting man in the world.
Actually he doesnt even try, he already is.~
does he drink dos equis?
I like to think he does ^
he already is
Putin: Adidas
The whole world’s leader combined: Abidas
I see Daniel Craig in him.
So grateful for Vox's amazing coverage and unique perspective...plus the thoughtful comments, wow! Is die-ronic a thing yet?
"seem powerful and loveable" He is both, very honest and straight forward. His pictures are just funny.
And an apolitic authoritarian dictator who works with cartels to strengthen his position. Not to mention his war crimes against minorities of both religion and race. Poor people of Russia, dealing with a dictator who is in Putin's position is worse than dealing with any other dictator
Vox, please do a video on Grexit
Yeah. But one thing is correct. If something happens to putin or he suddenly dies, there would be absolute chaos in Russia
1:25 That's not a dentist appointment, that's Putin showing of his interrogation and torture techniques from his days in the KGB
bullshit
Showing Putin sing was absolutely unnecessary.
3:13 Comrade is that western spy on the roof?
I've just realized that this is the firs time I have heard Putin's voice
I’m just glad this wasn’t posted in November
Real life James Bond
This didn't age so well
Well, he's a man of culture
3:47 first time I've heard him speak english
Putin is a typical person who rides a bear while hunting
There should be a spy movie with Putin and the phrase would be
My name is Putin, Vladimir Putin
Vox, maybe, just maybe, the man is trying to have fun. Wow, mind blowing!
