Russia's president Vladimir Putin with a 2016 calendar

Russian newspaper 'Zvezdi I Soveti' (Stars and Advice) has printed 200,000 copies of a 2016 limited edition calendar, so all of Putin's followers can 'spend the whole year with the Russian president'.

The issue shows the country's leader in a variety of situations and each month's image is 'accompanied by a quotation from the man himself, on topics ranging from his love of dogs, Russian women and fishing to the country's growing military power'.

Having in mind that Putin's popularity ratings in Russia usually are about 80%, it is not a surprise that the calendar was a huge success and it was sold out quickly.
