Vladimir Putin to star in reality TV show

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the star of a new TV series to be aired on the nation's state television, called 'Russia, Kremlin, Putin'.

The first one-hour episode allows viewers to follow him as he takes his holiday in Siberia. There he has plenty opportunity to display his virility and there's even the suggestion he has bears fleeing in fear.

The show is balanced and can in no way be considered propaganda, according to the Kremlin.
