Apparently, Russia’s president Dmitry Medvedev is considered to be the shortest among current world leaders. He is 162 cm tall and was jokingly dubbed “nanopresident”. There is Russian saying though – “Мал, да удал”.I wonder how tall is Armenia’s Serj Sargsyan? Based on this photo from president.am, he seems around the same height or even shorter than Russia’s Medvedev. Not that I think there is anything wrong with being short, just curious really after reading this Italian/Russian report :)

In the age of late capitalist culture industry, people measure each other by the "eye of a coffin maker. The truth comes out when they state the result, calling the person tall [long, in German], short, fat, heavy." - Theodor Adorno, "Dielectic of Enlightenment", p. 196
I hope it would be possible rather to measure the size and weight of Sarkissian's brain....
I knew he reminded me of someone ;))
