Vladimir Putin, Drunken Lecher

A documentary aired on German TV called "Putin the Man" and was quite uncomplimentary to one of the most powerful people on the planet.

Among Putin's weaknesses:

• A 'drunken letch' during his time as a KGB spy
• Was prepared to shoot unarmed protesters in Eastern Germany in 1989
• Underwent a secret facelift in 2010
• Travels with a personal chef because he is paranoid about being poisoned
• Is 'terrified' of growing old
• He has survived 5 assassination attempts in recent years
• As head of the Dresden office, he was lazy and a drunk
• He was fond of hard liquor
• He wanted to run his own spy network but his bosses thought he was too immature
• He beat his former wife
• His gym is filled with expensive American sports equipment

A popular book on Putin is The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.
