A picture depicting Vladimir Putin in full makeup has been banned in Russia.

The picture is cited on the Russian justice ministrys list of banned extremist materials – a list that is 4,074 entries long. No 4,071 states that the poster, depicting Putin with painted eyes and lips, implies the supposed nonstandard sexual orientation of the president of the Russian Federation.

Its unclear exactly which image the ministry is talking about – but it is believed to be similar to one used on signs during protests against Russias anti-gay laws. It turns out there are quite a lot of photoshopped images in circulation that depict Putin in drag.
