For years, Vladimir Putin has liked to present himself with a bare chest and in the middle of action - some of the Russian President's adventures in a photo series.

Once again, the head of the Kremlin presents himself as particularly manly and promptly takes off his shirt in front of the camera.

Snapshots of a floating Vladimir Putin, like here in 2017, would otherwise escape them.
