Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) talks to First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov during the opening of the MAKS-2007 international air show in Zhukovsky outside Moscow, August 21, 2007.

There's something chilling about this image of President Putin, a former KGB agent, talking to one of his deputies. The sunglasses, the tight crop, and the telephoto foreshortening all add to the drama. It reminds of a poster for a spy movie. Do you think photographer Alexander Natruskin was trying to say something about his country's leader?
