Why do Russians like Putin so much?

Russian media called him a "black box" because he was thin and cold, like a mystery, so inscrutable; The famous Russian singer Miguel beaujard, who has a deep personal relationship with him, described it this way: "He is like an iceberg: you can only see the top, and no one knows how big it is below." He is the 50-year-old Russian president-Putin, the son of a civilian, a judo master and intelligence officer in the Soviet era. The civilian background has cultivated his high sense of responsibility for the motherland and people, his secret service experience has cultivated his calmness and concealment, and judo training has created his perseverance. Russia is proud of him.

As president, there are principles and human feelings.

"Where there are gangsters, fight where."

In May 2000, Putin stepped into the center of Russian politics and became the third president of the Russian Federation. This year was called "Putin Year" by Russians. At the beginning of his tenure, he took it as his responsibility to revive the image of a great country, vigorously pursued a major policy with obvious pragmatism, and gradually brought Russia, whose national strength was declining, to the road of rejuvenation.

There is no doubt that Putin is the iron hand that Russians are dreaming of at present. He always swings his arms when he walks, giving people the feeling of a soldier. He flew fighter planes over war-torn Chechnya and declared, "Where there are bandits, we will fight them. If you catch a bandit in the toilet, put him directly in the urinal. " When visiting Russian soldiers fighting in Chechnya, Putin chose a more symbolic way-signing the hunting knife instead of the usual inspection.

Four-degree handshake to repair Russia-US relations

On the international stage, Putin made frequent visits to improve Russia's external environment and shook hands with US President George W. Bush for four times within six months, which made the relationship between Russia and the United States deteriorate from mutual expulsion of diplomats to rapid warming. Regarding the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the US-Soviet 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, Putin only said lightly that the decision of the United States was "wrong". Although this makes people feel a little helpless, the main signal contained in Putin's words is that the current Putin government, which pursues a flexible and pragmatic foreign policy, "improving relations with the United States is not a tactical diplomatic strategy, but a strategic foreign policy adjustment based on safeguarding Russian interests." feel

Fell to the ground by a little Japanese girl

Aggressiveness is not what Putin wants to impress. He is a smart man and knows when to choose to back down. In September 2000, Putin, who was visiting Japan, visited the Tokyo Jiangdao Judo Hall. After receiving the welcome flowers, the judo master and a Japanese girl aged 10 walked into the judo venue to practice their skills. As a result, Putin was thrown to the ground by his little opponent.

Losing to a young female opponent is obviously Putin's choice. At least, in the Japanese judo field, the Russian president wants to show not the absolute superiority of strength, but the understanding of a certain culture. When people see Putin being thrown to the ground from TV and newspaper photos, no one thinks it is rude, but they know more about a firm, gentle, strong and flexible Russian.

Laugh for Prime Minister Bo Ying and make up for English.

When British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited Russia for the first time, Putin hosted him in a bar. Like old friends, they ate and talked, went to the opera house to watch the performance, pushed a cup for a change in the bar, and called each other Tony and Varoga by nicknames.

Putin is also very humorous. On one occasion, Putin joked in Russian: "There is such a joke in Russia that when Russian men get together in the office, they all talk about women;" When they and women are not in the office, all they talk about is work. Unfortunately, Blair didn't understand the joke.

Since then, Putin has studied English grammar for an hour from a full-time teacher almost every day. Of course, Putin knows that learning English has more advantages: he wants Blair to be an important mediator between the United States and Russia.

Protect Yeltsin from forgetting the kindness of meeting him.

In the 1990s, Putin successively served in the office of President Yeltsin and the intelligence department. 1In August 1999, Putin became the Russian Prime Minister. Four months later, times, opportunities and talents made the son of an ordinary worker the head of state of the Russian Federation.

1999 At midnight on the last day, Putin was entrusted by former President Yeltsin to "cherish Russia" and took over the constitutional text and the symbol of presidential rights-the first-class medal of the motherland and the nuclear button. He thanked Yeltsin for his cordial meeting. He always lost no time to protect Yeltsin and his family in public, paid more respect to Yeltsin and gave him grand praise. But at the same time, he is also trying to get rid of the shackles and create a new era of Putin who is his own master. Putin, who is both human and principled, has won the hearts of more Russian people.

As a man.

