The Russian president, who is one of the world’s most powerful men, demonstrated his gentler side by belting out a rendition of Blueberry Hill at a benefit for a children’s charity in St Petersburg on Saturday. According to Steve Rosenberg, he is not the first politician to take the stage in his career.
According to one tweet, it was a ″utterly strange convergence of worlds″ when Vladimir Putin played Blueberry Hill at a fundraiser with his thick Russian accent and Gerard Depardieu, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, and Sharon Stone were ″absolutely loving every minute of it.″
