Do we hate Russia yet? Let's add some more gasoline to the vitriol being spewed. I am really starting to depise little big men.
Just watching The Gentlemen on Netflix. Great dialogues, good characters created by Madonnas ex. ;) The rich will do anything to stay rich.

East Germany was a vassall of the Soviet Union, thus the KGB was superordinate. This "Stasi officer" crap in a below-zero-level tabloid is nothing but sand in your eyes. In the 09's, Putin was heavily involved in gangland activities while being advisor to the mayor of St. Petersburg. And don't forget the "caucasian terrorist" bombing affairs in Moscow during his presidential periods. It is ridiculous to believe he was not in the know.
I'd like to comment on this:
" strange that Putin is looking towards the right in the picture rather than straight ahead at the camera, which is normal practice for official identity documentation. "
It is quite possible that this was normal for official IDs.
I live in one of the past Warsaw-pact countries (not Germany), and the normal practice here for official ID's photos was actually looking slightly to the side, so part of the profile and one ear (left) had to be visible. It was a requirement, hence the word "practice" doesn't do the justice. Just like the formal requirement now is to look forward, and this is called the biometric photo. The change was made quite some time after the fall of communism, I believe with the advent of facial recognition software, and also to make it more compatible with most other countries. First it was changed for passports only, then also for personal IDs, issued by government, which are mandatory here.
Actually, it seems that some photo studies still make the one with partial view of left profile, they call it "non-biometric", and these are intended for non-governmental ID, for example school IDs. However, the electronic student IDs (used for higher education students) have the same formal requirements as official personal ID and passport, i.e. frontal view (biometric photo).
