The man photographed conducting the meeting in the Kremlin looks like anything but a typical Russian general.
In a photo uploaded to social media by Russian businessman Egor Kornev and shared on Twitter on October 30, he looks as though he is lightly trapped inside a tight green tube, his arms stretched with a deep shake.
