Vladimir vladimirovich Putin Vladimir vladimirovich Putin was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg, Russia), the former president of Russia. During Putin's presidency from 2000 to 2008, Russia's military and political strength have been improved to a considerable extent, but he has been controversial about democracy, which can be said to be a veritable "iron-fisted president". But it is undeniable that Putin has gained a very high support rate in Russia. In 2007, Putin was selected as the man of the year by Time magazine. Putin briefly served as Russian Prime Minister before he was elected President (1999-2000). After leaving office in 2008, Putin was nominated by his successor Medvedev and became prime minister for the second time.

Early career

1952101On October 7th, Putin was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). His biography From the First Person (Russian: отпервоголица) was published in 2000 with the support of Putin's campaign team. According to this biography, Putin lived in a community apartment in his early years and kept learning in order to have the wisdom of officials in Soviet movies.

Putin's mother Maria Ivanovna Pujingna is a factory worker, while his father Vladimir Spiridonovic Putin served in the Soviet navy. In 1930s, Putin's father served in the submarine force, and later he served as a bomber of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs in World War II. Putin's two brothers were born in the mid-1930s. One of them died young, and the other died of diphtheria in the defense of Leningrad. His grandfather, Spiridon Putin, was the personal chef of Lenin and Stalin.

Putin was naughty as a child and didn't become a young pioneer until the sixth grade. 65438-0975, Putin graduated from the International Law Department of Leningrad University with an associate doctorate in economics. Later, he joined the KGB and worked in Leningrad District. During this period, he met sergei ivanov, who later served as Russian Defense Minister. He joined the Soviet Union during his college years and did not formally announce his resignation. 1976, Putin completed the training of KGB and entered the confidential department of Leningrad Intelligence Agency two years later. He worked in this department until 1983, and then studied in KGB school in Moscow for one year. 1985- 1990, the KGB sent Putin to East Germany, where he got a small job. But the information shows that the so-called secondary work is actually a spy task. Putin collected the economic information of West Germany at that time in East Germany. After the reunification of Germany and Germany, Putin was recalled to Leningrad. After that, Putin got a position in the Department of International Affairs of Leningrad University. 199 1 On August 20th, 2008, when the KGB plotted to overthrow Soviet President Gorbachev, he resigned from his post in the intelligence agency.

Become prime minister

1August 9, 999, Putin was appointed as one of the three Russian prime ministers. After that, the government led by the former Prime Minister collapsed, and Russian President Yeltsin appointed Putin as Prime Minister. Yeltsin also announced that he hoped Putin would succeed him. Putin also announced his acceptance of Yeltsin's appointment. On August 16, the State Duma approved Putin as prime minister with 233 votes (84 against, 17 abstentions). Because the first four prime ministers were in office for a short time, the public did not expect Putin, who was unknown at that time. Putin's main competitors, Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov and others, had already started their campaign at that time, and they were committed to cracking down on Putin and preventing him from becoming Yeltsin's successor. However, Putin's public image of maintaining law and order and his resolute attitude towards the Chechen incident finally made him a very popular presidential candidate. Putin's supporters

Putin has been tough on the Chechen incident. 1999, Chechen separatists invaded the neighboring Republic of Dagestan, and Putin immediately ordered a counterattack. 199965438+February 3 1, Putin visited Russian officers and men in Chechnya, greatly enhancing his public image. In recent years, Putin has deliberately played down the importance of the Chechen incident. In 2003, the new constitution of Chechnya stipulated that Chechnya was a part of Russia, and this matter was eased. Later, the electoral system and local government were established in Chechnya, and the Chechen incident was almost solved smoothly.

At that time, Putin did not establish formal relations with any party, but the United Russia Party he supported won 23.32% of the votes in the 1999 State Duma election, ranking second among all parties. At this point, Putin became the candidate with the highest chance of winning in the Russian presidential election in 2000.

Become president

1999, Putin was appointed as Russian Prime Minister by President Yeltsin. On the evening of February 3, the same year, Yeltsin suddenly announced his resignation, and Putin became acting president according to the Russian Constitution. Because of this, the Russian presidential election originally scheduled for June 2000 was advanced to March 26th. The advance of the general election made the opposition party unable to fully prepare, and Putin's actual power weakened the opposition party, so in the subsequent general election, Putin won and became president. However, according to Yeltsin's daughter tatyana, Putin does not want to succeed the president immediately, but Yeltsin can continue to serve as president until the end of his term. Russian streets and alleys are full of Putin's image.

