Putin's unforgettable KGB career interviewed about the spy history in East Germany.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is visiting Germany, was interviewed by a TV station in Weimar, Germany, and told about his days as a spy in the former East Germany in the 1980s.

Don't forget spy friends.

On the 9th, Puddin met with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Weimar. On the same day, Puddin and Schroeder were interviewed by TV for nearly an hour. Puddin said that when he returned to his hometown of Dresden in September 20001,Schroeder helped him meet an old friend related to the former East German spy organization. At that time, both Russia and Germany * * * denied that Puding had any connection with people in the former East German national security field (Stasi).

In the interview program, Puddin said, "When I was in Dresden, I told Schroeder that my wife and I wanted to see an old friend. The family of this old friend used to be an official of the national security organ. Schroeder's answer made me very happy. He said it was only a private matter and he didn't mind at all. If my friend can come, he will be very happy. Later, he invited my friends to have lunch with us and visit the scenery of the Elbe River. " Puddin's narration of this story is very meaningful, which shows the good personal relationship between him and Schroeder.

Pudding is a German expert.

From 1984 to 1990, Puddin worked for KGB, the intelligence agency of the former Soviet Union. In the conversation that night, Puding said half jokingly that this was "a job similar to 007, full of risks"; But then he immediately changed his tone and said seriously, "Strictly speaking, this is just a stylized job. I only deal with information every day. "

Puddin also talked about his life experience in Germany, such as developing his own taste in beer during his stay in Germany, and his daughter can speak fluent and authentic German. Although Putin used Russian in the conversation, Schroeder spoke highly of Putin's German level. Schroeder said: "He knows Germany and German very well and can tell many jokes in authentic German."

Unforgettable KGB life

Puding was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) on 1952. In high school, he often went to the KGB headquarters to look for a job. After a 20-minute conversation, the KGB interviewer suggested that he finish the university course first, and Puddin accepted the suggestion.

1975, Puddin graduated from the Law Department of the National Leningrad University and joined the First General Directorate of the KGB (Foreign Intelligence Agency). Puddin was 32 years old when he was sent to work in Dresden, Germany. No.4 Ankirika Street, where he works and lives, is the KGB office, and across the street is the Stasi in Dresden, the activity center of the former East German intelligence department. Puding has always missed his career in Germany. According to his old subordinates in Germany, Puding was quite reluctant when he was ordered to return to China in the late 1980s.

Putin is very proud of his experience in the KGB, and thinks that this experience has played a very important role in his administration of Russia. Puddin once said, "The most important thing is that it taught me how to communicate with people and how to deal with all kinds of people. My greatest achievement is to have a patriotism and I love my country. "
