We may have just found the calendar President Obama will be using to keep the count of his last full year in office.
A 2016 calendar features Russia President Vladimir Putin lifting weights, greeting adoring women and even cuddling a pooch.
The strange product, which the UK Express reports is available for just 78 Roubles (about $1.08), is “selling out” in Moscow.
The images vary greatly, going from Putin the toughman — with depictions of him lifting weights and fishing topless…
…to softer moments, such as cuddling a fluffy dog and — strangely — smelling a flower.
“I like all Russian women. I think Russian women are the most talented and the most beautiful,” the caption states.
“Dogs and I have very warm feelings for one another,” the inscription reportedly reads for this image:
No Putin propaganda calendar would be complete without the strongman donning his military hat:
“No one will succeed in gaining military superiority over Russia. Our army is contemporary, capable, and as they now say, polite, but formidable,” the caption states.
CNN reports it is “published by a tabloid Russian newspaper, Zvezdi I Soveti (Stars and Advice), which says it printed 200,000 copies.”
