21. Putinisms

Putin has presented specific catchphrases famous during his annual Q&A assemblies, during which he takes questions from anyone across the nation. An example is "shearing a pig," a phrase he used when asked why he hadn't extradited Edward Snowden, the U.S. whistleblower, in 2013. Putin said he wouldn't reply to that matter because "it's like shearing a pig - lots of squeals but little wool."
