Here is a piece of news – and a photo to go with it – that will surely put a smile on your face. Since it's Monday, it's safe to assume that plenty of you desperately need something to giggle about, just to brighten up your mood.

Not to beat about the bush, here is what this news is all about: apparently, a market in Moscow, Russia's capital city, now sells Vladimir Putin toys.

The action figures, featured in the photo accompanying this article, show the Russian President wearing nothing but boots and military pants, and riding a scary-looking bear.

Needless to say, Vladimir Putin doesn't in the least look worried about the fact that the ferocious bear he is straddling could turn against him and kill him in the blink of an eye.

On the contrary, the Russian President appears quite at ease for a man who is riding a bear with a seriously oversized head and a freakishly big mouth packed with sharp teeth.

It is unclear whether the real Vladimir Putin has until now had the chance to lay eyes on one such action figure. For some reason, I do believe that, if he did, he very much liked it.
