RUSSIA-POLITICS-PUTIN-BREZHNEV
A man looks at a caricature depicting Russian Premier Vladimir Putin as Leonid Brezhnev on his computer screen in Moscow on October 5, 2011. The late Soviet leader, was a "huge plus" for Russia, an aide to Vladimir Putin said after his decision to seek a new Kremlin term. "You know, this is not a 'minus' for our country's history -- it is a huge plus," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the independent Internet TV station Dozhd (Rain). Peskov was responding to multiplying jokes comparing Putin to the Soviet leader, who most observers argue presided over a long period of stagnation. A former KGB spy, Putin headed the state in 2000-2008 and retained much power while serving as prime minister under his hand-picked successor Dmitry Medvedev. AFP PHOTO/ ALEXANDER NEMENOV
