Vladimir Putin on Robots and Cthulhu

Features: Current EventsCritical Path Innovation: Robotics

Vladimir Putin recently participated in an webcast press conference. During the conference he answered the most popular questions sent in by Russian internet users. The fourth most popular question? Will Cthulhu awake from the depths of the Pacific? According to Putin's response, Russia does not appear to be preparing for the impending awakening of Cthulhu. He merely replied, "Read the Bible, Koran, or other religious Books" Your mistake Vladimir.

Another popular question during the conference (which Russian internet users did not appear to take seriously) was the possibility of deploying 'gigantic, humanoid robots to defend itself'. Putin responded that Russia is already using robots to defend and monitor their southern border.
