This year began with a vigorous (by Russian standards) Internet petition urging Putin to take the first option. Then the whole country laughed when, during his customary visit to a patriotic summer camp run by Nashi (a pro-Putin youth movement), he demonstrated his physical prowess by scaling a rock-climbing wall, only to find that he couldn’t climb down.
今年年初，爆发了声势浩大（按照俄罗斯人的标准）的互联网请愿运动，敦促普京选择第一个选项。到由“纳什”（支持普京的青年运动组织）组织的爱国夏令营进行常规拜访期间，他想通过爬攀岩墙展示自己强健的体魄，结果发现自己爬不下了，全国上下笑声一片。
