Peter Brookes cartoon

The Times cartoonist, Peter Brookes, captures the dilemma facing President Putin who likes to behave as if he's a modern-day Russian Tsar, as if this former KGB officer and 'loyal' member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has been reincarnated as Peter the Great. 

But the fact of the matter is that the Russian economy is something of a 'basket case' relying as it does on the country's natural resources of oil and gas.
