Painting for the people

So, what creative projects have your capitalist leaders been up to recently?

None, they’re too busy writing memoirs and worrying about the imminent collapse of the global financial system. Vladimir Putin, however, has been a creative tour de force recently.

Not only has he had time to show us how to fish topless and judo wrestle the crap out of each other, but now he’s breaking art-world records with his paintings.

This, Putin’s first painting, fetched 37 million rubles ($1.14 million) for a charity auction.
