Did Putin cry in Mongolia? (Владимир Путин)

During his state visit to Mongolia at the invitation of his counterpart President Elbegdorj Tsakhia, Russian President Vladimir Putin (Владимир Путин), despite his familiar tough-guy image, appeared to shed tears in public at Chinggis Khaan Square while the Mongolian military orchestra played the Russian national anthem as a warm welcome.. Mongolian Twitter users are puzzled about his emotional moment and debating whether President Putin cried or not… Perhaps he did. Following the crisis in Ukraine and mounting pressure from the West, he likely was deeply moved to see Russia's long-time allies in Mongolia – the infamous Mongols who stood beside Russians during World War II, the Mongols who once conquered Moscow, the Mongols who built the greatest land empire that influenced the unification of Russia... Or perhaps he simply had a runny nose.