In June 5438+October 2000 10, Putin passed the Russian national anthem amendment bill, which changed the tune of the national anthem to the former Soviet Union 199 1, but the lyrics were different.

On February 200 1 2 12, Putin signed a bill stipulating that the state should protect the former president and his family. This is mainly because former President Yeltsin and his family were suspected of participating in money laundering and other corrupt acts from 65438 to 0999.

On March 4th, 2004, 65438+ Putin was re-elected as president, with an absolute majority of 7 1%. During his second term as president, westerners widely criticized him for suppressing press freedom. At the same time, a survey in 2005 showed that 82% of Russians agreed to censorship. According to this survey, sociologists believe that Russians agree with limiting controversial content in ethics, not political content.

On September 13, 2004, after the Beslan hostage incident, Putin proposed to set up an open legislature to replace the original system of directly appointing local officials in Russia. Putin also stepped up the crackdown on terrorism, especially the punishment of government officials who sheltered terrorists. Putin said that Russia has the right to "arrest and destroy terrorists from their hiding places and arrest them abroad if necessary."

The United Russia Party, mainly supported by Putin, has repeatedly expressed its recognition of Putin and his thoughts during Putin's term of office. From June 5438 to February 2006, the Seventh Congress of the United Russia Party adopted the program "Russia We Choose", summarizing and declaring Putin Thought as the party's guiding ideology. The main strategy in this statement is consistent with Putin's policy and the basic idea of Putin's "State of the Union Address".

Due to the restriction of the current Russian constitution on the term of office of the president, Putin cannot continue to participate in the 2008 presidential election. In 2007, in an interview with a reporter from the Group of Eight, Putin thought that "a presidential term of five to seven years is completely acceptable", suggesting that he might extend the presidential term by amending the Constitution. Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin has always opposed Putin's constitutional amendment, and the chairman of the United Russia Party, who won a great victory in the 2007 State Duma election, also expressed the opinion that Putin would not amend the constitution.

However, the constitution does not limit the number of times a person can be elected president, so Putin may continue to compete for the presidency in 20 12. Putin can also announce his resignation before the election and then participate in the election. Some media also believe that Putin may choose to appoint a successor and leave, and manipulate the Russian political situation behind the scenes. However, on February 1 2007, Putin publicly denied this possibility. He said: "I will not appoint an heir. The president of the Russian Federation will be elected fairly through general elections. " In addition, some people think that Putin may choose to join the United Russia Party and become the leader of the party, thus occupying a high position in the State Duma and then mastering real power.

From June 5438 to February 2007, the United Russia Party and other parties elected Dmitry Medvedev as the next Russian president, and Putin agreed. In this way, the chances of Putin amending the constitution and continuing to serve as president become very small.

diplomatic policy

On the diplomatic front, Putin tried to restore Russia's superpower status in the Soviet era and achieved certain success. For example, at the Munich Conference in 2007, Putin accused the United States of arbitrariness in international affairs, and claimed that the United States "used power unabashedly" in international affairs. In addition, Putin also said: "No one will feel safe. No one will think that international law is a wall that can protect them. American policy is stimulating the arms race all over the world. " Putin and US President George Bush

Putin pointed out that the ideal world order should be "a just and democratic world order, which can guarantee the security and wealth of all people, not just a few." He played an important role in uranium development, control and prevention of space armament. In June 5438 +2007 10, Putin said in an interview that Russia advocated a democratic and multipolar world order and supported the consolidation of the international law system.

At the same time, Russia under Putin has also established strategic relations with the European Union, the United States and other western countries. Therefore, Russia became a member of the G8, and took the rotating presidency in 2006 (handed over to Germany in 2007). Putin is also concerned about Asian affairs, especially the developments in China and India.

Some western politicians have long accused Putin of his totalitarian tendencies. Although Putin has maintained friendly relations with former US President George H.W. Bush, former British Prime Minister Blair and former German Chancellor Schroeder, the relationship between the new German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Putin is not ideal. In 2005, Putin held consultations with German Chancellor Angela gerhard schroder on the construction of the Russian-German natural gas pipeline. In the same year, Schroeder attended Putin's 53rd birthday party in St. Petersburg. However, the relationship between Russia and Britain is not optimistic: at the end of 2006, litvinenko, a former Russian agent who fled to Britain, died of poisoning, which greatly worsened the relationship between Russia and Britain. In addition, Putin has repeatedly tried to establish good diplomatic relations with CIS countries. Putin and the European Union, NATO and other western organizations have drawn closer relations with Central and Eastern European countries (especially the Baltic countries).

