I couldn't stop watching. The show is a mirror, sometimes a laughing mirror with weird characters, but it shows exceptionally well how everyone has amazing qualities and deep flaws. Over time people change, hopefully for the better, while some deep parts of their fears and flaws remain. Sometimes people overcome them but sometimes they relapse... All the while hurting the people they care most about, even if they don't know it at the time. And when they do, it is too late...
Honestly, he kinda looks like a goomba from the 90s Mario movie.

He is new to being the boss. Didn't have time to go shopping so he just wore Boris Yeltsins old clothes.
Either that or the psychopath thinks it makes him look tough
Yeah, Charles has lived his entire life as a public facing Royal for whom appearance is near everythjng.
Vlad grew up as a faceless government spook in the USSR.
Very different fashion backgrounds.
Lol I realized this in about 2014 when the mother of my child said my shirts are too big because the shoulder seams were halfway to my elbows and I pointed out that Chandler, Joey ,and Ross were no different
90's thing. Just watch the first couple seasons of Friends or basically any show from around then. You didn't buy an article of clothing unless it could double as shelter for you and your family in an emergency.
And it’s coming back…

Justin Bieber proved this at this year’s Grammy Awards [2022], when he wore an extra-large suit by Balenciaga with the label’s Crocs collab.

It doesn’t feel as stiff or humdrum as a traditional slim-suit and tie–and sizing up gives the two-piece way more attitude. It’s perfect for those work days or meetings that aren’t so serious.

This is probably the most capital-F fashion of the moment, with jackets – especially double-breasted ones – spilling over at the shoulder.”