Russian women's idols

In terms of appearance, Putin is by no means the kind of handsome man who makes people fall in love at first sight, but he has a unique charm. In the eyes of Russian women, Putin is the sexiest and most attractive man in Russia.

As soon as President Putin appears on TV, some Russian women will definitely compete with their husbands for the control of TV channels, and even have to give up what they want when their husbands are watching a wonderful football match. Many Russians name their children after Putin, and places where Putin has been have also become tourist hotspots. In Putin's hometown, everyone remembers the polite young man, who had no bad habits and didn't drink, and he loved to sing Russian folk songs when he relaxed. In 200 1 year, the most sought-after Christmas gift in Russia is a set of calendars for 2002. The theme of these calendars is neither famous landscapes nor young women, but 12 faces of President Putin with different expressions.

Many Russians conclude that Putin is very popular with women, mainly because he is always so energetic and masculine whenever he appears in public, and the secret is that he insists on physical exercise. Putin learned sambo wrestling at the age of 1 1 and later fell in love with judo. He became a judo coach, and even Abdulaev, a Russian Sambo wrestler who won the world championship twice, was his favorite disciple.

Putin accepted his personality cult, although it was a bit embarrassing.

Not long ago, when Russians woke up from the memory of the bloody horror of the country, the support rate of the standard President Putin soared. If you turn on the FM stereo on the radio, you can hear a song hovering over Moscow: "Marry a man like Putin".

The radio broadcast this song sung by three female singers in order to convince the people of the whole country that Putin is a man who really leads the country out of the hostage crisis.

Girlfriend said he was considerate.

Many years later, galina, the first girlfriend who still maintained friendship and affection with Putin, described it this way: Putin has a wide range of knowledge and extensive reading. Although his appearance is not amazing, his inner world and emotional world are extremely rich. He is a considerate, caring and humorous person. "I'm crazy about Varoga (Putin's nickname)."

In middle school, galina met Putin through her sister. They often go shopping and have trysts. Putin, who knows judo, always stands up to protect his female companion and never makes her feel unsafe when he is provoked by drunks in the street. At that time, Putin's clothes were always simple, and there seemed to be no decent clothes, but Putin was generous and never valued money.

Now, galina has her own family and lives a normal life, but the beautiful youth she spent with Putin is still deeply hidden in her memory. "Even now, if I have any difficulties, he will certainly help me without hesitation. He is such a person. He is obsessed with old friends, people and things he has experienced in the past, never bears grudges and never retaliates against others. "

As a husband

2001June 12 is Russia's independence day. That night, Russian national television broadcasted a personal life documentary called "Putin, Leap Year" for the first time in prime time, starring Russian President Putin himself: before leaving work, Putin tidied up his desk like most people, and then said goodbye to the office staff one by one. After returning to the official residence, he first came to the swimming pool and enjoyed himself. After the exercise, he looked relaxed and stood on the electronic scale to weigh himself-75 kilograms.

The president has a busy life. He spends little time with his wife and two daughters. Usually every day when he goes to work, they are still sleeping, and when he gets off work, they fall asleep again.

Being late for a date is also very masculine.

In the eyes of many Russian women, Putin is the best candidate for a good husband. However, Putin's wife, Russian First Lady lyudmila, revealed her husband's many shortcomings in a biography entitled The Road to Power. Not only was she late for the date, but she was also a male chauvinist. He has two golden rules for women: "Women must tidy up their homes"; You can't praise a woman casually, or you will spoil her.

Putin, who is unsmiling, has a special feature in proposing marriage: he said to lyudmila with a serious face: "I said, friend, you know my personality is difficult to get along with. Now, you must make a choice about life. " Lyudmila was so cold that he thought Putin was going to break up with her, so he replied, "You know my choice. I need you. " As a result, Putin immediately said: "In this case, I formally propose to you. I love you. Do you agree to marry me? " "Yes, I agree." "If you don't mind, we will get married in three months, that is, on July 28th." In this way, the two set a lifelong event.

Life is not easy to marry a spy husband. "Maybe this is his professional habit of being a spy before. All the days we were together, I always felt that he was using me as an experiment for him to observe and analyze. If you live under the eyes of a spy for a week, you will understand what it is like. "

Lyudmila finally chose Putin as her lifelong companion, because in her eyes, although her husband is not perfect, he is indeed a real man.
