During an address to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and African Union leaders, Patriarch Kirill started his speech as follows:
"Your Excellency, the much-esteemed Vladimir Vasilievich...er, cough....Vladimir Vladimirovich, President of the Russian Federation".
Patriarch Kirill instantly corrected his use of the incorrect patronymic. Putin, however, smirked and appeared bemused at being referred to as Vladimir Vasilievich.
The official report on the website of the Russian Orthodox Church "patriarchia.ru" included a video which edited out the misnaming but included Putin's smirk in response.
