2. Was he shirtless? That would seem to be his standard MO.

5. Dunno.

'In sunglasses, black jeans and black fingerless gloves, the Russian prime minister clearly reveled in the moment, smiling and waving to the enthusiastic crowd.'

He seems to think highly of himself!

"You came here, because you are free people, and you can go wherever you want," Putin said, adding it was deeply symbolic that people from all over the Europe gathered at the bike show.

ALSO, 'According to a survey of 1,800 respondents conducted by the SuperJob.ru recruitment web portal, the person the most Russians associate with the expression �a real man� is Vladimir Putin. The prime minister is more popular with women than with men (16% and 11%, respectively).'
