[@CakePrincessCelestia]

0:29 Every four legged animal does this and it's basically the exact same step order still, even when humans just walk on two legs. When running, this transforms into the same step order as a trot. In other words, humans naturally walk as if they'd walk on both legs and arms, just with the body upright and the arms not touching the ground. So it's a legacy of instinct that has survived ages of evolution. 3:22 Well, _his_ KGB days haven't ended yet, I presume...

[@michaeldiem2244]

He walks that way because of kgb training ,keeping your gun hand at the ready ,old habits die hard

[@tomcat8662]

And terrible training technique recommendation. Knowing this gait, it would be easy for any intelligence agency to identify a kgb agent since they would stick out like a sore thumb.

[@willyeeton4390]

It makes a ton of sense for him to be armed. He's a prominent world leader, one whom many have mixed feelings about. I imagine it's more being ready than an old habit. At any point somebody could draw on him, he needs to be ready to fire back.

[@CancerLord]

@@tomcat8662 this makes sense, but in his KGB training he never mentioned why and what reasons. It's just his style because he was ready to give everything for his country. And no. Putin knows few languages and this makes it bit easy to not be suspicious, but yet, he's doing this because to swing fast. Every miliseconds matter for your country.

[@EstellammaSS]

I know lots of people who walk like this or similar ways. They carried pistols as side arms be it in war or civil times it's all the same. And years later without even carrying weapons anymore the movement imbeded into the mind. I personally also had to learn to walk slowly and still to this day struggle with it, soon as I move, I make fast movements, ever since when I was a kid and young adult I was always in a hurry to school or jobs due to penalties etc, later when I retired, I just couldn't slow down. Often people tell me I look like I am charging an attack at someone and fear me even tho I just moved from A to B with a causal intend. Also for people who don't know, it isn't healthy to walk fast all the time, body needs moderate movements the extremes and strains being a short burst only.

No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling. And checking everything is in place, You never know who's looking on.

This is pretty common for people with martial arts training, military training, and experience carrying a sidearm, no matter the country. One example is being able to unholster, aim, and fire five shots in five seconds at the target in a three-inch cluster.

Yeah a lot of people who carry tend to adopt a lotta subconscious behaviors like this. It's actually a big part of some police and secret service training to recognize those behaviors to pick out who may possibly be a concealed weapon threat. Can be pretty good to actively train yourself to avoid doing them if you CC often, so you're not quite so obvious to people with the awareness to look out for it. Even some non-trained people can just subconsciously pick up that you're walking threatingly and just feel more uncomfortable around you.

He sweeps the room with his eyes as if he were the bodyguard, not the guy being guarded."

Agreed. It just makes sense. I have noticed that I have a tendancy to not swing my left arm. I attribute that to my own equestrian training.

One of my older bosses was a major and did 2 tour's of Vietnam. He had a very upright sort of straight leg walk. A commanding walk is best way to describe it. It was ingrained in his subconscious and he never lost it after all these years. Putin is the same from, his KGB days, packing or not.

With no knowledge of the reasons Putin might do this, my first guess was "probably so he can easily reach a weapon ASAP". Also, a team of doctors spent time writing a paper about how Putin walks? Is that seriously the most important thing they could think of to do?

[@yurikz9]

no but that's what they wanted to do

[@Zheeraffa1]

The paper is about the movement pattern in general. The method used is video analysis. The reason why it spins around Putin and other Russian officials is probably that they exhibit this behaviour repeatedly and constantly, and videos of them are widely available, so they are a good study material. Even if that was not the case, the health of the leader of the second most militarily powerful country in the world should be everybody's concern. Even more so, when all four doctors come from NATO member countries.

[@General12th]

The paper was about slightly more than just Putin's walking behavior.

[@bungtunger5345]

It was most likely just them trying to do the whole "this man who I disagree with politically has a mental illness and thats why I am right!" and then they grasp at straws to try and find semi-plausible evidence. They did the same with Trump on multiple occasions and those claims were just as silly and unlikely as this one.

But I have it on my left arm instead, and it's from having a SAW, a highly portable 17 pound machine-gun also known as the "Squad Automatic Weapon," strapped across my back during four separate overseas deployments. If you sling one of these things across your back to carry it around all day, you have to use your left hand to hold onto the foregrip in order to keep it from bouncing off the back of your thigh every time you take a step. Even old Marines like me can bruise eventually :(
