As it turned out, Putin gave his autograph through a veteran to volunteer Yekaterina Labutina, who was accompanying the ceremony.

“Ekaterina Stepanovna, with respect, V. Putin,” the note says. The photo was posted on Instagram girls.

The girl herself told Channel Five that she was attached to the veteran Nikolai Makarovich to help while participating in important events.

“They called me and offered this terrific opportunity: to volunteer for two weeks, accompany the honorary citizen, veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Chernykh Nikolai Makarovich, to be his volunteer, to help him for two weeks. Naturally, I agreed, ”said the girl.

According to her, she dared to ask Nikolai Makarovich for a memo from the president.

“I really love our Russia, I love our president very much, I am a patriot of our country and I really wanted to not miss this opportunity and ask for an autograph by Vladimir Putin. So I asked my veteran to ask for an autograph for me. Thank God it turned out ... He immediately agreed without hesitation, ”she explained.

As Labutin noted, Nikolai Makarovich was not embarrassed by her request, he said that Putin is the same person as everyone else.

On June 30, Putin and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko opened the Rzhev Memorial to a Soviet soldier.
