President Putin said:"I tell you honestly, I just wanted to touch him like a kitten and that desire of mine ended in that act."
CNN said:Putin was shown by state television chatting to graduates of military academies before he took a walk through one of the Kremlin's courtyards, often full of tourists.
He stopped and spoke to Nikita who turned away shyly. "What is your name?" Putin asked, kneeling down in front of the fair-haired boy and holding him by the waist.
"Nikita," the clearly shocked boy answered, looking from side to side.
Putin then lifted the boy's shirt and kissed him on his stomach. The Russian president then patted the boy on the head and walked off through a crowd of astonished tourists.

JimG. said:Be careful when attaching American viewpoints to isolated acts seen in other cultures. Here, we might see this act as that of a pedophile.

Totally political. Locked.JimG. said:Getting very political folks...tone it down.
