In terms of appearance, the current president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is by no means the kind of beautiful man who falls in love at first sight, he is said to be about 170 meters tall, but he has a unique charm. In a poll in Russia last year, Putin was voted the world's most attractive man in the eyes of women.

In Russia, Putin is favored by women, not only because he is the president, but one of the important reasons why Putin is favored by women is that whenever he appears in public, he always looks radiant, energetic, and masculine.

And the secret of Putin's vigorous energy lies in his insistence on physical exercise. We see that no matter how busy Putin is, he can insist on physical exercise, wrestling, fighting, riding and shooting, sometimes fishing shirtless, sometimes driving a motorcycle, sometimes entering a submarine to go down to Lake Baikal and diving into the sea off the coast of Russia, and sometimes flying in a plane into the blue sky. Putin's body is so strong. The muscles are so strong that they not only make him energetic, but also attractive.

Putin joined the Soviet Union during his university years and has not officially announced it. In 1976, Putin completed his training in the KGB, and two years later he entered the confidential department of the Leningrad intelligence service. He worked in this department until 1983, followed by a year of study at the KGB school in Moscow. In 1985-1990, the KGB sent Putin to the GDR, where Putin was given a secondary job. However, the data shows that the so-called secondary work is actually an espionage mission, and Putin collected economic espionage reports from West Germany in East Germany at that time. After the reunification of the two Germanys, Putin was recalled to Leningrad, after which Putin was offered another position in the Department of International Affairs of Leningrad University. On August 20, 1991, he resigned from his position in the intelligence agencies during the KGB's plot to overthrow Soviet Chairman Mikhail = Gorbachev.

In 1991, Putin became chairman of the Leningrad City Committee for International Liaison and was in charge of the city's foreign economic relations. His talents at work have been well received by his colleagues. In March 1994, Putin was promoted to the position of First Deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg... He is also the Chairman of the International Liaison Committee. He was Sobchak's right-hand man and was highly used. Sobchak took him with him wherever he went, and Putin was given the nickname of "Gray Archbishop".

In 1996, Sobchak lost the mayoral election... Deputy Mayor Yakovlev was elected mayor. Reluctant to stay in St. Petersburg to work, Putin came to Moscow through his fellow countryman, Chubais, who was then chief of staff to President Boris Yeltsin. At the beginning of 1997, Putin was appointed Deputy Head of the General Service Department of the Office of the President of Russia, in charge of legal and foreign economic relations. Three months later, he was transferred to the post of Director of the General Inspectorate of the Office of the President. Soon after, he was promoted to first deputy director of the presidential office, in charge of the local economy, dealing with local leaders, inspecting the state of local foreign economic relations, and especially monitoring how they used the loans provided by the central government.

March 29, 1998... Yeltsin dismissed Bordyuza, secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and appointed Putin to replace him. Four months later, on July 25, Yeltsin appointed Putin as chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation (formerly the KGB). When Prime Minister Kiriyenko held a brief ceremony for Putin's inauguration at the KGB headquarters, Putin said with great affection: "I have returned to my mother's home. "Eight years ago he left the KGB and started politics, and now politics has sent him back to the KGB headquarters.

On September 9, 1999, Putin was appointed one of the three Russian prime ministers. After this, the government led by the previous prime minister fell... Russian President Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin as prime minister. At the same time, Yeltsin announced that he hoped Putin would inherit his mantle. Putin also announced that he accepted Yeltsin's mandate. August 16th... The State Duma voted to approve Putin as prime minister (84 against, 17 abstentions). Since the four prime ministers before him were not in office for long, the public did not expect much from Putin, who was unknown at the time. Putin's main opponents, Yuri = Mikhailovich = Luzhkov and others, had already started their campaign campaign and were trying to attack Putin and prevent him from becoming Yeltsin's heir. However, Putin eventually became a popular presidential candidate with his public image of upholding law and order and his resolute attitude to the events in Chechnya. Putin has been tough on the events in Chechnya from beginning to end. When Chechen separatists invaded the neighboring Republic of Dagestan in 1999, Putin immediately ordered a return fire. On December 31, 1999, Putin visited Russian officers and soldiers in Chechnya, which greatly boosted his public image. Recently... Putin has deliberately downplayed the importance of the events in Chechnya. The matter was only eased when Chechnya's new constitution stipulated that Chechnya was part of Russia. Subsequently, Chechnya established an electoral system and local government, and the Chechen incident was basically resolved smoothly.

