73 years ago today, on October 7, 1952 (August 19, 1952 in the lunar calendar), Russian President Vladimir Putin was born. Putin was born in Leningrad on October 7, 1952. After graduating from the Law Department of Leningrad State University in 1975, he worked in the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Soviet State Security Council. He served as the first deputy mayor of St. Petersburg in 1994, the deputy director of the Presidential Office and the director of the General Supervision of the Presidential Office in 1997, and the first deputy director of the Presidential Office in May 1998, in charge of the relations between the central and regional governments. Since July last year, he has been the director of the Russian Federal Security Service, a member of the Standing Committee of the Security Council in November of the same year, and the secretary of the Security Council since March 1999. He won the general election in 2000 and was elected president. Putin's grandfather is a native of St. Petersburg, who cooks well and is a chef. Putin's father is an ordinary worker. In 1911, Putin's father was born in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. After the outbreak of the First World War, life in the city was difficult, and the whole family was forced to move to his grandmother's house in the countryside. In 1928, Putin's father married a girl he met in the countryside, and in 1932 the family moved back to St. Petersburg (Leningrad). During the Great Patriotic War, Putin's father served in the naval submarine force and was seriously injured in a battle. After the war, because Putin's father was disabled, the government assigned him to a factory to do non-heavy manual labor. Putin was born and raised in such an ordinary family. Before going to school, Putin was very timid, playing with his friends in the yard all the time, and seldom went to the noisy road outside the yard. After school, with the broadening of his horizons, Putin became bolder. Once, he took a suburban train trip without telling his parents. He didn't eat or drink all day, and the cold wind was biting. He was trembling with cold. When he got home at night, he was embarrassed. Instead of getting the sympathy and warmth of his parents, he was given a belt. When he was in elementary school, Putin had complicated feelings about school, sometimes hating and sometimes loving. Before the sixth grade of primary school, he had always been a "little naughty guy" with mediocre academic performance. If it's just for studying, he doesn't like school, but he is satisfied and proud that he can keep the title of "king of the children" at school. He recalled, "My role at that time was not the role of the judiciary, but the role of the law enforcement agency." Whenever this happened, he liked school again. In order to maintain the status of "king of the children", he later studied wrestling, judo and started sports, but all these did not keep him in his position among his friends for a long time. It wasn't until he joined the Young Pioneers in the sixth grade that he realized that he should study hard. When Putin was young, he had many dreams. He once dreamed of being a navigator and traveling around the world. I also imagined being a pilot to travel in the blue sky. But since reading secret agent story books such as Shield and Sword, he was surprised to find how great it is to be a secret agent, and to do things that thousands of troops can't do alone! From then on, he made up his mind to become a secret agent, and applied for the law faculty of Leningrad University. In 1974, someone from the Leningrad Security Bureau called him to talk to him about the whereabouts of graduation distribution. Later, he made a special trip to the headquarters of the State Security Bureau in Moscow to interview relevant personnel. After graduating from college a year later, he was officially assigned to work in the National Security Agency, where he worked for 16 years. Putin's wife lyudmila is a native of Kaliningrad, western Russia. Before she met Putin, she was a stewardess of Kaliningrad Air Force. She met Putin at a concert, and since then, they have started a three-year marathon love. One day in 1983 Putin proposed to Lyudmila in his own way. He said to her, "Now you should know who I am. I don't like to talk and have a bad temper. Do you also feel unbearable at times. Am I your life partner? You may have decided what to do by now." Hearing Putin's words, Lyudmila thought this was probably an excuse for him to break up with him, and said, "I have decided!" "Really decided?" Putin looked at Lyudmila with searching eyes. Lyudmila nodded, thinking that their relationship was about to fall through. "I love you and want to choose a date to marry you." This was completely beyond Lyudmila's expectation. She didn't expect Putin to propose to her to feel so mysterious. Three months later, they got married in the restaurant of a cruise ship anchored on the banks of the Neva River. After becoming the president of Russia, President Putin drove to the Kremlin at 9 o'clock every morning to start a busy and intense day of work. After going to work, what he needs to do mainly include: reviewing various documents, reading various reference materials, reading the main articles of major newspapers and periodicals, and conducting various meetings. Such meetings usually start at 10 a.m. Under normal circumstances, wave after wave of meetings can't end until 9: 00 p.m., and in special circumstances, they often last until 1: 00 a.m. the next day. The Russian Labor Code expressly stipulates that every citizen has a five-day (40-hour) working week. But for Putin, this can only be a luxury. He devotes almost all his time to his work. As president, Putin knows that to take the overall situation and make correct decisions, one of the important points is to look at the world and pay close attention to domestic and foreign trends at all times. Therefore, he watches TV news very carefully. If he really can't spare time to watch TV, the relevant staff will record the news for him to watch on the drive home from work. By the way, both Mercedes-Benz cars of senior Kremlin officials and domestic Vladimir buses of Moscow Municipal Party Committee officials are equipped with this kind of "mobile TV". Putin is good at "seeing every opportunity" and making full use of time. Often because of lack of time, he can't eat a complete lunch all day. When he couldn't eat, the president watched TV while hurriedly drinking some yogurt and eating an apple or two. If there is plenty of time, he invites some parliamentarians, governors or cultural figures to have lunch with him. Putin rarely rests at home. In the presidential villa on the outskirts of Moscow, Putin often talked with relevant people with great interest, and he was still unfinished until the middle of the night. This president has superhuman energy. Most people usually fall asleep at 10 o'clock in the evening, when Putin's energy has just reached its peak... As early as his tenure as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, Putin has mastered the basic knowledge and skills of computers, and now he can skillfully use computers to work. Putin's wife lyudmila believes that no matter how busy and hard her husband works, it is the most common thing. Recently, when a reporter asked lyudmila about this, the first lady said affectionately, "I'm not worried about Volodya (nickname for Putin), nor am I particularly proud of him, but I just admire him deeply. He is indeed a man with extremely firm goals and no vanity. Some people work hard to make a lot of money, while he works hard for a lofty ideal. The work itself often gives him an unspeakable pleasure. " In May 1988, Reagan was shaking hands with a teenager in Red Square in Moscow, Soviet Union. Pete, the full-time photographer of the US President who took the photo, said that the man standing behind the teenager with a camera around his neck was Vladimir Putin, an important member of the Soviet National Security Council (KGB) at that time and the current Russian Prime Minister. Putin flies a fighter plane, Putin plays the piano, Putin rides a horse, Putin hunts, Putin swims, Yeltsin paves the way, and Putin takes advantage of the situation to stay in the Kremlin. After taking office as acting president, Putin went to Chechnya with his wife to express condolences to Russian soldiers. Putin is actually also a good wrestler
