RT: ‘Not made of sugar’: Putin shrugs off badass downpour pic
It was a memorable day for Russian social media when Vladimir Putin went out to lay a wreath at a WWII memorial near the Kremlin. In a massive downpour and without an umbrella, photos of the drenched Russian leader flooded the internet. And people only had one question…

WNU Editor: Non-Russians do not know this .... but a few weeks ago Putin took Russian social media by storm when he stood in the rain while laying a wreath at the WWII memorial near the Kremlin. He has said nothing about that day until his Q&A with Sochi students a few days ... and while the question felt like a plant .... Putin's answer surprised no one.

The footage is absurd.

The soldiers didn't have umbrellas. Why should those who honor them?
Generally in most regulations handbooks, all over the world, it is clearly stated that the dignitary laying the wreath does not carry an umbrella,as it inhibits his/her stance at Attention.
And neither does the Detachment presenting arms
Usually it is provided by an "Leftennant" behind him /her
Downpour has been the reason for many postponements in these kinds of rituals