At that time, Putin did not have formal relations with any party ... But the United Russia party, which he supported, won 23,328 votes in the 1999 State Duma elections, the second most popular among all parties. So far, Putin has become the candidate with the highest chance of winning in the Russian presidential election this year. In 1999, Putin was appointed Prime Minister of Russia by President Boris Yeltsin. On the evening of December 31 of the same year, Yeltsin suddenly announced his resignation, and Putin became acting president in accordance with the provisions of the Russian Constitution. To this end... Russia's presidential election, originally scheduled for June, has been brought forward to March 26. The early election prevented the opposition parties from being fully prepared, and Putin's actual rise to power weakened the opposition parties, so in the subsequent elections, Putin won and became president. However, according to Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana afterwards, Putin did not want to succeed the president immediately, but hoped that Yeltsin would continue to serve as president until the end of his term. In October, Putin passed a bill on the revision of the Russian national anthem, changing the tune of the national anthem to the tune of the former Soviet national anthem in 1991, but with different lyrics.

On February 12, 2001, Putin signed a bill providing for the state to protect former presidents and their families. This is mainly because in 1999, former President Boris Yeltsin and his family were suspected of involvement in money laundering and other corruption.

On March 14, Putin was re-elected president with an absolute majority of 71 percent. During his second presidential term, he was widely criticized by Westerners for his crackdown on press freedom. At the same time, a 205 survey showed that of Russians agree with censorship. In response to this survey, sociologists believe that Russians agree with restrictions on ethical content, not on political content.

On the diplomatic front, Putin is trying to restore Russia's status as a superpower during the Soviet era... And with some success. For example, at the Munich Conference, Putin accused the United States of arbitrariness in international affairs and claimed that the United States "uses power unabashedly" in international affairs. In addition, Putin said: "No one will feel safe." No one would consider international law to be a wall that would protect them. U.S. policy is undergoing a worldwide arms race. "Putin noted that ... The ideal world order should be "a just and democratic world order that guarantees the security and wealth of all, not a few." "He played an important role in the development of uranium, the control and the prevention of space armaments. In January, Putin said in an interview that Russia advocates a democratic and multipolar world order and supports the consolidation of the international legal system.

Some Western politicians have long accused Putin of totalitarian tendencies. Although Putin maintains friendly relations with former US President George W. Bush, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, and others, the relationship between the new German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Putin is not ideal. Year... Putin negotiated with German Chancellor Gerhardt = Schroeder on the construction of a gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, and in the same year, Schroeder attended Putin's 53rd birthday party in St. Petersburg. However, relations between Russia and Britain are not optimistic: at the end of the year, the poisoning death of Litvinenko, a former Russian agent who fled to Britain, greatly deteriorated Russian-British relations. In addition, Putin has repeatedly tried to establish good diplomatic relations with the CIS countries. Putin and Western organizations such as the European Union and NATO have brought the countries of Central and Eastern Europe closer (especially

o The countries of the Russian Sea).

And one of Putin's most eye-catching moves by businessmen is that he has cleared all seven oligarchs out of Russia. But that's all later... Lin Yu didn't have much of an opinion on this.

The truth is always in the hands of the strong, Iraq is weak, and no one dares to say anything if it is destroyed by the United States... China is weak, so until now those parts that have territorial disputes with other countries have not been recovered, and what is in the hands of the strong is the truth, and the Russian oligarchs have been cleaned up by Putin, so it can only be said that they are too weak.

