Half-naked Putin takes ice bath

moscow - According to the Russian Orthodox tradition, Russian President Vladirmir Putin has taken an ice cold bath on Thursday evening in honor of the Christian Epiphany Feast.

The president, who is known for his tough side to show to the public, hung out the alpha male again after a working visit in St. Petersburg. Putin decided half-naked to jump into the ice-cold Seliger Lake. In Russia it was about seven degrees below zero at that time.
