A pro-Kremlin group has compiled some of the quotes and one-liners of Russian President Vladimir Putin into a 400-page book and sent several copies of it Russian officials, calling an 'ideal holiday gift' for them.

The book, titled The Words that are changing the World, contains some of the 'most patriotic' quotes of the Russian President, whose fans see him as the 'savior of modern Russia'.

'We had begun to notice that everything which Putin says comes to pass to one degree or another. In this book we traced his words and confirmed that idea,' Anton Volodin, author of the book said in a statement.

Among the quotes selected are Putin's threat to 'rub out' Chechen militants in the 'out house', his contested assertion that Crimea was always and remains an 'inseparable' part of Russia, and a bizarre brush-off of Latvia in which he told Riga it could only expect to receive 'the ears of a dead donkey' from Moscow, a Russian expression for nothing.

The tome is likely to hit Russian bookstores in January.
