Beach style in big politics

I offer you a selection of photos that were taken during the vacation of people from big politics.




General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev in family underpants, leaning against a typically Soviet wall of glass blocks, as if personifies the era of stagnation of the name of himself - relatively well-fed and deceptively stable. It is difficult to guess the topic of Leonid Ilyich's telephone conversation - it can be both hunting and nuclear warheads.

Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky in the image of the Roman emperor. Despite the majestic pose, the permanent leader of the Liberal Democratic Party is close to the people: his things are familiar to a Russian person on vacation. The green color of the politician's underpants and a bottle of crystal clear water emphasize his vitality and unity with wildlife.



The Clinton presidential couple - Hillary and Bill - even in bathing suits behave like true ladies and gentlemen. A boat with an oar and a good physical condition of the spouses (when Clinton came to power, both were already well over forty) show that the Clintons are supporters of a healthy lifestyle.



The first president of free Russia, Boris Yeltsin, never hesitated to show himself as he was - with all his physical and personal shortcomings. The openness of the country's main public politician is especially striking against the background of a man in a strict suit in the background of the photo.



Already being the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy took an unprecedented step for the head of this country - he married for the third time. And not on anyone, but on the luxurious fashion model Carla Bruni. In the photo, the couple chose bathing underwear of the same color, which demonstrates to the public their unity, despite the rumors, a 10-year age difference and a 10-centimeter difference in height (Bruni is taller and younger than her husband).



Barack Obama, as always, is in great shape, although he does not flaunt all parts of his body. Unlike the unshy Russian politicians of the 90s, he wears long knee-high swimming trunks.



German Chancellor Angela Merkel with her husband Joachim Sauer. The couple preferred swimwear in strict colors, and their faces in the photo are so serious, as if even on vacation they are discussing the fate of the Eurozone or quantum chemistry (in which Sauer specializes).



The name of the Isle of Man (its flag can be seen in the photo) can be freely translated into modern English as "Peasant Island". And indeed, the potential heir to the throne looks as informal and relaxed as possible here, which is indicated by the choice of lingerie - youth "family people" with a print in the form of chili peppers. I wonder if the Duke of Cambridge also wears something similar under a tailcoat or military uniform?



Charles, Prince of Wales, is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, and therefore has the best chance of inheriting the English throne. In the photo - still relatively young Charles (now he is 64 years old) supports his swimming trunks with his hand, which indicates a not very good choice of underwear for a sea swim.



The 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, splashes with the American people in simple swimming trunks and without a bulletproof vest. Some carelessness in communicating with citizens played a cruel joke on the head of state. The assassination of Kennedy during the passage of the presidential motorcade through the streets of Dallas in 1963 was made possible by the fact that the limousine where the Kennedys were staying did not have a roof.



"We will fight on the beaches" was the name given to one of Churchill's most famous speeches during the Second World War. The great Prime Minister of Great Britain on the seashore dressed in the pre-war fashion - in men's leotards.



If you don't know what Albert II looks like – the reigning Prince of Monaco and Duke of Valentinois – you can mistake the person in the center for an ordinary European top manager during the Christmas holidays. The bright tropical colors of his shorts allowed Albert to harmoniously fit into the madness happening around him.



Operation "Capital Successor". In the photo – the first and second mayors of Moscow, Gavriil Popov (right, 1991–1992) and Yuri Luzhkov (left, 1992–2010). Popov appeared in public in striped "family boys" a la Brezhnev, while Luzhkov's swimming trunks on the verge of a foul are closer in style to Yeltsin's.



Despite the fact that opposition leader Boris Nemtsov is already over 50, he prefers to dress brightly and fashionably. Despite political failures, Nemtsov is not a poor man (his status in the photo is emphasized by a wristwatch).



Photos (from left to right) of billionaire Roman Abramovich, Yeltsin's son-in-law Valentin Yumashev and TV presenter Vladimir Pozner on the island of St. Barthélemy made a lot of noise in the media at one time. The glasses in Abramovich's hand, the color of the temple of which echoes Yumashev's shorts, you expect to see on a hipster in his twenties than on a person on the Forbes list. The stripes on Pozner's memorable swimming trunks refer us to men's leotards of the early XX century.
