The head of state spoke about the meeting with marals on vacation, which impressed him because of their incredible size and speed.

“Huge marals are simple!

I have not seen such people yet!

It’s good that they didn’t drive into us, they nearly shot us down!

And at such a huge speed!

Jumping!

For them to compete at the Olympic Games, there would be no one equal, ”the President noted.

Putin and Shoigu stopped for the night in the taiga in tents.

In 2019, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that Putin prefers holidays in Russia.

The head of state himself admitted that he would like to go on a trip and rest, being unrecognized, but this is unrealistic.
