  Politicians told - no more kissing

  
  

  Russian politicians have been told to stop kissing each other.

  
  

  They've been told to stick to handshakes as the traditional Russian greeting takes too long, Moskovsky Komsomolets reports.

  
  

  And they have now told all their officials to use only handshakes, arguing that the 'kissing ceremony' takes so long that a ban would make time for dozens of extra meetings a year.
