Via RIA Novosti:
MOSCOW, October 3 (RIA Novosti) – Russian President Vladimir Putin fell victim to technology at a public event Thursday when an emotional response to a question about the Arctic was unintentionally caught on microphone.
“Nutball,” Putin said under his breath at a meeting with senior functionaries of the ruling United Russia party after being asked about a recent proposal to put the Russian section of the Arctic under international control.
His actual response was more politely worded, but no less harsh. He called the idea “utter nonsense” and “an unpatriotic position.”
The idea was pitched last weekend by Sergei Medvedev, a professor of political science at the prestigious Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
