About 20 young women stripped to their bras in central Moscow on Friday to show their support for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to return as Russia’s president. Putin has not said whether he will run in next year’s presidential election but the women, who had pink flowers in their hair, jumped around in a central Moscow square before removing white T-shirts showing a rose-coloured portrait of him.
“We want to see him as our president in the future.

Putin! Putin!” the women screamed to a small crowd of men who stopped to watch them. A day earlier, bikini-clad students washed cars for free at Moscow State University, advertising the service by using a play on words involving Putin’s initials.
