A Russian politician who put noodles over his ears while watching a speech by Vladimir Putin is facing punishment from political leaders.

Mikahail Abdalkin, an MP from Samara in southern Russia shared a video of himself watching Putin’s state of the nation address with noodles hanging over his ears, a well-known Russian idiom for someone telling lies.

Russia’s Communist Party has pledged to punish Mr Abdalkin for his protest.

In the video, Mr Abdalkin stares at a screen from his desk as Putin delivered his annual address on Tuesday.

“I fully support. I agree with everything. Great speech,” Mr Abdalkin wrote in the caption for the video post.
