Beach fashion in politics (16 photos)




In this collection I suggest you look at how dressed on holiday Churchill, Prince Charles, Yeltsin Abramovich and other powers that be.




Vladimir Zhirinovsky in the image of the Roman emperor. Despite the majestic posture, unchallenged leader of the Liberal Democratic Party is close to the people of his things familiar to the Russian people on vacation. Green pants and a bottle of policy crystal clear water stress its vitality and unity with nature.


The presidential couple Clintons - Hillary and Bill - even in bathing suits behave like a true lady and a gentleman. A boat with a paddle and a good physical form of the spouses (when Clinton came to power, both were already well over forty) shows that the Clintons - the supporters of a healthy lifestyle.


The first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin free has never been shy to show itself for what it is - with all its physical and personal shortcomings. The openness of the main public policy of the country is particularly striking against the background of a man in a suit on the background photo.


As early as the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy took the unprecedented for the head of the country's move - the third time he married. And not on someone, and luxurious Model Carla Bruni. In the photo - swimsuit wife chose one color, which shows the audience their unity, despite the rumors, the 10-year difference in age and 10-centimeter - in growing (Bruni above and younger than her husband).


Barack Obama, as always, in great shape, but do not flaunt all parts of the body. Unlike anything do not hesitate to Russian politicians 90s on it - long trunks knee.


German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer. The couple chose to strict bathing suit colors, and their faces in the photo as serious as if even on vacation, they discuss the fate of the euro zone or quantum chemistry (it specializes Sauer).


The name of the Isle of Man (his flag can be seen in the photo) can be loosely translated into modern English as "island guy". Indeed, a potential heir to the throne looks here as an informal and relaxed, which is indicated by a choice of linen - youth "boxers" with a print in the form of chili peppers. Interestingly, under a suit or military uniform of the Duke of Cambridge also puts on something like that?


Charles, Prince of Wales, is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, and therefore has the best chance to inherit the British royal throne. In the photo - still relatively young Charles (now it 64 years) supports the melting hand, which means not very good choice of clothes for sea swim.


General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Brezhnev in the family shorts, leaning against the wall of a typical Soviet glass blocks, as if epitomizes the era of stagnation, the name itself - a relatively well-fed and deceptively stable. Topic call Leonid Ilyich difficult to guess - it can be like hunting and nuclear warheads.


35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy laps with the American people in plain trunks and without body armor. Some carelessness in dealing with the public has played a cruel joke the head of state. Kennedy's assassination during the journey of the presidential motorcade through the streets of Dallas in 1963, was made possible thanks to the fact that the limousine, where there was a match for Kennedy, had no roof.


"We shall fight on the beaches" - the name given to one of the most famous speeches of Churchill during the Second World War. Great Britain's Prime Minister on the beach dressed in the pre-war fashion - men in tights bathing.


If you do not know what it looks like Albert II - the reigning prince of Monaco and the Duke of Valentinois - you can take the man at the center of an ordinary European top manager at the Christmas break. Bright tropical colors of his shorts allowed Albert fit harmoniously into what is happening around the madness.


Operation "Capital's successor." In the photo - the first and the second mayor of Moscow, Gavriil Popov (right, 1991-1992), Yuri Luzhkov (left, 1992-2010). Popov appeared in public in striped "boxers" a la Brezhnev, while Luzhkov melting on the verge of foul closer in style to Yeltsin.


Despite the fact that the oppositionist Boris Nemtsov're over 50, he prefers to dress bright and fashionable. Despite political setbacks, Nemtsov - a man well-off (his status in the photo emphasize wristwatch)


Photos (left to right) billionaire Roman Abramovich, Yeltsin's son-in-Valentine Yumasheva and TV host Vladimir Pozner on the island of Saint-Barthélemy in his time made a lot of noise in the media. Glasses in hand Abramovich, color bow echoes with shorts Yumasheva, you expect to see on a hipster twenty years than defendants in the list of Forbes. Strips on the memorable swimming trunks Posner refer us to the male bathing tights beginning of XX century.
