Putin is all about judo, he did this willingly

Not to be a debbie downer, but when practicing, Judoka throw each other. In fact, their partner will allow them to execute the throw and provide little to no resistance. That's how they learn the throws.

Unless this happened during randori. Then yeah, he might've been ragdolled.

Edit: It was pointed out to me in the comments that Putin is wearing dress clothes. I didn't notice that somehow. I need glasses for my glasses.
