In abrupt, lightning-fast action, and without any rumors beforehand, Vladimir Putin, the former head of Russia, was arrested, stuffed into a van, and driven to a dacha in Siberia. He will live under house arrest until his trial sometime in the future.

Recognized by other passengers, they asked for his autograph, then inquired where he was going and why didn’t he have a car and driver.
Sweating profusely, he replied that he was checking out the public transportation system in Moscow for Putin. Someone asked why he was carrying a suitcase. He mumbled a Russian proverb which was a slur.
