At a valedictory press conference, Putin flirts as he asserts Russia's might
Over the course of Thursday's event, the 55-year-old Russian president spoke with evident authority on everything from Russian regional development projects to German party politics.
In a blue suit and striped tie, he spoke with his hands flat on the table, boring in on questioners with his trademark intensity. He spoke, as usual, in short, simple sentences that often came to a sharp point, and he frequently bantered, or even flirted, with reporters, sometimes eliciting laughter and applause.
From time to time, he sipped from a delicate teacup.
