News reports from Russia indicate that the presidential love of mushroom picking continues unabated.
Vladimir Putin has climbed a mountain and picked mushrooms and berries in the Siberian wilderness to celebrate his 67th birthday according to the official reports.
He and Mr Shoigu, his defence secretary, gathered lingonberries and mushrooms, chuckling at one with a pine cone caught on top, and picnicked around a campfire, apparently.
