Russia's Putin, Venerated by Female, Veggies-Only Sect

You cannot make this stuff up. A group of women that comprises a religious sect in a Russian village has decided that Vladimir Putin, the former KGB bad boy and Prime Minister, is imbued with the Holy Spirit. As such, they are venerating him, while keeping to a strict diet of "turnips, carrots, peas and buckwheat," according to a report from The Telegraph.