Before the Ukrainian presidential election in 2004, Putin visited Ukraine twice to show his support for Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Fedorovici Yanukovych. Before the election results were announced, Putin also sent Yanukovych a congratulatory letter of "almost certain victory". Putin's support for pro-Russian Yanukovych has been widely criticized as interference in Ukraine's internal affairs. In addition, Georgia and Moldova, both former Soviet republics, also criticized the Russian government for supporting separatists in the two countries. The diplomatic relations between Russia and the Baltic countries are also in a state of tension, and Estonia's criticism of Russia has further ossified the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is worth noting that Putin's father almost died in Estonia during a blasting mission in World War II. Some scholars believe that this is one of the reasons why Putin is indifferent to Estonia.

Foreign military policy

When the 200 1, 911incident occurred, Putin agreed to establish a cooperative military base in Central Asia. This decision not only surprised Russian nationalists, but also surprised the Russian Defense Minister. In 2003, Putin opposed the US invasion of Iraq without the authorization of the UN Security Council. After the war, US President Bush called for the lifting of sanctions against Iraq, while Putin supported the lifting of sanctions, believing that the United Nations should first complete the investigation of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Putin (middle) at the 2006 APEC meeting

After the Munich speech, discussions about Putin broke out on both sides of the Atlantic. On the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War, Putin said: "Our threat has not diminished. On the contrary, they are slowly changing and wearing veils-and the new threat is to build a world that is no different from Nazi Germany: a regime that ignores human life, willfulness, centralization and dictatorship. " Some commentators believe that this is a comparison between the United States and Nazi Germany. On the eve of the 33rd G8 Summit, Anne Epbam, wife of Polish politician and American journalist, wrote: "Whether threatening to launch an information war with Estonia, threatening to cut off Lithuania's resource supply, or banning Georgian wine and Polish meat resources, all these strongly prove that he (Putin) is prepared to expand Russia's influence to the former Soviet Union countries in recent years-regardless of their own feelings. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that he no longer regards western countries as trade and political partners, but prefers to regard them as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh with the old thinking of the Cold War. "

Putin has always opposed the US plan to build a missile defense system in Europe. In order to warn US President George W. Bush, Putin signed an agreement with the Czech Republic on June 7, 2007, allowing the Czech Republic to use Azerbaijan's Soviet radar to avoid additional maintenance costs. Putin also claimed to be ready to rebuild the missile early warning system of the former Soviet Union 1985. Although countries expect Russia to set up an interception system in Poland, Putin pointed out that he would seek assistance from NATO members Turkey and Iraq if necessary. In addition, Putin also claimed that Russia will accept the participation requests of other European countries.

Nuclear policy

Russia, as the only country that has conducted nuclear research cooperation with Iran, is regarded as the key to the Iranian issue and has a decisive position of "taking one hair and moving the whole body". Although Russia has close ties with Iran and tries to use Iran to contain the United States and other western countries, Putin does not support Iran's nuclear program. Although Russia helped Iran build the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran mainly relied on Pakistan for nuclear research. Putin not only repeatedly expressed his disapproval of nuclear proliferation, but also signed his opposition at the G8 meeting.

As for North Korea, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Russia gave it a cold shoulder and turned to support South Korea. Since Putin took office, he has not only visited the DPRK many times, but also resolved the potential war crisis between the DPRK and the ROK. In addition, Putin has made it clear to North Korea that he is willing to help it alleviate its economic problems. Since the re-emergence of the North Korean nuclear issue in 2002, Russia has repeatedly sought to join the talks and finally got its wish. In 2006, North Korea conducted a nuclear test explosion. After Putin was informed, he immediately condemned North Korea's nuclear test and called five countries in the six-nation meeting to discuss the DPRK nuclear issue. Generally speaking, Putin is firmly opposed to nuclear proliferation.

