Russian chocolatier makes lifesize Putin sweet

Before starting the work, sculptors gathered information from open sources about the weight and height of President Putin.
With the sculpture near completion on Thursday, the St. Petersburg-based sculptors had already used more than 70 kilograms of chocolate.
They expect their creation to be a become a Guinness record.
After originally being commissioned by the festival to make a bust of the President, sculptors went one step further and made him life-size.
