BELGRADE - Former head of American diplomacy Madeleine Albright believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "smart, but very evil man", and that Russia is a country that provokes, and then feels offended.

The ‘worship’ of Russian President Vladimir Putin has reached new heights in a cafeteria in Siberia, where the owners have dedicated the whole establishment to the Russian leader.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin knelt on the pavement in Moscow’s Red Square to kiss the tummy of five-year-old Nikita Konkin in 2006, the encounter led to a bizarre twist of events.

“I wasn’t ticklish at all,” said the boy who claims that he felt so proud that he didn’t wash his stomache afterwards. “I felt something good.”

President Vladimir Putin probably approved a Russian intelligence operation to murder ex-KBG agent Alexander Litvinenko with radioactive polonium-210, a British inquiry into the 2006 killing in London concluded. 

Litvinenko, 43, an outspoken critic of Putin who fled Russia, died after drinking green tea laced with the rare radioactive isotope at London's Millennium Hotel. 

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu has said the Turkish government "does not take seriously" Vladimir Putin's recent harsh statements, so he will not respond to the Russian president's "undiplomatic and insulting" remarks in the same manner. 

Much ado has been made of Vladimir Putin’s unusual walk where his right hand remains stiff but left arm swings freely. Rumors say he had an in-utero stroke to a childhood bout of polio, with even statements that it may be a sign of the early onset of Parkinson’s disease.

Authorities in Western Europe and the FBI have interrupted four attempts of gangs in Eastern Europe to sell nuclear material to ISIS in the last five years, according to Associated Press.

They have stopped criminals with Russian connections that sought to sell radioactive substances to the Middle Eastern extremists.

In the backwaters of Eastern Europe, authorities working with the FBI have interrupted four attempts in the past five years by gangs with suspected Russian connections that sought to sell radioactive material to Middle Eastern extremists, The Associated Press has learned.

The lawyer of Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko's widow says the former KGB agent was killed "on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin."

In addition, Ben Emmerson said that the Russian authorities "on several occasions" tried to prevent the investigation into the death.

The Russian state must have been involved in the 2006 poisoning of ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko with a radioactive isotope, which amounted to "a nuclear attack on the streets" of London, an inquiry into the death was told on July 30.
