On Friday, Vladimir Putin turned 70 and received a tractor for his birthday from the president of Belarus. Tractors have been the pride of Belarusian industry since Soviet times.
Putin has been a strong supporter of Belarusian president Alyaksandr Lukashenka, and the two have developed a close relationship. Lukashenka has frequently given Putin gifts, including a horse and a puppy.
The tractor is just the latest in a long line of gifts from Lukashenka to Putin. It's not clear what Putin will do with the tractor, but it's sure to be put to good use on one of his many farms.
