Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer who is serving as the current
president of Russia since 2012, previously being in the office from 1999 until 2008.

Let's take a look at some unknown facts about one of the most feared men in the world.
I personally love this intelligent man just because of no. 6

1. Putin plays ice hockey and practices for hours in an ice rink outside town. Does he love that sport? We don’t know! But we do know that ice hockey being Russia’s national sport, playing it will gain sympathy points just as in case of Germans who happen to love soccer.

2. He loves adventures quite a lot. No wonder in 2013, he went 200 feet under water (in a submersible) in Gulf of Finland to pay a 140 years old shipwreck a visit.

3. He is good at fishing too! In 2013 again, he was on a fishing trip to Siberia where he managed to catch a 46-pound pike, making it one of the biggest catches in world. Some anglers however say that the fish was probably half the weight that was claimed.

4. Kremlin Youth Camp received a visit from Putin in 2012. Putin did a number of things there including scaling a climbing wall and participating in arm wrestling. He did something else too! He attempted bending a frying pan using his bare hands! It is not very clear whether he succeeded in doing so or not.

5. Enough of his macho side. Here is more of his actual abilities – he becomes nervous when it comes to speaking English, so he avoid speaking it during important meetings for people not to look down on his intelligence but he is perfect when it comes to speaking German.


6. In 2000 he won the Presidential election and then won it again in 2004. Because of term limits mandate, it was not possible for Putin to run for a third term as President. He ensured that Dmitry Medvedev, his protégé became the President and Putin became the Prime Minister again. Putin again ran for Presidential post in 2012 and won it.

7. Putin had two elder brothers. Their names were Albert and Victor. Albert died during infancy. Victor survived only to die of diphtheria during Siege of Leningrad.

8. Putin’s mother Maria survived Siege of Leningrad by Finnish and German troops between 1941 and 1944. During the siege period, wall supplies to Leningrad were cut off, starving and killing about a million people. One of the elder brothers of Putin also perished during that siege. Putin was not yet born then.

9. During puberty, Putin realized that the other male teenagers were growing up fast. In order to be not being bullied by them, he started learning judo and by the time he was 18, he achieved a black belt.
Not only Judo, he even learned Samozashchita Bez Oruzhiya – popularly known as Sambo – a Russian martial art.

10. Putin is very fond of dogs. He has several of them. In 2007, Putin was blamed of scaring Angela Merkel – the German Chancellor. Putin and Angela were in a diplomatic meeting to discuss over Russia supplying energy to Germany. Putin was aware that Angela was very afraid of dogs as she was bitten by one when she was a child. Still, Putin brought his black Labrador to the meeting.

11. In 2010 when Ryazan region in Moscow came under wildfire, attempts were made to put off the fire using fire-fighting plane. Putin copiloted one such plane. Basically all he did was to push the button that released the stored water on the fire below.

12. Putin worked as a foreign intelligence office for KGB. His service tenure in that rank was 16 years. During that period, he became Lieutenant Colonel and eventually resigned from KGB in 1991.

13. Though Putin is beyond the nostalgia for USSR, he definitely has great affinity for USSR’s symbols of power. No wonder, he reintroduced the Soviet anthem (however, he had the lyrics changed).

14. Although Putin only earns a salary equivalent to $137,000 a year, because of corruption and cronyism he’s believed to secretly be one of the wealthiest men in the world. Putin is reported to have used his political influence to acquire stakes in several Russian and Ukrainian corporations that makes him worth more than Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. According to a former Russian deputy prime minister, Putin owns 20 palaces (including one valued at $1 billion), four yachts, 58 aircraft, and a collection of watches worth half a million dollars. Most of his assets are hidden through shell companies and other tactics used to shield his net worth from public scrutiny.
So, we can say he's the most richest (illegally) man in the world.

15. He is an author than has written more than 3 books.

What's your take on this?

The unique feature with him is his firm and decisive nature against terrorists thought it cant be over emphasized that Putin himself belongs to a Russian mafia/terrorist group.To fix arrangement terrorists meeting with God is his responsibility but to forgive them is up to God.

Putin was blamed of scaring Angela Merkel – the German Chancellor. Putin and Angela were in a diplomatic meeting to discuss over Russia supplying energy to Germany. Putin was aware that Angela was very afraid of dogs as she was bitten by one when she was a child. Still, Putin brought his black Labrador to the meeting.

How did the Russian President have 58 planes when He always using 2 like the USA president uses 2 planes
One with the President and one as a decoy

All those news has been from CNN, BBC, AJ like they said about Gadaffi but we all know the truth now

The best President in the History of Russia.
Those Western leaders want Russia to have a president like Yeltsin who sold his country to them.
I work with Russians every time and the only few that don't like Putin are those Rainbow people.

I still wonder why no Nigerian president; both past and present hasn't met with him?
Is it that there's nothing he can achieve from us cos he's wiser than them?
Just thinking though

They obey their masters from White House and London but even those in Whitehouse and London run to me
If you are USA or UK PM and you never met Putin then Life is not complete
