So last month, the Kremlin released this curious video of Vladimir Putin dressed casually in jeans and a jacket,
walking with a bouquet of flowers in a hotel to meet his high school teacher.
Pjotr Sauer is The Guardian's Russian affairs reporter.
Decoding Kremlin propaganda is very much part of the job description.
On his way to meeting his teacher, he also made chitchat with a random passerby.
He later turned out to be someone who worked for the Russian security services.
The video showed the Russian president driving himself to meet Vera Gurevich.
She taught the young Putin at school number 193 in Leningrad, now in Petersburg.
She seemed delighted to see him, planting kisses on his waxy cheeks.
