MOSCOW, AUGUST 19 –  Dive Vladimir Putin’s bathyscaphe to the bottom of the Black Sea has caused controversy in the Western media: some compared the president with the “villain” of the Bond, the other said that the Russian leader has won “fotocorevnovanie” US President Barack Obama.

The Russian president has his immersion in the bathyscaphe in the Black Sea won the “unofficial fotosorevnovanie” Barack Obama joked American site Twitchy. The newspaper reminds that the US president is currently on vacation, spending time on the beach in Massachusetts.

“Perhaps Barack Obama the White House built of sand and Michelle admired seashells on the coast” – ironically the publication, whose author complains that the photos of the American president on the beach there. By contrast, the publication placed next to pictures of Putin in a bathyscaphe.

Another American edition, The Detroit Free Press, published a photograph of the President of Russia in the deepwater unit, asked her to come up to the inscription. The best will be published in the Sunday edition, the newspaper promised.

“Imagine Angela Merkel in a submarine”

Other US publications are no different complacency with regard to Vladimir Putin.

Newspaper The Washington Post in an ironic vein lists similar actions Putin, the Russian leader “rode shirtless on horseback, pump iron, skied, beat in arm wrestling and drove a sports car.”

The popular tabloid The New York Post compares Putin with a “villain”, as if descended from the screen of the James Bond film “The Spy who loved me” “narrowed eyes eager for adrenaline Putin seemed to be looking for a camera or a femme fatale.” Publication Foreign Policy notes that Putin has “returned to his tricks, but Russia has a big problem.” “Bi-bi-si” also mocks Putin immersion, believing that in this way it seeks to demonstrate to the West and Ukraine, “who is the boss.”

Foreign bloggers are using the image of Putin in the bathyscaphe to create different fotozhab.

So, one of them together with the Russian president in the submarine floats former CIA officer Edward Snowden, and the boat itself floats in the pool next to the White House.

Working in the US specialist in the field of Public Relations Dmitry Klimentov notes that unlike Western politicians to Putin is not the case, as can be perceived by the subjects. “Putin is doing what he wants, for him all this boyish toys which he likes because of its past” – said the expert.

Satirical description of strange and funny behavior of politicians, especially when they get into the lens next to some appliances, – a frequent target of the Western media. A similar problem was faced in 2004, the Democratic candidate in the presidential election, Senator John Kerry.During a visit to Cape Canaveral current US Secretary of State put on a blue suit astronaut who are aboard the space station.

Such as ridicule before the era of the Internet in 1988 and has faced US presidential candidate from the Democratic Massachusetts Governor Dukakis, who in a tank factory in Detroit climbed into one of the tanks to take a photo in support of the Armed Forces. Photos of the candidate in a suit with a tie and a huge, not the size helmet quickly turned into an object of parody.

The American edition of Politico still calls this image “one of the worst election in the history of emissions.” Dukakis himself subsequently lost the election Republican George Bush Senior.

Klementov notes that many Western politicians – as opposed to the Middle East and Latin America – not typical manifestation of machismo: “Yes, and imagine Angela Merkel in a submarine.”

The subject for journalistic irony – though quite friendly – Angela Merkel still become.

In 2013, her photo on holiday in bathing suit and robe published in 2013, the German media.

“Merkel in his underpants stops the movement” – this was one of the headlines in the tabloid press. However, it was not about photos Merkel, but the parody Billboards with her picture on one of the shopping centers of Berlin. Drawing on a billboard, made by order of the manufacturer of underwear, portrayed Merkel in a bathing suit, and next – a group of German politicians, men in multicolored underwear.

One of them was a German politician of the Social Democrat Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Merkel’s challenger in the elections and the current head of the German Foreign Ministry.
