Mid.East NEWS - MOSCOW (AP) Acara media terbaru Vladimir Putin adalah sederhana mengikut piawaian pemimpin Rusia aksi-gembira - perjalanan setengah jam ke bahagian bawah Teluk Finland untuk melihat bangkai kapal.

Dia tidak menjumpai apa-apa harta. Putin pada hari Isnin menunggang kapal kecil menyelam 60 meter (200 kaki) ke bawah untuk melihat bangkai tentera laut frigat Oleg, yang tenggelam pada tahun 1869, kata laporan berita Rusia. Mayat, yang diperiksa oleh ahli-ahli arkeologi marin, terletak di perairan pulau Gogland 180 kilometer (110 batu) barat St Petersburg.

Kegemaran Putin untuk aksi mencabar termasuk perjalanan ke bawah Lake Baikal, tasik paling dalam di DUNIA, dan menyelam di mana dia dibesarkan shards tembikar yang jurucakap beliau kemudiannya mengaku telah ditanam.

Mid.East NEWS - MOSCOW (AP) Vladimir Putin's latest media event was modest by the stunt-happy Russian leader's standards - a half-hour trip to the bottom of the Gulf of Finland to see a shipwreck.

He didn't even find any treasure. Putin on Monday rode a small submersible craft 60 meters (200 feet) down to see the remains of the naval frigate Oleg, which sank in 1869, Russian news reports said. The remains, being examined by marine archaeologists, lie off the island of Gogland 180 kilometers (110 miles) west of St. Petersburg.

Putin's penchant for adventurous stunts included a trip to the bottom of Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, and a scuba dive in which he brought up pottery shards that his spokesman later admitted had been planted.
