Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has been voted as the country’s hottest male alive.
A survey result declared Putin as Russia‘s most good-looking male in the country.
The survey was done by interviewing 1,000 men and 1,000 women in more than 300 cities across the country between March 3-22.
The 68-year-old country leader was the only person to reach double figures in the survey by job board site SuperJob.
Survey participants were asked who is the most attractive man in Russia, and 18% of men and 17% of women voted for Putin.
In the previous year, Vladimir Putin is also voted as the country’s sexiest man.
“Russians still call Vladimir Putin the most attractive of the famous men in the country,” the site reads. “In this field, neither actors, nor athletes, nor other politicians can compete with him today.”
In 2006, the Kremlin leader was famously photographed topless while horseback riding and fishing.
Putin made it clear in 2018 that he was not ashamed about the topless photos of him that circulated online, adding that there’s ‘no need to hide behind the bushes’ while on vacation.
The pictures were greatly seen as an attempt to cultivate a powerful image of a man of action, and based on the latest poll, that seems to have worked.
Putin maintained a comfortable lead on his closest competitors actors Dmitry Nagiyev, Danila Kozlovsky, and Konstantin Khabensky, with only 2-3% of participants finding them the most attractive.
The poll results were published days after legislators passed a law allowing Putin to be Russia’s president until 2036.
