Translated from the official site of Russia’s ruling party “United Russia”.

This Tuesday, at a meeting of the Council for Culture and the Arts, Russian President Vladimir Putin stood up for the public image of Russian girls.

“We have a lot of modern women who do not abuse alcohol” – the head of state was quoted by “Interfax”.

In this way Putin responded to the statement of archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov). The priest believes that in recent years the image of Russia is more often represented not by a “modest girl leaning on the birch” but by a “drunken girl with a bottle of beer”.

Putin urged archimandrite not to exaggerate the state of matters. “Father, you are overdoing it. I know how sensitive you are about the topic of struggle with alcoholism and we all are very grateful to you for it. But we will discuss it later again. Right?“- said Putin.

This news wasn’t left unnoticed by Russian netizens who started a lively discussion of the topic.

Reactions of Russian netizens

Russian girls drink Putinka

Pay attention to the brand of vodka the girls are drinking. It’s called… “Putinka”!

robin gud:  Archimandrite Tikhon hinted about his daughters .. And he was offended …Архимандрит Тихон на его дочерей намекнул..А он обиделся…

tutopt.ru-Zukerberga:  I know how sensitive you are about the topic of struggle with alcoholism and we all are very grateful to you for it. But I don’t know ……………….. whether it is good when the woman is sober …….. But we will discuss it later again.Я знаю, что вы к этому относитесь очень чувствительно и боретесь с пьянством, мы вам за это очень благодарны. Но не знаю……………….. хорошо ли это, когда баба трезвая……..Мы с вами потом еще подискутируем

Юрий Цыбин:  Putin should attend the graduation parties in schools, colleges, universities …Путину надо побывать на выпускных вечеринках в школах, техникумах, вузах…

Cassandra:  To archimandrite Tikhon: “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”Архимандриту Тихону: ‘Лицемер! вынь прежде бревно из твоего глаза, и тогда увидишь, как вынуть сучок из глаза брата твоего’

Jess:  Statistics of Putin’s accomplishments speaks for itself. Russia is first in the world by the number of deaths from alcohol, the number of drug addicts, deaths caused by drugs, number of deaths in road accidents, number of women smokers, number of abortions, etc. etc.Статистика путинских достижений говорит сама за себя. Россия на первом месте в мире по числу смертей от алкоголя, по количеству наркоманов, по количеству смертей от наркотиков. по количеству смертей в ДТП, по количеству курящих женщин и подростков, по количеству абортов, и т.д. и т.п.

иуда сребренников:  Archimandrite wasn’t far from the truth. Архимандрит был не далёк от истины.

genakor:  It seems that this priest likes to spend time in brothels.Поп видимо всё больше по борделям шляется.

mr.dawletov2010:  “We will discuss it later again. Right?” – said Putin.
In order to discuss with Shevkunov, who wrote the bestseller “Unholy saints and others”, one firstly must be an educated person.‘Мы с вами потом еще подискутируем’, – сказал президент. Чтобы дискутировать с Шевкуновым, написавшем бестселлер ‘Несвятые святые и др’, нужно для начала быть образованным человеком.

новый челoвеk:  Lords will argue about Russian girls?) How cute it is when tsar and priest talk about serfs.Господа будут спорить о русских девушках? ) как это мило выглядит, царь и поп о холопах

Hozer:  Girls! Take this archimandrite to court for defamation and libel. That’s a sure win case. Девушки! В суд на этого трихомодрита подавайте за оскорбление и клевету. Беспроигрышное дело.

Vladimir Putin and Russian Girls – The Special Relationship

One shouldn’t be surprised with the gentlemanly behavior of Vladimir Putin.

Actually, the special relationship between the President and Russian girls started long time ago…

In February 2012, less than two months before the presidential elections a number of video ads was created in which young Russian girls were urged to do IT for the first time… with Putin!
