Vladimir Putin may have 'liked' the topless feminist protester who confronted him with an obscene slogan daubed on her back - but she is less than impressed with his response.

Protester's fury after Putin 'liked' topless demo

Alexandra Shevchenko, who stripped to the waist in front of the Russian president as he toured a trade fair in Hanover alongside German chancellor Angela Merkel, said that he was ‘really stupid’.


Putin claimed to have been entertained by the demonstration, telling a press conference, “As for the protest, I liked it.” Shevchenko said: “Putin is a b*****d. If you’re a normal person you have to be against him.

Shevchenko was one of a group of five female protesters who confronted the two world leaders.
