Have you ever noticed how short Putin is?

I only recently noticed this? does he have a napoleon complex?

he is listed at 5'7" but most people seem to think that's a "charles barkley" kind of number and he's actually closer to 5'5" in real life...

Update:

    He's not the shortest Russian leader ever. Stalin was 5' 3".

    Only in the U.S. do people focus so much attention on the individual personality. In other countries it is not like that. The focus is on the policy or the party or the specific issue not individual people. But the U.S. has an obsession with celebrity, very shallow perspective.

    Stalin and Krushchev and Breshniev and Lenin were all short.

    He may also be short in other places and that may be more of the rationale why he tries to overcompensate..
