Russian president Vladimir Putin has decided to work from home more often, not because he’s suffering from a serious illness but to help solve Moscow’s ‘paralytic, bumper-to-bumper, round-the-clock, city-wide traffic congestion’.

Putin has also reportedly revived a 2010 re-design of the iconic Zil limousine, notable not just for its futuristic lines but also for its lack of a rear window.
