Russia's Beefy Tyrant Turns 63 -- Happy Birthday Vlad!

Happy birthday Vladimir Putin. The Russian President has packed a lot into his 63 years, from working for the most notorious state-security machine of the 20th century, to the annexation of Crimea, to instituting the most regressive anti-gay laws in the developed world.

He also likes judo.

Here are 63 pictures of the brawny despot, one for each candle on the cake.
