Journalist Gives Vladimir Putin A Gift Of A Ridiculous Stuffed Animal In The Middle Of A Press Conference

Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding his a big annual press conference today, and one of more than the 1,000 journalists in attendance just gave Putin an odd-looking gift.

Shaun Walker, Moscow correspondent for The Guardian tweeted: "Putin interrupts Q: "I want question from girl with a bear, that looks more interesting." Girl: "Not a bear, it's a yeti. A present for you."

Putin also said that "there is no successor" when asked about who would be the No. 2 politician in Russia.
