Putin's strange toilet practices

When the Russian President goes to the toilet, a whole world springs into action. Vladimir Putin's little "business" receives very special attention…

The Kremlin chief bodyguards -the Russian equivalents of secret services- must collect his waste after every trip to the bathroom. The information is reported by the French magazine Paris Match, echoed by The Daily Digest. Vladimir Putin's droppings are then sealed in a package and placed in a suitcase to be returned to Russia. Why a suitcase? To avoid attracting curiosity and arousing suspicion.

Putin, paranoid?

The reason he travels with his "little package" in first class, is because he fears foreign governments might analyse his stools and gather essential information about his personal well-being. According to Paris Match, Putin doesn't want to leave DNA behind, which could reveal certain details about his state of health.

Good luck to those doing the dirty work!