Russian-Japanese territorial issue

In June 5438 +2000 10, shortly after Putin became Russian president, he called Japanese Prime Minister Mori Yoshiro, hoping that the two sides would hold talks. Mori Yoshiro, caught in a political crisis, agreed on the spot, hoping to resolve the territorial issue between the two countries through negotiations and gain political capital. However, Putin's attitude was firm. When he visited Japan in September of the same year, he rejected Mori Yoshiro's request to implement Kawauchi's proposal. Putin proposed to conclude an intermediate treaty first, which was also rejected by Mori Yoshiro. After negotiations, the two sides jointly announced the adoption of the 1956 Soviet Joint Statement in March 2006. However, at that time, the support rate of Mori Yoshiro's cabinet had dropped to 9%, and some people called for it to step down. In April of the same year, Mori Yoshiro stepped down and Junichiro Koizumi took over as prime minister, because the hope of relying on Russia to fight back was dashed. The four northern islands are the focus of Japan-Russia negotiations.

In 2003, Japanese diplomacy with China, North Korea and South Korea was not smooth because the Prime Minister visited the Yasukuni Shrine. Junichiro Koizumi decided to visit Russia for support. During this visit, Putin supported Japan to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, but on the territorial issue, the two countries still have not reached a consensus. In 2004, under the unfavorable situation of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, Koizumi decided to raise the territorial issue as the main discussion topic again. On September 2 of the same year, Koizumi visited the four northern islands, which was strongly protested by Russia, and the diplomacy between the two countries was deadlocked. 165438+ 10 In order to break the diplomatic deadlock, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov expressed his willingness to abide by the Japan-Soviet joint statement and return the Tooth Dance Islands and Sedan Island among the four islands. Putin agreed that a visit to Japan could create momentum. However, Russian right-wingers expressed opposition. Sakhalin even organized militia to prevent the Japanese from getting the four islands. Extremists claim that if Russia wants to return its territory, it will rally to demand that Putin step down. Japan is also extremely dissatisfied with Russia's return of only two islands, saying that Putin's words are "platitudes of the Soviet era." Putin responded that in the Japan-Soviet joint statement, only two islands were returned, and the territorial issue between Russia and Japan has not been resolved yet.

Litvinenko incident.

On July 20th, 2007, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced the expulsion of four Russian diplomats on the grounds that Russia refused to hand over Andrei lugovoi, a former KGB agent accused of murdering another former agent, Alexander Litvinenko. Although the Russian Constitution prohibits sending Russian citizens to other countries, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said: "It is not unprecedented to amend the Constitution for a European wanted order. Some countries have already done it. " This remark was later called "Britain tried to ask Russia to amend the constitution" by the Russian media. A poll shows that 62% of Russians oppose constitutional amendment. In response, Tony Brandon, the British ambassador to Russia, said that Britain did not force Russia to amend its constitution, but only described the possibility of sending lugovoi. Putin then asked British officials to "repair their brains" and called Britain's request "a legacy of old ideas from the colonial period." A friend of litvinenko once said that before his death, litvinenko accused Putin of manipulating the murder. The Russian media later accused this statement of being untrue, while Putin said: "What the deceased said is not worthy of comment." This incident is regarded as the biggest conflict between Russia and Britain since the 1996 spy incident. Putin later said: "We will survive this small crisis. Russian-British relations will continue to advance steadily, and both Russians and Britons hope that relations between the two countries will be normalized as soon as possible. " Despite this, Tony Brandon was given 10 days by the Russian Foreign Ministry to respond, and the Russian government stopped issuing visas to British officials. Russia also stopped its anti-terrorism cooperation with Britain. Alexander sorkin, chairman of the Russian trade union, also said that British businessmen who invest in Russia will face "tax and regulatory restrictions, and they will lose the opportunity of government procurement." Some people think that the root of this murder is that Britain announced in 2003 that it would provide political asylum to Russian tycoon boris berezovsky who tried to overthrow Putin's regime, and berezovsky was litvinenko's patron.

support

According to a poll, as of June 2007 165438+ 10, Putin's support rate was as high as 84%, ranking first in the world. His approval rate was only 3 1% in August/999, but it reached 80% in August 1 1 year 10, and has never dropped by 65% since then. Analysts believe that Putin's high support rate mainly comes from the remarkable improvement of people's livelihood during his term of office and Russia's regaining the right to speak in the world. Putin has received high support. In 2000, CIS countries gathered in the Kremlin. Another reason is that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, most Russians were disappointed with the western countries, so they no longer trusted pro-Western democratic politicians, who were also greatly suppressed during Putin's term of office. Russian TV stations rarely see Putin's opponents. However, there will still be opposition and comments from western media in independent media, and Russian independent media mostly have a wide audience in big cities. But in remote areas, many people can't see independent media, only see the official tone. Greb PaVilov, a famous Russian critic, said that his radio station would not criticize Putin because he liked him.

