Putin's Skyrim adventures are humane

Putin has powers normally reserved for Skyrim adventurers.

Referring to a much-publicized recent mountain walk through Tyva, Siberia, last month, Peskov said that even the normally jittery mountain goats in the region seemed to be put at ease by the president. "Mountain goats ... would normally run away, but when they saw [the president], they stayed close by and continued grazing."

Surely such trips in the wildness are dangerous for the president, queried the host Solvoyov. Not at all, replied his press secretary before suggesting even potentially hostile animals don't faze Putin. "Is a bear an idiot ? If he sees Putin, he will behave decently," Peskov said to laughter all around.

Another scene featured the president meeting children in Sochi.

"Putin just loves children," said Solovyov. "He has a very sincere and humane relation with children.

"You can't make that up."
