Russian President Vladimir Putin only follows 18 people on Twitter.

While no world leader uses Twitter quite like Donald Trump, it's still an arena where power and prestige are distributed. A presidential follow counts for a lot.

Russian President Vladimir Putin follows just 18 accounts from his English-speaking handle - and they're a weird mix of politicians, many of whom are accused of corruption, and one of whom died in 2013. And no Trump.

(The Russian account only follows his English account, the Russian government and his prime minister)

Scroll down for the full list of Putin's Twitter crowd. (This list is correct as of March 2018).
