The woman tried to push her way through to Mr Putin, who looked amused by the incident, but was blocked by aides. Her back was painted with an obscene slogan in Cyrillic script directed against the Russian president.
The activist was with two other women who also stripped to the waist and shouted slogans calling the Russian leader a "dictator".
The women appeared to be members of the feminist group Femen, which has staged topless protests against the sex industry and religious institutions.
Femen protests have included burning a Salafist flag in front of the Grand Mosque in Paris, and chopping down an Orthodox cross with a chainsaw.
The group has criticized Mr Putin over the arrest and conviction of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot, for performing an anti-Putin song in a Moscow cathedral last year.
