Vladimir Putin might want to have a chat with one of his Russian politicians about personal hygiene practices.
Take a look at this disgusting video… showing Russia’s regional governor Zabaykalsky Krai Aleksandr Osipov work with other local officials to map a rural area ravaged by wildfires.
As he scans the damaged land, Osipov casually sticks his finger up his nose, digs around and pulls out a booger.
But that’s just the beginning of the gross-out. Osipov then casually wipes his snot on the coat of his forestry chief, Elena Shalyapinaholding a clipboard while informing the others.
What’s even worse, Shalyapina has no idea that she’s just been turned into a dirty Kleenex tissue by her own boss. Ugh!
After the video emerged on Russian social media last week, Osipov denied picking his nose and explained that he was merely removing an insect from his schnoz.
He added that he did not want Shalyapina to be “bothered” by all the press surrounding the incident.
I have to admit… Osipov doesn’t offer a very convincing defense, given the video evidence. Like we said, Putin might want to have a conversation with this nose-picking governor.
