A peculiar resemblance has been noted. Russian President Putin looks a lot like Caesar Augustus who ruled the Roman Empire for over 40 years around the time of Jesus' birth. A coincidence?

"As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, Jesus came near and started walking along beside them." (Luke 24:14,15) “The cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travelers.” - G.K. Chesterton, "Orthodoxy"

It's funny that nobody is picking up on the Putin/Augustus similarities. Putin is working the same magic that Augustus did, huh?
Man Augustus and Putin do have a lot in common when you think about it.
Of the top of my head, I can think about how they somehow blend "Democracy" with autocracy.
They both on way or the other "proscribed" a lot of members of the oligarchy.
They were handpicked by their predecessors and highly underestimated when they came in.
I'm sure if I research I could find a lot more...
But I feel Putin does have a Marc Antony... oh well please feel free to comment.
I was translating an article about Caesar Augustus when I noticed thet Vladimir Vladimirovitsh Putin and Caesar Augustus bear a striking resemblance.
I had to check the web to see whether anybone else thinks the same.
Nice to know that I am not the only one.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's еqually еducаtіνe and
еngaging, аnd let me tеll yοu, you have hit the nаil on the head.
The pгoblem is somеthіng which nοt еnοugh folks are spеaκing intelligеntly abοut.
I'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.
