"Wide Putin" is a popular internet meme that originated from a photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting in a chair during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev in 2018. In the photo, Putin appears larger than life due to the angle and the way he is sitting, which led to the creation of various memes, often depicting him as wide or exaggeratedly large.
