Despite been nearly 60-year old, the President Vladimir Putin has emerged as a heart throb for 20 per cent of Russian women, who would jump at the chance of marrying him, according to a new poll.

Putin, who was once voted the sexiest politician in 2008 opinion poll will turn 60 on this Sunday.

The hypothetical proposal which was offered by Moscow based Levada Centre has revealed that 66 per cent women would want to decline this offer while fourteen per cent women said they want more time to think about it.

The independent research organisation of the country Levada has questioned 1,601 women across Russia between September 21 and 24 in which the margin of error was 3.4 per cent.