Lin Yu looked at Putin, who was capable and still very naïve, from a distance, and wondered why he appeared here? Isn't he supposed to be in the GDR now? Why is it in Russia? Could it be that Putin followed Yeltsin before the Yeltsin era came? Or was he one of the last straws that overthrew Gorbachev and crushed the Soviet Union?

Lin Eun found himself in touch with more and more secrets.

Looking at Yeltsin who was walking in front of everyone, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't give him face, and felt that Liang Shiqi's hand holding his arm suddenly tightened, Lin Yu's natural way Liang Shiqi must have recognized some of them, a little nervous... He gently patted the back of her hand and motioned for her to relax. Then, Lin Yu and Liang Shiqi also greeted him.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin." Yeltsin said with a smile.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Your Excellency Yeltsin, if I don't come to your invitation... Wouldn't that be too face-saving for you, and as your friend, I think attending your party should be a kind of support for you. ”

After saying that, he winked at Yeltsin.

Yeltsin smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. Lin said that the main reason for holding this gathering today is to introduce you to some people, these people are very powerful people in the Soviet Union, and I hope they can help you invest in the Soviet Union." ”

Lin Yu nodded: "Thank you." ”

"Here, I'll introduce you to some of these people." Yeltsin smiled and introduced the people around Lin Yu: "This is Grachev, who is now with the rank of major general." This is Gaidar, the editor of the magazine "**", an important theoretical journal of our party.

This is Volkogonov, this is Lebed............ ｀…”

Yeltsin introduced Lin Yu to the people present, but Lin Yu knew one, and that was Grachev.

Pavel = Grachev, son of a metallurgical worker, the last commander of the paratroopers of the USSR, Minister of Defense of Russia, was commented on as having a medium mind. In 1969 he graduated from the Lenin Komsomol Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School. He joined the Soviet Union in 1972 and served as a reconnaissance platoon commander, company commander, paratrooper training battalion commander, and graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in 1981. During the Afghan War, he served as deputy commander and commander of the paratrooper regiment, won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, later served as chief of staff and division commander of the Airborne Forces, was awarded major general in 1986, and after graduating from the Military Academy of the General Staff in June 1990, he became the first deputy commander and commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces. In 1991, he was exceptionally promoted by President Gorbachev to the first deputy minister of defense, and during the August 19 incident, Lieutenant General Grachev, who was the commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces, observed the direction of the wind, refused to carry out the order of Marshal Yazov, the minister of defense, turned the gun, and fell to Yeltsin, becoming Yeltsin's benefactor, and in 1992, Yeltsin appointed the Russian defense minister, replacing Yevgeny = Ivanovich = Sha

o Air Marshal Shnikov, who advocated the non-participation of the army in politics and neutrality in political struggles. However, in 1993, after the defeat in the first Chechen war, he was dismissed at the request of Alexander = Ivanovich = Lebed, and was transferred to the position of adviser to the general manager of the Defense Products Import and Export Corporation, and was dismissed from his position as an adviser to Yeltsin less than two days after his death.

Grachev can definitely be regarded as a die-hard supporter of Yeltsin, Lin Yu thought that he only fell to Yeltsin in 91, but he didn't expect that he had fallen to Yeltsin now, it seems that the political situation in the Soviet Union is beginning to be chaotic now, no wonder Gorbachev will beat Yeltsin, and now Yeltsin can definitely have the qualifications to threaten Gorbachev.

Lin Yu greeted everyone, and after Yeltsin's introduction, Lin Yu introduced Yeltsin with a smile: "This beautiful young lady is my dance partner today, Liang Shiqi."

Yeltsin shook hands with Liang Shiqi, and then said to Lin Yu with a smile: "Lin, I didn't expect you to be a merry boy, no wonder you Huaxia often say: People are not romantic teenagers." ”！。
