(AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has awarded Russian citizenship
to action film actor Steven Seagal. The 64-year-old Seagal has been a
regular visitor to Russia in recent years and has accompanied Putin to
several martial arts events, as well as vocally defending the Russian
leader's policies. Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters
Thursday that Seagal "has been insistent for a long time in asking to be
granted Russian citizenship," adding that "he is known for his warm
feelings to our country, he never made a secret of it, and he's also a
well-known actor, which gave grounds to make him a Russian citizen."
