Props to Lyudmila Putin


Here's a little known fact: Lyudmila Putin, yes that Lyudmila, is an Honorary Board Member of the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Here's a wider known, and sad fact: Russians are frequent victims of human trafficking. According to the UN's most recent report on the subject, Russians accounted for an alarmingly large number of human trafficking cases in:

Spain: 347
Germany: 182
Turkey: 157
Netherlands: 24
Poland: 12
Italy: 8
Bosnia: 5
Cyprus: 5

Keep up the good work Lyudmila!

Shame on you, Spain.

I'm a lady with eyes and a heart. That's my deal with Putin.

Putin has one of the most unattractive smiles ever. If he'd remain poker faced, he'd be nice looking. I think he's aware of this because he rarely smiles broadly.

Thanks for sharing the report. I found it alarming that 86% of people convicted of trafficking in Georgia and Azerbaijan are women. What the heck?

Pirates(and)Diplomats said...

@Phatima, agreed. That was an eye-opener.

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on
your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
