China Daily Online, October 8th According to foreign media reports, on October 7th, Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated his 64th birthday. On the day before his birthday, a huge poster with Putin’s portrait mysteriously appeared on the Manhattan Bridge in new york.
New York Post reported that a giant poster with an image of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared on the Manhattan Bridge in new york, USA, on Thursday (6th), and the police in new york are investigating this.
This poster is about 9 meters long and 6 meters wide. It shows that Putin is wearing a coat with the Russian flag behind him and the words "Peacemaker" written next to it.
Witnesses said that at 1: 45 pm that day, at least two people played this politically motivated poster. 27-year-old Quinn Vermeer’s office building faces the Manhattan Bridge. "At that time, we were just working at our desks and saw it (poster) moving up through the window," he said. "These two guys … … They are all trying to hang posters a little bit, but they finally succeeded. "
Vermeer added, "We realized that this is Putin, this is the Russian flag, and the poster reads ‘ Peacemaker ’ " . "What puzzles us is that it is not clear what the poster wants to express."
"Everyone thought it was interesting, but no one really understood the political message behind it," said Heath Raymond, another witness.
People quickly posted photos of this mysterious poster on social media. A Twitter user attached a text to the photo and said, "This is just hanging on the Manhattan Bridge. (We) live in some strange and terrible times. "
A spokesman for the new york Police Department said that they received a 911 call at 2: 30 pm on Thursday, and the new york police took down the poster at 2: 55 pm.
Russian parliamentarians suggested sending flower baskets.
Sputnik said that valentina tereshkova, a member of the Russian State Duma, suggested giving President Putin a basket of 450 roses as a birthday present when he spoke at a plenary session.
Tereshkova said: "October 7th is the birthday of our President Vladimir vladimirovich Putin. On behalf of all members of the State Duma, let me wish him a happy birthday and greater achievements. Let us send a flower basket to thank him for his tireless work."
She suggested putting 450 roses in the basket, because this is exactly the number of members of the State Duma.
Earlier, Dmitry peskov, Presidential Press Secretary, said in an interview with the media that Putin will celebrate his birthday with friends and family this year.
Putin was given tigers and crocodiles.
Among Putin’s previous gifts, there is a replica of the crown of Monomakh worn by Russian czars, which was made by Russian jewelers for Putin’s 50th birthday. Vladimir Voronin, then President of Moldova, presented Putin with a live crocodile. Putin received an Amur tiger cub on his birthday in 2008. This young tiger named Martha was only two and a half months old at that time. She once lived in the president’s official residence in the suburbs and later moved to the zoo in Glenjik.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev sent a rare book about Tsar Village published in 1910 on Putin’s 60th birthday. Putin’s 61st birthday was spent in Bali, Indonesia, where the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was being held. When Putin walked into the summit in the morning, Indonesian President Susilo sang Happy Birthday to You for Putin on the guitar, and other participants in the summit also sang in chorus.
