Putin’s Tragic Secret

Published by

When this photo of Putin’s meeting with the students of a prestigious British public school surfaced, Putin flipped and started demanding that the photo be taken down. There was nothing secret about the meeting but it’s clear from the photo that Putin is not tall. And the poor fellow can’t tolerate any public reminders of his height.

The idiot has no idea that the only person making a big deal out of his height is himself. Nobody in the world would have noticed this photo had Putin himself not made a huge scandal about it.

Also known as the Streisand Effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware something is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread the information is increased.[1]

It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently drew further public attention to it.

Are there no lifts for his shoes? Or convenient boxes?
“Shortstack!”
“Doll hands!”

  He does wear high heels. I have pictorial proof somewhere on the blog. 🙂 But even in heels he’s very short.

    -How short is very short? I read conflicting reports.

      It’s a state secret 😄 but people who have seen him say he’s 5’2 – 5’3.

        Various Internet sources list Putin as 5’7″. From pictures of him standing next to 6’0″ George W. Bush, that sounds about right.
        
        If Putin were 5’2″, Medvedev would meet the criteria for midget.

        Those sources get the information from the official Kremlin releases.
        
        Remember that he stood next to Bush on 8 cm platforms.

        I think he has no right to complain, as he is still taller than I am. :p I’m under five feet.
        
        I was going to say he has some tall shoes to fill (pun definitely intended), but it looks like Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev were similarly short. :p Maybe he aspires to be more like Sancho the Strong (in terms of height, at least). If I were him, I’d put on a pair of stilts that made me seem like I was 7’3″, not a puny pair of heels. Stilts are much more fun. 😀

On the other hand, he’s three inches taller than his Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev…

  Why do you think he chose Medvedev and is so faithful to him in spite of Medvedev’s penchant to behave like an ass in public? His diminutive stature is Medvedev’s greatest asset. Putin doesn’t fear appearing standing next to him.
  
  It’s all so pathetic.