At the beginning of 2005, a youth organization named "Nash" (наши, meaning "our country") was established in Russia under the impetus of some officials in Putin's government. It defines itself as a democratic anti-fascist organization. One of the main purposes of the organization is to avoid a repeat of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004 in Russia. Vasily Yakmenko, the leader of the organization, said, "It is impossible for the enemy (of Putin's government) to launch an unconstitutional coup." Sergei Markov, a Kremlin spokesman, said: "Our goal is to build an ideology dedicated to the president and his goals." Regarding the Nash organization, he commented: "They want Russia to become a modern, powerful and free country ... Their purpose is clear, that is, to modernize the country while maintaining the political system."

criticize

Although most Russians support Putin, the voice of opposition is growing. Pro-American media often accuse Putin's policies of being anti-democratic. In addition, Putin's personality cult policy has also been widely criticized. There are also reports that Putin manipulated the media to suppress supporters, such as Kasparov, the chess king, who was arrested many times for protesting against the government. In response, Putin responded: "In this country, some people beg for food from foreign embassies like running dogs, expecting the support of foreign foundations and governments, rather than relying on their own people."

Putin and United Russia are far ahead of the opposition parties in polls and elections, but these parties often point out that Putin is operating behind the scenes to modify public opinion. In the 2007 State Duma election, although Putin claimed that the election was "widely transparent and honest", Russian President Dmitry zyuganov still commented on the result: "This is a shameful farce, which is not in line with national interests and democratic system." "What you see today is not just a democratic crisis. A political party without claims, a group of candidates who did not participate in the debate and the fraud results calculated 30 days ago are now jumping on the TV screen in front of you. " Putin's act of excluding all opposition parties from the State Duma by amending the Constitution is also widely controversial.

Putin's attempt to maintain his power after the expiration of two presidential terms has also caused dissatisfaction. It is reported that Putin may amend the constitution and extend the presidency. Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin expressed firm opposition to this.

In the eyes of westerners, Putin's policies have seriously hindered the development of Russian democracy. Some scholars have pointed out that Putin's policy "makes Russia's democratic prospects more uncertain". In addition, some scholars criticized Russia's policy towards Chechnya, arguing that Putin used the war as an excuse to violate the human rights of the Chechen people and put pressure on the domestic opposition. Russia's tendency of government intervention in the market after Putin came to power has also been repeatedly accused by liberal economists. In the eyes of westerners, even if Putin did not instruct to stop the democratic process in Russia, he did not actively crack down on these obstacles.

For westerners, the most prominent manifestation of Russian democracy is the election of the State Duma. In the 2003 general election, the United Russia Party controlled half of the seats, while the Russian Communist Party suffered a crushing defeat. In 2007, the Russian Communist Party became the only opposition party in the State Duma. Many westerners accuse Putin of using the media to publicize the idea of unifying the Russian Party and instigating the establishment of the Russian Motherland Party to steal the votes of the Russian Communist Party. In addition, the Russian presidential election is also regarded as the epitome of Russian democracy. There was a strange phenomenon before the Russian presidential election. No one was ready for the election, and even the opposition party called for refusing to vote.

During US Secretary of State Powell's visit to Russia in June 5438+ 10, 2004, it was pointed out that Putin's suppression of the opposition media and the arrest of the chaebol who supported the opposition were the embodiment of "democratic retrogression". Most senior officials in the United States hold this attitude. Therefore, although Russia-US relations are flourishing on the surface, many scholars believe that if Putin further pursues the authoritarian policy, Russia-US relations will eventually break down.

Dissident March

From 2006 to 2007, another Russian organization launched a March led by Kasparov and Limonov. The procession was hindered in many ways: in some cities, demonstrators were intervened by the police, and at least 150 people were arrested; In addition, according to public voting, most Russians do not support the March. At the same time, not many people actually took part in the parade. In the March of the EU Summit in May 2007, there were even more journalists than the marchers. Later, a reporter asked Putin what he thought of the parade. Putin replied that these demonstrations "should not interfere with the normal life of Russians." On March 3, 2007, a parade in St. Petersburg blocked the streets, causing great headaches for local drivers. The mayor of St. Petersburg commented: "Everyone has the right to criticize the authorities, but criticism should also pay attention to civilization." When asked about Kasparov's arrest, Putin said that Kasparov's speech that day was mostly in English, thinking that his words were addressed to westerners. Taking this opportunity, Putin pointed out that some local supporters were manipulated by foreign countries. He said: "Those who oppose us don't really want us to make a reform plan ... They want Russia to be as weak as possible, and they want Russia to have no organization and no goals, so that they can manipulate behind the scenes and enjoy success."

successor

From June 5438 to February 2007, Dmitri Anatolyevich Medvedev was elected as Putin's successor by the United Russia Party and other political parties, and Putin agreed. Putin said: "I fully support this nomination." Most of Putin's supporters later said that they would accept Putin's choice. After being appointed as the successor by Putin, the share price of Gazprom, with Medvedev as the chairman, rose by 2.7% that day. Putin's successor, Medvedev.

