The now-elderly Putin has finally stopped cosplaying in uniform few years ago, so now all we have these bizarre photos from a ridicalously long table sitting very far (allegedly because of his fear of Covid) from the people in uniforms.

What's weird he's never wore the Chekist uniform since he was dismissed from the KGB, not even during his short role as the head of the FSB.

Putin can't pose with his wife, because he's left her. She had been with him during the bad years when he was just a St Pete gangster and taxi driver. She's still wealthy and well connected tho.
