Putin Ditches Car, Security, Takes Long Lone Walk Following Funeral Of Judo Coach

Russian President Vladimir Putin is known for his rugged spirit and unflinching exterior.

But he was so overcome following the funeral of his personal judo coach Anatoly Rachlin that he forcefully pushed past his car and security and went for a lone walk, reports Russia Today.

The tension is palpable as he tells his security to give him space. This is what it looks like when a former KGB colonel grieves for a lost friend.
