It’s not a secret that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi from time to time visits his friend. For instance, he can come to Russia to spend the weekend and go fishing with Putin somewhere in the Altai. Just like on this photo.
Or if it is necessary to test the Russian amphibious aircraft… Italian politician Berlusconi, together with the President of the Russian Federation climbed aboard of the plane, and even sat at the helm. It happened in 2009.
Here they visited the mini-horse of Vladimir Putin, which the president gave the nickname “Vadim”. The poor animal embarrassed to see such distinguished guests with journalists…
Here you can see the friends are with their former wives on a walk in Sochi. Yes, not only Putin is divorced, Berlusconi also failed to save the family.
This is also in Sochi. The company is actively discussing something on the pier. Probably they discuss where to spend the rest of the evening…
That same evening, but without the ladies. Probably, on the pier, Putin and Berlusconi just asked their wives to spend time separately…
The president, like a hospitable host, is telling about Russian culture. For example, two friends are drinking tea at the Museum of Russian on this picture. Berlusconi is also very hospitable – Putin’s daughters rested in Sardinia a lot of times, in the house of Italian politics.
Once in the Kremlin there was a funny incident. During the press conference, Berlusconi said that international problems are very serious, but he doesn’t have time to discuss them, because he is very hungry.
It turned out that politicians like not only fishing. They also like winter hunting.
Here is an interesting photo. During the meeting on Russia’s accession to NATO (yes, Russia thought about this question, but the cooperation of special commission on this issue has been stopped because of the conflict in Ukraine) Berlusconi thought of winter hunting…
Not only Berlusconi visits Putin. The head of the Russian Federation also visited his friend and rested on his Villa “Certosa”, which was later sold to someone from the Russian oligarchs.
And of course, such guest won’t arrive without a gift. This book has probably pleased Silvio Berlusconi or badly amused… Later it became known that Putin gave the Italian a book entitled “The effect of Berlusconi”, which was released in Moscow.
Yes, true friendship is reliable! As the saying goes, a friend always supports.
And, of course, a friend of your friend is your friend. So who, if not the best friend of Putin, could support Dmitry Medvedev.
