Revealing t-shirts unveiled in Russia to boost support for Putin

Russian women are being urged to emblazon Vladimir Putin on their chests in a new range of revealing patriotic shirts to boost support for the president.

With an election due next year, the designs are aimed at boosting support for the Kremlin strongman.

The initiative is from a patriotic youth group called Project Set. Some designs expose the cleavage in a love heart which Putin holds in his hands.

Others use a profile of the president to show admiration for Putin. Another design uses a Russian map to ram home the patriotic message.
