AN AL ANLM INESUS
A hilarious spoof activity book packed with stories, games and quotes Pictured bare-chested astride a mighty steed, or plunging semi-naked into the icy water, Vlad cuts a fi ne figure of a ‘man’s man’. But when the hunting, fishing and posturing is done, it is possible to witness the softer side of Russia’s heartthrob premier. Canoodling with a puppy, or offering a hand of condolence to a semi-naked mixed martial arts fighter, Putin represents a new take on old-school masculinity. Using carefully curated quotes and pictures, coupled with games, puzzles, stories, tips and imagined ephemera, Putin will offer a sometimes shocking but mostly hilarious portrait of everyone’s favourite Russian action man.
