Kremlin 'gives out Putin's book predicting future as Christmas presents'

Putin's words have even been said to predict the future and luckily the book is getting translated into English and will hit bookshops in 2016.

Words Changing the World: Key Quotes is nearly 400 pages long and spans many of Vlad's addresses since 2003.

A thousand politicians are said to have received the book as a Christmas gift a couple of days after they were urged to read it by the deputy head of the presidential administration.

Although some might be impressed by a spot of light reading, Putin has been compared to Chairman Mao Tse-tung, who released a little red book of quotes.

But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov sad the presidential administration was not actually behind the move to send the book out.

"I haven't seen this book and I don't know who is sending it around," Peskov told the state run TASS news agency.

The book was published by pro-Kremlin youth organisation "The Network", which has received government funding in the past for similar projects.

Anton Vodin, a member of The Network, thinks the Russian president's words could even be prophetic.

"We started to notice that everything Putin said, to some extent, came true. In this book we have traced his words (throughout his career) and confirmed this idea. Putin's words can be called prophetic," Anton told RBC.
