Arts Events: Putin and Seagal

arts events: Seagal also has vocally defended the Russian leader policies and criticized the U.S. government, according to Brandon Sun. After awarding Seagal citizenship through a presidential decree earlier this month, Putin hosted the actor at the Kremlin on Friday and handed him the passport. The 64-year old actor has been a regular visitor to Russia in recent years and has accompanied Putin to several martial arts events. Putin told Seagal he hopes the ceremony, which was shown on Russian state television, is also a sign of a gradual normalization of the relations between the countries. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
