Russia - Putin's night out: Vladimir and Dmitry bond over pints and pistachios as they take in a football game - by Will Steward
Vladimir Putin has yet again brandished his macho image, strolling around Russia's top seaside resort watching the football with Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev - and posing for pictures with young blondes. The Kremlin prime minister went on a boys' night out with his protege, Dmitry Medvedev, dropping into a sports cafe in Sochi to watch the Russian national team play Argentina.The appearance of the men together was seen as a move to show Russians that they remain united despite rumours to the contrary. For their farewell, Putin gave Medvedev a bear-hug, making clear the premier was the senior partner in their relationship even though he holds the junior office. Medvedev smiled for the cameras. But as he turned away, Russian TV noted his smile evaporated as he took the wheel of his off-roading jeep.
