What calendar devoted to Vladimir Putin would be complete without a shirtless entry? Here's one January image.

Putin likes to project himself as a keen outdoorsman.

March's photo feature a martial theme.

In April, we get a more relaxed, even avuncular Russian leader.

The picture for May is of a more formal Putin with heavy security.

June is all about the adorable puppy with the Russian President as animal lover.

For July, it's back to the active, outdoorsy leader.

December's image shows Putin enjoying the trappings of power.