After winning the presidential nomination, Medvedev said that he would nominate Putin as prime minister. Medvedev said: "It is equally important to maintain the ability of the current president to form a team. I believe that it is very important for our country for Putin to remain in the position of the most important prime minister of the ruling power. " "Of course, we should wait for the president's response to Medvedev's proposal first," said Alexander Babacov, secretary of the Presidium of the Central Committee of Just Russia. But I believe that Putin's appointment as prime minister is beneficial to the country. " Putin also said that if the party can win an overwhelming victory and find a worthy successor, then it will agree to become prime minister in the future.

A Russian politician believes that Putin can have a rest after trying to reach a compromise and concession with Medvedev. Needless to say, if Putin is willing to be the next president, Medvedev will give him a chance without saying anything. Russian Communist Party leader zyuganov believes that the relationship between Russia and Belarus is getting closer and closer. If the two countries merge one day, Putin may continue to serve as president, making the constitution a dead letter. Zyuganov said: "Medvedev, one year after Putin's chosen successor becomes president, Russia may merge with Belarus. Putin may still become president by then, which will be a great misfortune for Russia. "

[Edit this paragraph] Personal life

1On July 28th, 983, Putin married Lyudmila Pujingna. Pujingna 1958 1.6 was born in Kaliningrad. She used to be a flight attendant, and she was a Spanish undergraduate in the Language Department of Leningrad University. The eldest daughter Maria Pujingna of the Putin couple was born in 1985, and the youngest daughter yekaterina Pujingna was born in 1986.

Putin's father is a "model worker, who firmly believes in communism and tries to apply it to daily life." Because of his contribution, he became the secretary of the core party member, and joined the Party branch of the factory after completing the communist course. Although Putin's father was an atheist, his mother was a staunch believer in the Orthodox Church (which was being suppressed by the Soviet government). Putin's mother does not engage in religious activities at home, but often participates in church activities. She taught Putin orthodox ideas when he was a child, but Putin's father didn't interfere, even though he knew it very well. 1993, Putin's wife was in a car accident and a fire destroyed their house. This incident made Putin an Orthodox Christian. Before he went to Israel for the first time, his mother gave him a cross to wear. Later, Putin recalled: "I did what she said and hung the cross around my neck. Since then, I have never taken it off. "

Putin's favorite sport is judo. /kloc-started practicing Sambo at the age of 0/4, and then turned to judo, and has been practicing until now. Putin won the championship in Leningrad Judo Competition.

He is currently a six-segment black belt, good at sweeping waist and throwing. Putin is also the "Sports Master" of Judo and Sambo.

It is reported that Putin likes eating fish very much. In addition, he has a special interest in fried and baked food.

[Edit this paragraph] Anecdote

1988 In May, US President Ronald Reagan visited the Soviet Union and was photographed in Moscow's Red Square. There are Reagan and his party and two male tourists, one big and one small, in the photo. Reagan is shaking hands with young tourists. Pete, the full-time photographer of the President of the United States who took photos, claimed that the man standing behind the teenager with a camera around his neck was an important member of the Soviet National Security Council (KGB) at that time and the current Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

After US Vice President Cheney accused Putin, Putin replied: "Your vice president's remarks seem to be comparable to the failed hunting trip." (Cheney accidentally injured others while hunting, and Putin is here to make fun of him. )

Regarding George W. Bush's criticism of Russian democracy at the press conference after the 32nd G-8 Summit, Putin said: "Let me tell you honestly that Russians don't want the kind of democracy in Iraq at all."

After criticizing the United States for attacking Iraq, Putin said: "But then again, it would be another mistake if the United States only left Iraq without establishing an orderly government agency."

Putin used to ride or fly fighter planes. In 2000, he visited Chechnya by Su -27 fighter. In 2005, he also served as the captain of Tu-160 strategic bomber and went to the north to inspect military exercises.
