It looks like the Russian Prime Minister is still married and that is indeed, news to everyone. The articles that cover this topic are both of good quality and worth reading.
The first article examined today comes from the Australian. The Australian in its turn reprinted the article from the Times. Interestingly enough it’s impossible to access the same article on the Times website, as the articles there are only for subscribers.
Tony Halipan, The Times reporter, wrote an article that is impossible to stop scrolling down till one finishes reading it. He starts with a captivating lead, indicating that Mrs. Putin is not wearing a wedding ring on her right hand. He comes back to it late in the story, explaining that in Russia people wear a ring on their left hand (and Mrs. Putin had a ring on her left hand) if they are divorced or widowed.
The author moves the story forward with the rumours that have been going on for years about Putin being married to Ms. Kabaeva ( a former Olympic gymnast). Ms. Kabaeva just had a baby boy and there’s much speculation about it being Putin’s son. The story is complimented by a close up shot Mr. And Mrs. Putin, wearing the same coloured clothes that, as a matter of fact, matches the sofa as well.
The story in the UK Telegraph is less detailed but still covers the subject matter well. Osborne focuses his story more on Putin rather than on his wife. It looks like it would have been a better option to do it the other way around (like the Times did) as his wife did not appear in the media for a considerable period of time. Nevertheless, it is a well written story that has footage of Mr. and Mrs. Putin speaking to the censor official.
