What started as a casual trip to a trade fair in Germany for Vladimir Putin took a pleasant turn for the Russian as he was approached by a topless protester, and judging by these photos, he was extremely pleased.

The protesters were part of Ukranian political activists Femen, who clearly aren't as big a fan of of his work as he is of theirs.

According to Deadspin, in a press conference afterwards, Putin said he enjoyed the protest and that the people who organised the trade fair should be thankful for all the free publicity.

Angela Merkel was also there, but seemingly not pleased as the Russian President by the topless protest.
