![A "Pussy for Putin": In 2010, 17-year old Alisa Kharcheva in a group with other 11 students and would-be students of Moscow State University starred in an erotic calendar for Putin's 58th birthday as Miss April. In 2012, Kharcheva posted these photographs with a cat and Putin portraits in a personal blog post entitled "Pussy for Putin." Then she sent a formal notice to Putin’s office and posted her phone number on her LiveJournal entry just in case. “Until Vladimir Vladimirovich decides to pick up his [birthday] gift, the kitty will live with me,” she wrote. According to Reuters, in 2015, a business associate of Arkady Rotenberg, a close friend of Putin, transferred into her possession an apartment in a smart gated complex in a desirable part of Moscow. She was 23 at the time. (Image: Alisa Kharcheva)](https://euromaidanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kharcheva_0411.jpg)
