The claim: Copies of a Vladimir Putin calendar have been "selling like hot cakes" in the UK.

Reality Check verdict: We've been unable to find any shop in the UK stocking the calendar, while sales online have been limited.

Some media outlets in Russia are claiming that a 2018 calendar showing President Vladimir Putin in various poses "sold out in a few hours" when it was put on sale in the United Kingdom.

The website of Russian newspaper Izvestia claims the Vladimir Putin calendars are "suddenly fashionable" in the UK.

"There are no calendars anymore. They were all bought out in just a few hours," it says.

The pro-Kremlin website Riafan.ru says the calendar has "caused great excitement among local residents".

None of the features in the British press makes any claims about how well the calendar is selling.

We contacted 10 of the UK's biggest sellers of calendars - none of them is stocking the calendar.
