The Kremlin has just approved the release of the Russian presidential calendar in 2020, mainly focusing on Putin's image in diplomatic activities.

Different from the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin topless, to the shooting range or participate in outdoor physical activity, the approved calendar released on November 27 focuses on the image of Putin as international politicians. In most of the photos, Putin dressed elegantly and met with international leaders.

The April photo in the calendar shows Putin sitting next to US President Donald Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady of France. October was a picture of him and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi sitting in a limousine.

The November calendar page shows the smiling Kremlin boss talking to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Observers say the calendar appears to contain the message that Russia is no longer isolated after the 2014 annexation of Crimea.

The 2020 calendar was released after a year of diplomatic victory for Putin. Most recently, he reached an agreement with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to shape the end of the Syrian civil war. Putin also welcomed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The Russian president has just celebrated the 20th anniversary of becoming the largest national leader in the world.

However, not all calendar photos are Putin's diplomatic activities. A photo shows Putin's love of animals when he is holding a leopard.

The Kremlin has released a calendar of presidents in recent years, portraying a friendly, sociable leader who loves outdoor activities. The Putin calendar is very popular in Japan, especially the images he plays with animals.
