| Russian news agency RIA Novosti says Steven Seagal has performed at a concert in Crimea on a stage decorated with the flag of pro-Russian separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine. Seagal, who knows Russian President Putin, performed Saturday night in Sevastopol at a concert organized by a motorcycle gang of Russian nationalists known as the Night Wolves. The news agency reported that Seagal was then handed a shirt with Putin's face on it, which he held aloft as he thanked the crowd. "I'm Russian," Seagal told one man at the event, which was filmed by Russian media. Seagal said that his grandparents come from Russia. Earlier this year, Seagal described Putin as "one of the great living world leaders." Seagal also said he "would like to consider him as a brother," according to the Moscow Times. |

| #4 Not a communist, Putin doesn't pretend to do things for the world anymore. He's a straight out oligarch or fascist. It is about Russia first, slavs second. |

| #3 Putin is certainly an effective world leader - in a Russian kind of strongman way.(Think Czar) |

| #2 The only thing worse than being a communist is bragging about being a communist. |
