    Context note: that picture was taken at an RT (Russian state-backed propaganda outlet) dinner in a room full of powerful Russian oligarchs. Gorbachev was there but at a different table, and yet Jill Stein was one of the guests of honor at Putin’s table. Also worth keeping in mind that this dinner took place in 2015–more than a year after Putin had first invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.
