Good to see you again, we will hopefully manage to meet a few more times before you return to Moscow.

Putin, a bit surprised, managed to held his face straight and answered he knows little about Chtulhu, but suggests to worship normal gods. :) I’m not sure about the first question, but the second one was actually asked!

I'm assuming those questions never made it to the final draft? Would have been good to see him field the question with a straight face, remaining true to the style of the book. Not sure foreign press would have known how to take it though, they might have thought Putin was switching from virtual tea-total to another Yeltsin! lmao at the second question.
