Close popoverPutin hugs former high school teacher in new Kremlin videoVladimir Putin drove himself to central Moscow, where he hugged a former school teacher and invited her for dinner at the Kremlin, a video released by the Russian government on Monday (11 May) shows.
Footage showed the Russian leader in the driver's seat of an Aurus Komendant, a Russian luxury car brand, arriving at a hotel.
