7. Crap?
A site called "crap factory" does not radiate credibility. Is the image anywhere else?

2. Who knows. Russia says no. Russia lies.
According to Pete Souza, President Barack Obama's official photographer, a picture he took in Red Square 21 years ago indicates that Mr Putin was part of a KGB plot to embarrass Reagan on his first ever visit to Moscow.

While the Kremlin has normally reveled in the release of pictures of Putin, many of them showing him hunting or fishing in a state of undress, officials in Moscow are said to be furious about the emergence of Mr Souza's photograph.

Political sources said the Kremlin was convinced that the Obama administration had approved the photograph's release in an attempt to smear Mr Putin. The prime minister's official spokesman was unavailable for comment, but Russian experts claimed that the young man dressed in a tight t-shirt with a camera slung around his neck was not Mr Putin.

Mr Souza, however, is categorical about the authenticity of the photograph. He told National Public Radio in the United States that the incident occurred when Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet general secretary, toured Red Square in the Summer of 1988.

3. Doesn't look like Putin to me -
but if it is, what's the significance?

Like we don't have spooks everywhere?

4. That's indeed a curious picture. I've seen in on DU before and thnk I recall people saying that it
is a real photo and that the man with the camera is Putin.
