Putin's Mystery Eyes
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin speaks during a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov in Kiev, Ukraine, Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010. Was it a flying elbow during judo practice? A little nip and tuck? Or exhaustion from too many flights? Russian and Ukrainian media speculated feverishly Thursday over what could have caused two dark patches under Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's eyes. This was not just tabloid fodder even the respected daily Kommersant joined in. Putin wore heavy makeup at a meeting Wednesday with Ukraine's pro-Russian leadership, but yellow foundation could barely cover up bluish, bruise-like blemishes and puffiness on his cheek bones.