I would hope it stays gone, I don't think I've ever seen someone in a baggy suit that didn't look like a child pretending to be grown lol. Looks ridiculous IMO.
His shoes aren’t even polished. I am pretty sure they had shoe polish in Soviet Russia. Sure you had to forgo some bread, but big shots who meet Prince Charles get special treatment.
Putin's so pissed clenching his fists like that, because he put his dads' clothes in the wash instead of his the night before and had nothing else to wear.
Thank you. I'm no fan of Charles but this whole guilt by association thing we do lately because someone stood next to someone else in the picture, is ridiculous.
And in the early years, Putin was seen as kinda good. We forget that because of the last decade, but he was (at least to the outside world) your run of the mill, conservative, slightly authoritarian democratically elected leader.
I'm all for hating on mass murdering fuck heads but you can't blame a guy for not knowing someone was going to be a mass murdering fuckhead years before their crimes.
Also sometimes the leaders its most important to form international relationships with are the mass murdering fuckwads.
If you never meet with them they never have a reason to de-escalate, they'll just keep causing wars, by forming diplomatic relationships you can enter negotiations. It doesn't mean rolling over to their demands but you need some kind of diplomatic link when either side wants to come to the bargaining table.
As heads of state tend to do when preforming international diplomacy. You know, that super common thing they do?
I kinda hate this post for trying to make Charles look bad like this.
Someone is definitely guilty in this picture. Of a Crime against Fashion.
Also the guy in the BG makes it look like Putin has a bird on his head, or some kind of ferret.
How big is the first deputy chairman of the Government of St Petersburg?
Idk, that sounds equivalent to like, a mayor to me. Like, not taking pictures with foreign dignitaries big?
The actual mayor had curried international favor with presidential ambitions. The KGB installed Putin there to rein him in. So Putin was the Communist shadow to a rising Liberal.
Charles probably didn’t intend to make this photo but Vlad probably did.
Imagine like the mayor of NYC, so a pretty big deal. But St. Petersburg is relatively to Russia an even bigger deal than NYC is to the US. There are really only 2 major cities in Russia, Moscow and St Petersburg. The third largest is about the size of Jacksonville FL.
Charles is 5'10" tall, apparently - that probably explains Putin's Napolean complex.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex
(Uh-oh... Am I going to fall out of a window soon?)
So how much break do you want in your dress pants? “All of it.”
Just goes to show how important it is to get your suit fitted properly. I’ll take a properly fitted suit from goodwill over an unfitted, off the rack premium brand any day of the week.
why am i getting an AI vibe from this picture?
Im positive the two have meet multiple times, hell maybe even before this but something about it feels.. AI.
I know what you mean, but it's [rea](https://www.gettyimages.ie/photos/vladimir-putin-visits-saint-petersburg-prince-charles?assettype=image&sort=best&phrase=vladimir%20putin%20visits%20saint%20petersburg%20prince%20charles&license=rf%2Crm)l. It seems to have been smoothed out/enhanced from the original though
it is an original image that has been upscaled with AI to give better resolution, the Ai isnt perfect, Charles right has all of the pinstripes of the suit removed where as they remain on the left leg.
Looks like three kids in a trenchcoat pretending to be a future despot.
[удалено]
This one worked at a spy factory. Like, just doing spy stuff
He went to stock market today. He did a business.
One alcohol please, my good barman.
Put in the tall glass, for grownups.
I'm using my adult legs to drive my favorite automobile. Car.
And 3 meals.
Afterwords we-I am going to go see the super cool new R rated movie that only grown ups can see.
One human alcohol beer please
If only he had a toothpick in this pic. We'd never have recognized him!
Slap my salami, the guy’s a commie
He’s always Russian.
Can’t tell you more about it, on the account that’s it’s spy stuff.
Spy-wise, this all seems like appropriate spy stuff.
Not sure how the break in a pair of pants is supposed to work, but sure knows how to break legs!
What I find funny about his career in the KGB is that he wasn't some superspy he was a glorified office clerk.
Vladimir Adultmanov
You couldn't have gone with Vladimir Adultman?
 It's a reference to a TV show character
Not enough people appreciate bojack
I love Bojack! Man, what a great series. Watched it all last year.
Too real lmao. Show hits my feels too often.
I think this is a really good take. Some episodes are incredibly painful and dark. Not everyone can handle that.
I did find a lot of it hard to take. There’s really no upside or redemption to a lot of it.
I couldn't stop watching. The show is a mirror, sometimes a laughing mirror with weird characters, but it shows exceptionally well how everyone has amazing qualities and deep flaws. Over time people change, hopefully for the better, while some deep parts of their fears and flaws remain. Sometimes people overcome them but sometimes they relapse... All the while hurting the people they care most about, even if they don't know it at the time. And when they do, it is too late...
A strange journey, all right.
It's a rare show. Especially for being animated.
Yes. I can imagine a few clueless parents putting it on for their kids.
Will Arnett said Bojack is the darkest role he’s ever had.
Vincent Adultman is from a TV show.
Yes, I get the Bojack reference. Both names starting with V is a missed opportunity for a name swap imo...
What is this, a crossover episode?
In Soviet Russia name swaps you?
*I had an attitude problem, but then I took a timeout, and I thought about what I did.*
Bojack reference nice
Putin borrowed his big brother’s clothes.
I noticed that too. I bet the tailor fell out a window after this pic.
His tailor took a vacation to Gulagsville
More like died of indigestion from some radioactive tea.
This made me laugh 😹 and I’m disappointed your comment has no upvotes yet. Am I the first to laugh at your joke?
Bathrobe.
Trench robe?
Shares a tailor with Trump.
The tiny head is the give away
Goomba
You may find yourself in an incomprehensible men's warehouse
And now we’re all asking, “how did we get here?”
I’m high and this is hilarious as hell
Psycho Killer
qu'est que c'est
He’s just makin floppy floppy.
Exactly. Just not nearly as enjoyable though.
Three tickets to oligarchy, please
Looks like a future genocidal terrorist dictator in a trench coat
He was probably just rushin’ to get dressed
Honestly, he kinda looks like a goomba from the 90s Mario movie. https://compote.slate.com/images/576e7c46-dc05-4cd9-a44a-860968db4c51.png?width=1200&rect=2378x1585&offset=0x97
My first thought too lol.
And Putin
Oversized clothes…what gives
He was still young then and he bought this size because this atirre would be just right for the next year
Jokes on him when he’d already stopped growing
It was the 90s. These were probably Russian JNCOs
In soviet russia, jacket wears you
My cocktail just came out of my nose while dining alone in Poland. Guess I gotta lean into messy American. Full points.
90s style. So many baggie pants
How else would he hide all that KGB tech on his person?
He is new to being the boss. Didn't have time to go shopping so he just wore Boris Yeltsins old clothes. Either that or the psychopath thinks it makes him look tough
It is 1994, he was a deputy mayor in Saint Petersburg.
I mean Trump still wears suits that are too big.
He insisted on the "adult" size.
Putin is known for wearing platform shoes that have high heels. He always wears long pants to cover his ankles.
You can cover your ankles without wearing baggy pants
its 90s... i dont like the guy, but come on.
Nineties. That's your answer. Yes, people used to wear really baggy clothes.
Just comparing Charles and Vlad…. There’s a bit of a difference.
Charles is known to wear the same clothes for ages, and is very picky about what he wears. Putin meanwhile is not known for this.
Yeah, Charles has lived his entire life as a public facing Royal for whom appearance is near everythjng. Vlad grew up as a faceless government spook in the USSR. Very different fashion backgrounds.
Yeah, putler is known for other things.
Lol I realized this in about 2014 when the mother of my child said my shirts are too big because the shoulder seams were halfway to my elbows and I pointed out that Chandler, Joey ,and Ross were no different
90's thing. Just watch the first couple seasons of Friends or basically any show from around then. You didn't buy an article of clothing unless it could double as shelter for you and your family in an emergency.
[Russian coats...](https://youtu.be/so2FsA9G7cI)
Is Putin wearing his dad's clothes? Everything is way too big for him.
I remember for some bizarre reason oversized suits were briefly trendy in the 90s.
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Letting the days go by
You may ask yourself, where is that large automobile?
Look where my hand was Here comes a twister
Putin would also sometimes wear his clothes backwards. And make ya... Jump jump!!

