taylor_m on 24 Apr 17I don't understand why Putin is making a big deal of this, if it was anyone else he probably wouldn't mind and might even laugh behind closed doors. But because it's him it's a big issue?

mhennings622 on 24 Apr 17I think Putin is definitely making a big deal out of one picture, if he doesn't want people to make fun of him or say what they want about him he shouldn't put himself in the spotlight.

racosta116 on 24 Apr 17Freedom of speech isn't much of a right in Russia, but clearly Putin has some insecurities if he went this far.

isaaclidgett on 24 Apr 17Why is this surprising at all? He is one of the most powerful rulers in the world why would he allow his people to mock him with pictures? Especially pictures depicting him as a gay clown. Not only is it disrespectful it is just dumb in my opinion.

amcclary122 on 24 Apr 17Putin is taking this to the extreme. It was just people protesting what they believe in and he got so upset about it that he decided to put people in jail for it.

ahayden800 on 09 May 17I think that this is being over dramatics. The picture is not harming anyone, people should not be put in jail over a stupid picture.

lmakram on 09 May 17As a public figure, like any, Putin should accept the pros and cons of being in his position, this included.

morgann1 on 09 May 17I dont think they should have went that far and banned any images of vladimir because he should know that being at such a high power people are going to be making photos and comments that arent so pleasing.
