Vladimir Putin’s cringy 2026 propaganda calendar shows Russian leader body slamming judo partner, driving snow mobile

Pootie-poot’s a pinup boy!

A new Vladimir Putin propaganda calendar features cringey photos of the war-mongering Russian president looking powerful and masculine each month — including portraits of him body-slamming a judo partner and driving a snowmobile.

The 2026 calendar released by the Kremlin features the dictator in a different, supposedly candid shot each month, alongside a quote from one of his speeches or remarks from the previous year.

In the pages, Mr.January-through-December is seen shaking hands with adoring constituents (August), ruggedly hiking (July) and playing piano in a suit and tie (June).

“Russia’s border never ends,” his February quote declares.

“My recipe for energy: Sleep little, work a lot and don’t whine,” his August quote advises.

Curiously missing from its pages is any sign that Putin is responsible for launching a ruthless war against Ukraine in February 2022.

The calendar is meant to depict Putin as the father of the Motherland — a strong leader, an intrepid sportsman, a brilliant historian, and even a wise lifestyle coach, experts said.

“They are positioning Putin as this iconic figure, reminding everybody how cool he is, how much in charge he is, how much he’s kind of the living symbol and embodiment of literally everybody’s days,” said Fiona Hill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, told the New York Times.

“It’s the idea of a man for every season,” said Hill, who ran the Russia desk at the National Security Council during the first Trump administration.

The pinup, which is released annually, is sold at newspaper stands and bookstores across the country for $3.50 each.