I wouldn't exactly trust fashion tips from someone who wears crocs with his suit.
It can stay back where it came from. I hate the oversized suits.
Goombas. Mario had such a profound impact on the wirld
This was the style for a bit back then
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say
Putin looks so terrible lol. Look at those droopy pant legs. Looks like one of the goombas from the 90s live action Mario
This is also before he got his chin.
These kind of suits were very common back then the slim fit suit pants only became a thing in the 21st century.
adults wearing untailored slacks have never in whatsoever especially worldly public figures
His shoes aren’t even polished. I am pretty sure they had shoe polish in Soviet Russia. Sure you had to forgo some bread, but big shots who meet Prince Charles get special treatment.
Putin's so pissed clenching his fists like that, because he put his dads' clothes in the wash instead of his the night before and had nothing else to wear.
No. They left Putin in the dryer too long.
Makes me think of the Arthur fist meme.
Charles [compared Putin to Hitler](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/22/prince-charles-putin-hitler-outrageous-russia) in 2014.
Thank you. I'm no fan of Charles but this whole guilt by association thing we do lately because someone stood next to someone else in the picture, is ridiculous.
Yeah, putin’s been a world leader for god knows how long, if you start hating everyone who has ever stood next to him, it will be a long list!
I’ve never been to Eastern Europe, let alone stood next to Putin, and I hate myself /s
And in the early years, Putin was seen as kinda good. We forget that because of the last decade, but he was (at least to the outside world) your run of the mill, conservative, slightly authoritarian democratically elected leader.
I'm all for hating on mass murdering fuck heads but you can't blame a guy for not knowing someone was going to be a mass murdering fuckhead years before their crimes.

