Beneath Vladimir Putin’s chiseled pecs is a big heart. “The meaning of our whole life and existence is love,” Putin said in a speech before the Russian Geographical Society. “It is love to the family, to the children, to the motherland. This phenomenon is complicated, it lies at heart of any of our behaviors.” Putin, no slouch, added: “It is exactly the top priority which all of us should go after, and I am absolutely sure that we will succeed.”