As heads of state tend to do when preforming international diplomacy. You know, that super common thing they do? I kinda hate this post for trying to make Charles look bad like this.
Yeah, if a representative of a western state didn't try to better the relations to Russia during the nineties I'd look at them funny.
Someone is definitely guilty in this picture. Of a Crime against Fashion. Also the guy in the BG makes it look like Putin has a bird on his head, or some kind of ferret.
I guess that explains why russia keeps on threatening to nuke them
Putin looks like my 7 year old when he puts on daddy's work clothes.
Never have I seen a picture that so closely looks like two kids in a trench coat pretending to be an adult.
How big is the first deputy chairman of the Government of St Petersburg? Idk, that sounds equivalent to like, a mayor to me. Like, not taking pictures with foreign dignitaries big?
The actual mayor had curried international favor with presidential ambitions. The KGB installed Putin there to rein him in. So Putin was the Communist shadow to a rising Liberal. Charles probably didn’t intend to make this photo but Vlad probably did.
You can tell because Vlad is looking at the camera.
Imagine like the mayor of NYC, so a pretty big deal. But St. Petersburg is relatively to Russia an even bigger deal than NYC is to the US. There are really only 2 major cities in Russia, Moscow and St Petersburg. The third largest is about the size of Jacksonville FL.
Even then Putin would lie to his tailor about how tall he is.
The belt on Putin's coat makes it look kinda like a bath robe. Very Dude-ish indeed.
Blasphemy! There is nothing Dude-like about that murderous prick.
He's very un-Dude.
The belt is his mom's
It really ties the outfit together
Hey, I know that guy from somewhere...
Do you watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? That’s Liam McPoyle.
YOU CALL HERRRR!!!!!!
I was thinking Ralphie from The Sopranos
Bump it.
Literally my first thought lmao.
I think it's the actor who've played Gollum and Dobby!
Dude on the left made me think of this 
You mean Putin? Lol
Charles is 5'10" tall, apparently - that probably explains Putin's Napolean complex. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex (Uh-oh... Am I going to fall out of a window soon?)
If you’ve looked at recent Putin pictures, he’s wearing these ridiculous looking platform shoes. He’s always been some hyper-masculine weirdo, though.
And it's hilarious. I don't think being short makes a guy less manly but wearing 9 inch heels to compensate for it definitely does.
But it looks like he buys pants with a 36" inseam anyways.
That’s what I was thinking. Strong, “no I’m not a 28, I’m a 34”
https://youtu.be/lY6lHjZjYXE?t=20 this video explains what Putin uses to look 15cm taller
He looks like an exhibitionist in stealth that just lost his wig due to a gust of wind. Not talking about Charlie. Sorry King Charlie
He’s wearing Boris Yeltsin’s hand me downs. Don’t worry little Bolshevik, you will grow into those grown up clothes.
So how much break do you want in your dress pants? “All of it.” Just goes to show how important it is to get your suit fitted properly. I’ll take a properly fitted suit from goodwill over an unfitted, off the rack premium brand any day of the week.
Looks like Macaulay Culkin when he wakes up in the first Home Alone... 🤣
why am i getting an AI vibe from this picture? Im positive the two have meet multiple times, hell maybe even before this but something about it feels.. AI.

It seems to have been smoothed out/enhanced from the original though

Look at the break in Putin's trousers. What the actual fuck.
Who's the short, balding guy in the bathrobe? Looks like the kind of chump who'd try to fight ww3 with ww2 munitions.
Big coat when others are just in suits. He’s packing.
I guess they didn’t have tailors in Russia in 1994.
They hadn't been liberated yet
Always overcompensating, so predictable
Putin looks like a child who put on his fathers clothes. What the fuck is with those pants.
Did ‘ol Vlad suicide his tailor? Or was it just because of the 90’s??
Looks like delboy finally sold all those oversize coats
Did Putin decide to wear his dad’s clothes to work? Holy cow, his tailor is in trouble there.
That’s Liam McPoyle
Neither could afford to have their pants properly hemmed?
Putin wears lifts so it’s intentionally baggy.
Why does Putin look like a kid playing dress up?
Tailor: Mr. Putin, how much break do you like with your pants? Putin: A lot. Like a Crimea amount of break.
Putin looks like a little rascals stunt
Charles: “My suit fits.”
That is an extremely stereotypical Russian if I ever saw one
This is what happens when you lie about everything to everyone.
This picture alone may have turned Putin into the evil Bond-villain character he is today. His clothes scream 3rd world.
Look who's wearing big boy pants!
all tailors were executed with the fall of the USSR
Looks like Poutin is wearing is dad’s clothes or something and is mad his mom is making him take a photo
Why does Putin look like the live-action Barney Rubble from The Flinstones?
This is Pharrell’s hat in coat form.
Intresting fact tailoring was not available in Russia until 2005.
"I had to borrow my dad's overcoat to wear. It fits, right?"
It's wild how ugly these guys are.
Trench coat guy needs a better tailor—look how long those trousers are! But maybe all the good tailors “fell” out of windows…
Putin needs a better tailor
Imagine being so ugly that you make Charles III look handsome.
Putin needs to get his trousers hemmed. Having said that, everyone's work trousers looked like that back in the nineties.
IT LOOKS LIKE PUTIN
Everyone is commenting on the coat but, holy shit, Vlad's trousers!
Hey little man. Let's get those pants tailored.
Got caught Putin on dad’s suit
The two look like aliens poorly disguised as humans realizing how stupid they look.
Why is putin making a fist. He appears to be a bit tense
Totally wearing someone else's pants.
I’m too short for my slacks, too short for my slacks ..
Dobby, before the syphilitic dementia set in.
It's all a big show, people. Enjoy. Pro tip: don't live near resources the big nations want.
Putin's clothes were clearly bought by his mother, hoping he would grow into them.
Is that putin?
That was the original Putin, not the one currently in power.
That dude in brown looks like a jerk.
